Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa.

 

castrohoneyA few days after the earthquake in Cuba’s executive mansion, we are still feeling the aftershocks.

Carlos Lage Davila (Vice President of the Council of State of Cuba) and Felipe Perez Roque (the foreign minister of the Republic of Cuba) both wrote letters recognizing errors and renouncing to positions in the central committee of the Cuban communist party and national assembly (legislature).

This improvised mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa. Looks more like the result of a request by the head of the government, a request like “I am going to make you an offer you can’t refuse”. (Right, from the movie”the Godfather”).

Many people believe that the reason for the elimination had to do more with them getting too dangerously close to Fidel Castros’s jar of honey ( The honey of power).
