Portal created in cooperation
with Lech Walesa Institute

The project of the socialistic Cuba of Fidel Castro is so much out of reality that it may be interesting only from a historical point of view.

Democratic movement is emerging, new civil initiatives for democracy is coming out, the generation born after 1959 is presenting its own ideas to organize the state . the proposals that are radically different than those supported by the official media. The dissidents and oppositionists as well as the young, in a bloodless and non-violent way, try to empower the society and encourage them to demand changes. There are more and more independent groups in Cuba that are not related to the ruling elite. Independent journalists, small and illegal press agencies, independent writers, activists and artists not only try to expose the malfunctions of the communist system, but also reveal the direction towards change. A unique environment is created in which individual and entrepreneurial thinking and self-effort is believed to be beneficial and sensible.

This website is dedicated to the civil society from Cuba - to the society that is growing with hope for the better future despite the atmosphere of constant threat and the regime's reprisals.

We created this site as a space for Cuban defenders of civic liberties and human rights so that they could be heard by Poles, and in return, so that Poles could take up the dialogue in solidarity with Cubans. We write about social, political and economic situation in Cuba. Read about the real situation in Cuba - and take a voice.

Polish solidarity with Cuba!
