In the wake of U.S. President Obama's visit to Habana, Cuba's journal "Granma", the official voice of Cuba's Communist Party, published an editorial that drafted the official Cuban position for further talks with the United States. A news evaluation of that editorial, originally published by a Panama daily, has now been quoted in yesterday's edition of cuba.cu. Here my translation of the complete article:
Panama media highlighting Cuba's position before Obama's visit.
Panamá, 13 de mar (PL). Bajo el título "Granma extiende la mano ante la visita de (Barack) Obama, pero cierra filas", el matutino panameño La Prensa reseña hoy un editorial del periódico cubano sobre la próxima visita del presidente estadounidense a Cuba. "El diario oficial respalda el acercamiento a Estados Unidos, pero le exige a Obama que la política de cambio de régimen sea definitivamente sepultada", señaló sobre la postura definida por el diario del Partido Comunista de Cuba (PCC).
Panamá, March 13:
Under its title "Granma reaches out its hand in advance of Obama's visit but closes its ranks" the Panama morning journal La Prensa is evaluating today an editorial of Cuba's daily ["Granma"] and which is regarding the forthcoming visit of the U.S President to Cuba. "The official [Cuban] daily supports an approach towards the United States, however, demands from Obama to definitely bury the policy of change of regime, such hinting at the definite position taken by the daily of Cuba's Communist Party (PCC).
Reflejó un párrafo del editorial en el cual el rotativo cubano señala que "debe reconocerse la posición reiterada [del presidente de Estados Unidos] de que el bloqueo tiene que ser eliminado", pero advierte que "debe abandonarse la pretensión de fabricar una oposición política interna sufragada con dinero de los contribuyentes estadounidenses".
A paragraph in its editorial is reflecting how the Cuban printing media signals that "one has to appreciate the position [of the U.S. president] repeatedly saying the blockade should be eliminated", while admonishing that "it needs to give up the pretension of creating an internal political opposition and which is financed with money from U.S. tax payers."
La reseña destaca la parte del artículo en la que se recuerda el bloqueo económico, comercial y financiero a Cuba y las prerrogativas ejecutivas del Presidente estadounidense para modificar tanto como sea posible su aplicación, sin necesidad de una acción legislativa.
The evaluation is highlighting a part of the [Cuban] article which is reminding the economical, commercial and financial blockade of Cuba and the administrative prerogatives of a U.S. president to modify his venture as far as possible without any need for legislative activity.
El tema de la próxima visita oficial de Obama a La Habana, anunciada entre el 20 y 22 del presente mes, se refleja constantemente en medios panameños, algunos de los cuales invitan a expertos para analizar el contexto del hecho, sus proyecciones en el desarrollo de la isla y la repercusión para la región.
The subject of Obama's forthcoming official visit to Habana, and which has been announced [to take place] between the 20th and 22th this month, found its constant repercussions in Panama media, some of them inviting specialists for an analysis of [the subject and its consequences] in the development of the island, as well as, the regional repercussions.
