President of Cuba, Raul Castro a “finest and skillful statesman” than his brother Fidel, has managed to get “all free” from US, according to one of his biographers, the writer and Italian diplomat Domenico Vecchioni.
The MartíNews portal Miami, Radio and TV Marti, published Wednesday interview made by one of its journalists to Vecchioni on the occasion of the upcoming visit to Cuba of US President Barack Obama, a journey that, according to the biographer It makes evident skills as a negotiator and leader of the Cuban American “surrender”.
“Raul has made a cynical and unscrupulous diplomacy, get everything you ever dreamed Fidel obtain” Vecchioni, who was Italian ambassador to Cuba between 2005 and 2009 and in 2011 he published his biography of the current Cuban president he said.
In his view, this man relegated “for half a century to live among racks, overshadowed by the intense shadow” of Fidel Castro, he has been fortunate to have as interlocutor Obama, a “weak, naive, eager president to leave some trace of his presidency, at least in a corner of the Caribbean. ”
The announced visit of Barack Obama to Cuba shows American “surrender” “against a Raul Castro who has obtained all free”, “without conceding anything yet in terms of democracy and human rights,” said the biographer.

Vecchioni said that “nothing in front” of Cuba has changed with the normalization of relations with the US, because “Cuba was and is a dictatorship, the Castro regime was and is a regime that denies fundamental freedoms, the political system Cuban was and is totalitarian. ”
Vecchioni, who has published in publishing and Greco Greco Editori Milan, among other books, biographies Raul Castro and the Cambodian dictator Pol Pot (2013), is a professor of Italian universities of Calabria and Mantua.
In his view, Raul Castro will fulfill his promise to step down in 2018, it will have 87 years, but by then “will have enough time to properly regulate their succession time, maybe thinking perpetuate one of his sons, Alexander and Mariela “.
Asked about a probable empathy between Barack Obama and Raul Castro, Vecchioni believes that more than anything has been “a marriage of reason” because “each had enough political and personal reasons” to end the enmity between Cuba and the United States .
The problem is that the “marriage contract” has just been favorable to Raul Castro, I stress.

DIPLOMÁTICO ITALIANO VECCHIONI: “RAÚL CASTRO “FINO Y HÁBIL”, BARACK OBAMA “INGENUO Y DÉBIL”.
Exembajador de Italia en Cuba D. Vecchioni califica de “cínica e inescrupulosa” la diplomacia de Raúl Castro
El presidente de Cuba, Raúl Castro, un “estadista más fino y hábil” que su hermano Fidel, ha logrado obtener “todo gratis” de EE UU, según uno de sus biógrafos, el escritor y diplomático italiano Domenico Vecchioni.
El portal MartíNews de Miami, de Radio y TV Martì, publicó este miércoles la entrevista hecha por uno de sus periodistas a Vecchioni con motivo de la próxima visita a Cuba del presidente de EE UU, Barack Obama, un viaje que, a juicio del biógrafo, hace evidentes las dotes como negociador del dirigente cubano y la “rendición” estadounidense.

“Raúl ha logrado con una cínica e inescrupulosa diplomacia, obtener todo lo que Fidel jamás soñaba obtener”, dijo Vecchioni, que fue embajador de Italia en Cuba entre 2005 y 2009 y en 2011 publicó su biografía del actual presidente cubano.
A su juicio, este hombre relegado “por medio siglo a vivir entre bastidores, opacado por la intensa sombra” de Fidel Castro, ha tenido la suerte de tener como interlocutor a Obama, un presidente “débil, ingenuo, ansioso por dejar alguna huella de su presidencia, al menos en un ángulo del Caribe”.
La anunciada visita de Barack Obama a Cuba muestra “la rendición” estadounidense “frente a un Raúl Castro que lo ha obtenido todo gratis”, “sin conceder todavía nada en el plano de la democracia y de los derechos humanos”, subrayó el biógrafo.

Vecchioni destacó que “nada en el frente interno” de Cuba ha cambiado con la normalización de las relaciones con EE UU, pues “Cuba era y es una dictadura, el régimen castrista era y es un régimen que niega las libertades fundamentales, el sistema político cubano era y es totalitario”.
Vecchioni, que ha publicado en la editorial Greco Greco e Editori de Milán, entre otros libros, biografías de Raúl Castro y del dictador camboyano Pol Pot (2013), es profesor de las universidades italianas de Calabria y Mantua.
A su juicio, Raúl Castro cumplirá su promesa de dejar el poder en 2018, pues tendrá 87 años, pero de aquí a entonces “tendrá tiempo suficiente de regular adecuadamente su sucesión, a lo mejor pensando perpetuarse con uno de sus hijos, Alejandro o Mariela”.
Preguntado sobre una probable empatía entre Barack Obama y Raúl Castro, Vecchioni opina que más que nada ha habido “un matrimonio de razones”, pues “cada uno de ellos tenía suficientes motivos políticos y personales” para terminar con la enemistad entre Cuba y Estados Unidos.
El problema es que el “contrato de matrimonio” solo ha sido favorable a Raúl Castro, subrayo.
