It is very lamentable that an entire population — 11-million Cubans on this island — has had all their rights as citizens taken away or limited. The civic, electoral, and judicial avenues for citizens to seek change, to demand a transformation, to demand the end of the status quo in our country has been blocked.
Es muy lamentable que toda una población-11millones de cubanos dentro de esta isla-,que se nos haya quitado, cortado, limitado todos los caminos ciudadanos, cívicos, electorales, jurídicos para intentar cambiar las cosas, para exijir una transformación, para exijir el fin del estatus quo en nuestro país.
