The Creation and Actions of a Counter-Revolutionary The Case of the Organizer of the "March for Change""Yunior is seeking confrontation with the armed forces, with MININT," is how "Agent Fernando" defines the plans of the leader of the Archipiélago platform, adding that "we are seeing in Yunior the creation and actions of a counter-revolutionary."
Carlos Leonardo Vázquez González, a doctor, first degree specialist in general comprehensive medicine and specialist in oncology, was for 25 years agent Fernando. "I am a Cuban, a revolutionary, a Martiano, and most importantly a Fidelista. I am sitting here today to make this public denunciation to the people of Cuba so that they do not allow themselves to be deceived by leaders created by How-To manuals, because Cuba will never be taken over by the great enemy to the North." On October 12, the Administrative Council of Old Havana denied the request of citizen Yunior García Aguilera to hold a march for supposedly peaceful purposes scheduled for November. Using as a pretext that it was a civic initiative, conceived simultaneously for the whole country, he based his request on article 56 of the Constitution of the Republic of Cuba. This article states that "The rights of assembly, demonstration and association, for lawful and peaceful purposes, are recognized by the state provided that they are exercised with respect for public order and in compliance with the precepts established by law." The text of the Constitution also explicitly states in article 45 that "The exercise of the rights of individuals is limited only by the rights of others, collective security, general welfare, respect for public order, the Constitution and the law." The material made public by Razones de Cuba explains that "The march for change," as this illegal and counter-revolutionary action is called, constitutes an attempt to generate a climate of insecurity, destabilisation and ungovernability, on the very day that the country opens its international borders and more than 1,600,000 students return to school. At the beginning of 2018, Yunior traveled to Argentina to participate in an event coordinated by the project "Time for change and the new role of the armed forces in Cuba." On the website of the Torcuato Di Tella University, the project's coordinating centre, the objectives are set out, among them: "To continue the study of the FAR [Revolutionary Armed Forces -- Ed.], both through interviews, analysis of the information circulating, contacts by email to be able to adequately transmit possible scenarios and supposed allies in the future to activists." According to the website, another of the objectives is to "cooperate with Cuban actors so that they can generate activities that allow them to link up with FAR members open to the processes of change." Another aim of the course was to "encourage civil society actors to disseminate knowledge and activities about the FAR." According to Razones de Cuba, at this meeting the leader of Archipiélago spoke with academics Ruth Diamint and Laura Tedesco, the architects of the "Dialogue on Cuba" project. The "staging" that García Aguilera is developing began much earlier than the playwright would like to admit. Dr. Carlos Leonardo Vázquez González has evidence saying, "In September 2019 we participated in an event on the role of the armed forces in a transition process." The participants were all Cubans -- Vázquez González recounts -- from different sectors: doctors, journalists, historians. "Yunior García Aguilera was there at that workshop [...] This workshop in which I participated, is part of a project that is being carried out by experts from different parts of the world. There are many organizations that are financed by the United States, such as the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), the Institute for Freedom (IPL), People In Need, CADAL [a non-government organization registered in Buenos Aires purporting to defend human rights -- Ed.], whose objective is to overthrow the Cuban Revolution." In the course, Richard Young, an expert from the Washington-based Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, gave a lecture on the new forms of civic activism "which translates into the establishment of a fundamentalist and privatizing capitalism," according to the material released. At the same workshop, sponsored by the U.S.-based Saint Louis University, with a campus in Madrid, participants met with Felipe González Márquez, who was president of Spain from 1982 to 1996, leader of the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE). In 1983, he created so-called anti-terrorist liberation groups responsible for kidnappings, torture and assassinations. Another of those summoned was the counter-revolutionary Manuel Cuesta Morúa, who since 2014 has been working for the NED. Cuesta Morúa orchestrated the provocative plans against the summits of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC) in Havana and the Summit of the Americas in Panama in 2015. Carlos Leonardo Vázquez recalls that during the workshop, Yunior told Cuesta that he "admired him as a political dissident and that they could get in touch at some point to discuss some issues." "Yunior García Aguilera's prominence began at the Saint Louis University, where he emotionally declared that on his arrival in Cuba he was going to devote himself to the counterrevolution," declared Dr. Carlos in the material provided by Razones de Cuba. On the night of November 26, 2020, the Archipiélago leader posted on his Facebook wall, "Cuba, and what do we do now?," a phrase that has an analogy with the words pronounced by the playwright Václav Havel, defender of the hegemonic aims of the United States, who said "Something must be done." The next day [Yunior] appeared in front of the Ministry of Culture to "call on creators and intellectuals who are dissatisfied with the management of the institutions of the sector to disrespect the law," behind a supposed artistic position. In the context of the events of 11 July, Yunior García went to the Cuban Institute of Radio and Television to make a 15-minute public intervention, following the unconventional warfare manuals applied in Venezuela, Nicaragua and Yugoslavia. Another typical element of the so-called soft coups is the affiliation and activism of people of culture. The media are also a key part of the fabric of the coup, fostering discontent and distrust of the government and its policies, as well as boosting the morale of the insurgents. What is a colour revolution? "To provoke chaos and disobedience in society, as well as to provoke international organisations to impose sanctions that could lead to military intervention and the establishment of an alternative government," Vázquez González pointed out. One of the actors in the current rhetoric of aggression against Cuba is Ramón Saúl Sánchez Rizo, a notorious terrorist linked to organisations such as Alpha 66, Omega 7, Coordinación de Organizaciones Revolucionarias Unidas (CORU) and the Frente Nacional de Liberación de Cuba. In 1982, he was accused of participating in the assassination attempt against Raúl Roa Kourí, Cuba's ambassador to the United Nations. In early 1995, he joined the naval flotillas of the organization Cuba independiente y democrática, which have violated Cuban territorial waters on many occasions. He is currently president of the "Democracy Movement." Although the leader of Archipiélago denies his links with subversive organizations or agencies financed by the U.S. government, since 2017, he has been identified by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, an organization directed until March 2021 by William Joseph Burns, current director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). Likewise, well-known far-right figures such as Marco Rubio, María Elvira Salazar and Orlando Gutiérrez Boronat support the (November 15) march. On October 12, Yunior García himself acknowledged to teleSUR his relationship with Timothy Zúñiga Brown, chargé d'affaires at the Washington Embassy in Havana, but omitted to mention his links with Alexander Augustine Marceil, a Cuban Affairs officer at the U.S. State Department who has carried out temporary missions in countries in conflict such as South Sudan, Kenya and Mexico. Marcelli has visited Cuba three times between 2019 and 2021, and on his arrival in Havana he has met with members of the internal counterrevolution. For her part, Saily González Velázquez, spokesperson for the Archipiélago platform in Villa Clara acknowledges the support offered by the Cuban-American National Foundation. In another interview, she said that "what I am doing is informing myself with people like Omar López, other people who are advising us on the subject of peaceful resistance and non-violent struggle." It should be noted that Omar López Montenegro is the human rights director of this foundation, protector of the terrorists Luis Posada Carriles and Orlando Bosch Ávila, perpetrators of the bombing of the Cubana de Aviación plane that killed 73 passengers, including the youth fencing team. "He is calling for a march that he says is peaceful, but he knows it is not. Because in the paramilitary workshop where we participated there were two generals. What Yunior García Aguilera is looking for is a confrontation between the Armed Forces and the people, and we will not allow that," said Dr. Carlos Leonardo Vázquez González.
