Havana (Agenzia Fides) – “At this moment, as Pastors, we are concerned that the response to these requests is immobility that contributes to giving continuity to the problems, without solving them. Not only do we see that situations get worse, but we are also moving towards a rigidity and hardening of positions that could generate negative responses, with unpredictable consequences, that would harm us all”: these are the words of the Cuban Bishops, sent to Fides, after the protests of the population on Sunday, July 11, caused by the tragic social and economic situation in which the country lives without the authorities reacting. The Bishops’ text continues: “A positive solution is not reached with impositions, nor by invoking confrontation, but when mutual listening is exercised, common agreements are sought and concrete and tangible steps are taken that contribute, with the help of all Cubans without exclusions, to build the homeland ‘with everyone and for the good of all’. This is the country we want”.
