Yoani Sánchez pidió a subsecretaria de Estado tener acceso a compras on line

En una visita que realizara a La Habana en septiembre de 2009 para dialogar sobre el restablecimiento del correo directo entre Cuba y Estados Unidos, la subsecretaria de Estado adjunta para Latinoamérica Bisa Williams debió haberse sorprendido con la solicitud que le hiciera la bloguera Yoani Sánchez: levantar la restricción que le impide hacer compras por Internet.

“¿Sabe cuánto más podríamos hacer?”, sugiere la bloguera a la funcionaria norteamericana de más alto nivel que ha visitado La Habana en décadas, aludiendo con el término “poder hacer” a la “lucha” para derrocar al gobierno de Cuba por la vía del acceso libre al mercado on line. Al estilo cubano, se traduciría en un “vía libre a la pacotilla”.

La insólita revelación aparece en un cable filtrado por Wikileaks, que publicó este domingo el sitio estadounidense Along the Malecon.

El informe, firmado por el Jefe de la Oficina de Intereses de EEUU (SINA) en La Habana, Jonathan Farrar, y enviado al Departamento de Estado desde la sede diplomática estadounidense en La Habana el 25 de septiembre de 2009, describe la “cálida” acogida que el gobierno de Cuba le dispensó a Bisa Williams. También, que la subsecretaria se reunió con “disidentes”.

Yoani Sanchez asked Secretary of State for access to online shopping

In a visit to Havana in September of 2009 to have a discussion on the reestablishment of the direct mail between Cuba and the United States, the attached undersecretary of State for Latin America Bisa Williams must have been surprised with the blogger Yoni Sanchez request to him: to raise the restriction that prevents her from making purchases by Internet.

“Do you know how much more we could do? ”, suggests the bloguera to the North American civil servant of more high level than has visited Havana in decades, alluding with the term “to be able to make” to the “fight” to overthrow to the government of Cuba by the route of the free access to the market on line. In the Cuban style, she would be translated in a “free route to the junk”.

The unusual revelation appears in a cable filtered by Wikileaks, was published Sunday at the American site Along the Malecon.

The report, signed by the Head of the Office of Interests of the USA (SINA) in Havana, Jonathan Farrar, and sent to the Department of State from the US diplomatic headquarters in Havana the 25 of September of 2009, describes the “warm” welcome that the government of Cuba gave to Bisa Williams. Also, that the undersecretary met with “dissidents”.

Went to find a photo of Bisa Williams, found this:

They do look far more intelligent than the crap _Bush sent there.

(You should have warned us before posting that scary photo of a Yoanni-note!)

Thanks for the news on this attempt by Yoanni to run Cuban affairs herself.

And I didn't / don't have time to translate the whole thing but got a kick out of her being outed for what amounts to a charge card a la Palin. :)

What's the big deal? There's a lot of stuff available via the internet. For example, she could buy used books from Amazon.
