Exiled Cubans Living in Spain Feel Abandoned as Benefits Dry Up
From the cry-me-a-river department, the NYT has an update on 115 Cubans who had been imprisoned in Cuba and to whom Spain gave asylum after it negotiated their freedom. Bottom line, they’re not happy:
Some of the Cubans have held protests in downtown Madrid, as well as in other cities like Málaga, to demand that their government support payments be extended, and critics and opponents of the government have accused it of abandoning the former dissidents.
Which gives credence to my theory that Cubans are Republicans by accident and are, at heart, social democrats.
