Cuba's Struggles in 2025. More than "El Bloqueo?"

Cuba's Struggles in 2025. More than "El Bloqueo?"

Author: Michael Welch May 16, 2025 Duration: 59:24
The Cuban people have been through so much over the last 60 plus years with intense periods of hardship, especially over the last decade. The bulk of this hardship, I suspect, is due to the Blockade. But there is a disturbing trend developing at least as far back as the Obama administration, that elements of the Cuban society are succumbing to American pressure and are serving roles willingly or not against the very principles of the Revolution. If that is the case, how does the resistance in the streets react to the reality of the enemy within so to speak? And has the Revolutionary fight weakened with the death of the legendary Fidel Castro? That concept will be the subscript to the discussion in a special episode of this program.
