The coordinator of the opposition Christian Liberation Movement Osvaldo
Paya presented a program this Wednesday entitled "All Cubans" that
proposes modifying the Socialist Constitution of Cuba and implementing a
new electoral law to facilitate a peaceful democratic transition.
According to Paya, who opposes the Castro regime, this program should be
analyzed by the National Assembly and taken to a referendum after
stating that the documents were consulted in a broad-based based
national dialogue that involved between 12,000 and 15,000 people.
Paya affirmed in a press conference at his home that he is presenting
this project within a "spirit of reconciliation" but also as a resource
to construct a road that everyone can travel "without exclusions, as
brothers, as free men and women to offer the new generation a more free,
human and just society."
On the other hand, according to Enrique Lopez Oliva, correspondent from
the Monitor of Mexico, Paya called on the US government to hold a
"sincere dialogue without conditions" with the Cuban people. The MCL
leader underlined that it is a "proposal, as a service to the Cuban
people, with a vision that peaceful change is possible among Cubans, who
are the ones who have the right to design a project for Cuba."
"The people want change," he declared, after stating his impression that
this will be peaceful.
Paya denounced that there are currently 25 members of the Christian
Liberation Movement in prison and some 50 activities who supported the
Varela Project, supported by the Movement. Paya and the MCL, like the
rest of the Cuban opposition, do not have access to national media and
are heavily controlled.
