In coyote regimes

We often read about that particularly predatory human subspecies we call “coyotes,” unscrupulous subjects who live off the desperation of those who seek to have a better life for themselves and their loved ones.

These guys have no mercy. They traffic people making them face innumerable dangers, ending many, kidnapped, raped or murdered. It is a dirty multi-billion dollar international business in which organized crime, an entity present in more than one government in the hemisphere, has a large participation.

It is prudent to wonder if this activity was originally an invention of criminal-minded governments or simple criminals who are always in search of a greater fortune. The questioning is a consequence of the recent decision of the Nicaraguan dictatorship to banish 222 political prisoners, a an act that confirms that the tyrants of Castro Chavismo do not even respect their own laws.

This release of political prisoners to obtain some political or economic benefit was a practice that Fidel Castro instituted in the 1960s when he put a price on the head of each and every one of the prisoners of the 2506 Brigade, later, whenever an influential United States senator traveled to Cuba and interceded for a prisoner, the dictator gave him some of his slaves. The same was the case with the few Ibero-American political leaders who were interested in those who rotted in the ergastulas of the Caribbean tyrant, even the Nobel Prize winner Gabriel García Márquez, who was rewarded by his friend Castro with a slave, the now-defunct political prisoner Reinol González.

The Castro Chavista regimes enact particularly repressive laws whose direct results are death or imprisonment, however, they break them with extreme ease if there is any benefit involved, because all those hierarchs share the greed of coyotes.

Of course, these exiles, in addition to seeking economic benefits, have political gains in sight. The Ortega-Murillo duo seeks, with the banishment of political prisoners, an approximation to the government of President Joe Biden, which apparently, as former President Barack Obama did, is in favor of a rapprochement with the despotisms that prevail in the hemisphere , perhaps, with the naive idea that the bad give in to the good examples.

Political prisoners are a by-product of repression, the greatest hallmark of Castro Chavismo. To achieve absolute social control, punishment is essential, that is why in Cuba, Venezuela, Nicaragua and Bolivia there are political prisoners who in most cases have not committed any crime, have been sanctioned for the right to think and express their opinion without hypocrisy. , a crime for the autocrats who rule those countries.

The worst thing is that they use repression as an instrument of punishment, in addition to simulating changes. The insanity of these regimes lies in condemning a large number of people for no reason with the aim of breaking them, sometimes releasing them en masse and banishing them, in order to receive benefits from the government that hosts them or at least, make the regimes think. useful idiots that the dictatorship is changing to exile prisoners who did not commit crimes, commented the writer José Antonio Albertini.

The best proof of this affirmation goes back to the arrival in Spain of several prisoners of the Black Spring of Cuba, something similar to what the Ortegas did. On that occasion, MEP María Muñiz, from the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats, told DW-WORLD, "This gesture by Cuba must be appreciated," adding "this will allow the position to be changed in the near future. Common of the European Union towards Cuba”, ignoring that the prisoners were unjustly sanctioned, as is the case with the Nica exiles.

It is not fair that tyrants are rewarded for rectifying their crimes. The Iranian autocrat, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, pardoned prisoners for the protests that led to the murder of the young Mahsa Amini and according to some rumors, Castroism released protesters on July 11, 2021. These injustices should not be rewarded by democratic governments declaring that there are changes and granting benefits, when the dictatorship is actually preparing the prisons to receive new innocents.
