00:00 The suspension of this tournament is something that was to come.
00:04 I am not surprised at all.
00:06 We know how far the tentacles of the Cuban dictatorial regime have gone.
00:10 We know that, counting on the complicity of Gustavo Petro,
00:14 a guerrilla with bloodstained hands, with the 19th Movement,
00:19 legitimized as a "civil politician"
00:22 precisely because of those fatal peace talks
00:25 of the former Colombian president Juan Manuel Santos in Havana,
00:29 which was precisely functioning as a mediator of this whole process.
00:33 These are favors that must be paid,
00:35 and must be paid as quickly and directly as possible.
00:38 We knew that Petro was going to make it difficult for a team of free Cubans.
00:42 The dictatorial regime of the island does not want that.
00:45 It does not want free players,
00:47 players who are not, let's say, under the jersey of the Cuban Baseball Federation,
00:52 and it could not allow it.
00:54 Because by allowing it,
00:56 it would also, of course, put itself in the center of attention
00:59 with expressions of freedom
01:01 by these players and all they represent.
01:04 Not only do they represent the Cubans of Miami,
01:07 not only do they represent the political prisoners,
01:10 but also the Cubans on foot, those who are on the island,
01:13 those who are in many ways aware of any positive result in baseball,
01:17 and unfortunately the pauperrium of Cuban baseball,
01:20 both at the domestic and international level,
01:23 cannot be given.
01:25 The Cuban people are not interested in the brightness of that flag,
01:28 they are not interested in the brightness of that star.
01:30 The only thing they are interested in is control,
01:32 and these players simply could not control it.
01:35 The bad news for the Havana regime
01:38 is that they can suspend tournaments when they have accomplices like Gustavo Petro,
01:43 but what will be impossible is to stop this process of free Cubans,
01:46 which in fact will continue with a great process,
01:49 including exhibition games
01:51 and a message that will be heard more and more clearly.
01:55 Because now we are outraged, we are upset with the suspension of this tournament,
01:59 however we have one more reason to continue fighting.
02:04 The Cuban Revolution is a story of the Cuban people.
