Cuba's Political Future: Democracy, Land Reform and Free Elections

What is your political philosophy? Are you a communist or a Marxist?

There is not communism

or Marxism in our ideas.

Our political philosophy

is

representative democracy and social justice

in a well-planned economy.

Would you seize lands of absentee owners, or would you expropriate

foreign holdings?

No,

we don't think to seize

land, any land to anybody.

What we will do is to buy those lands that,

that be out of production,

to give them to poor countrymen.

How do you plan now to seize the power?

We are not fighting for power.

We are fighting for finishing tyranny, and then

our movement will seize power by free election.

We don't want power by force.

Would you be president?

We will establish

a real representative and democratic

government. I don't think in being president.

I am not fighting for that, not, nor for any other

charge.

I cannot answer, I cannot answer you

about myself because I don't think about

that.

Tell me something about the plight of the ordinary Cuba.

The first plight now is the lack of

freedom and justice,

and after that, a low standard of living,

hundreds of thousands of young men without

job.

But

Cuba is a rich country

with a wonderful future

if we only have good governments.

Well,

a matter-

Uh, how did you-
