So how do I post links? Thanks for posting mine.

No need to display this, just write to me privately.

Best,

Thanks, Walter, as always.

Links are certainly allowed. Here’s the link to what Walter mentioned to CubaNews’ translated pieces: click here.

And yes, as I’ve mentioned in previous posts, the Internet restrictions that temporarily affected Cubans in tourist hotels have now been lifted. Baschuk certainly missed this and a lot else in his video production. Here is the English translation of the specific article in which Ravsberg mentions the lifted Internet restrictions, an article that I linked to in Spanish in previous posts.

Evidently Adrian Baschuk’s not familiar with the recent reports from BBC Mundo, the BBC’s Spanish-language service, whose correspondent, Fernando Ravsberg, reported twice in the last two weeks that the Internet restrictions you talk about have been removed.

In light of the concert held at Revolution Plaza a few weeks ago, led by the Colombian singer Juanes, most Cuban-Americans now favor freedom for all from the United States to travel to Cuba, not just Cuban-Americans who are the only ones allowed unfettered access as of now.

This was the Bendixen report discussed in the MIAMI HERALD in recent days.

CubaNews has a translation of these BBC articles and I’d be happy to provide here, but you don’t allow links.
