After a downside to most who ask permission to give up on trip back to ask him . Few, very few, continue to insist when he heard more than three times the sentence summary "You are not allowed to travel." Only a handful of hard-headed - among whom I include myself - back to the Department of Immigration and foreign demand for carte blanche to call denied on four occasions. Even though each new application possibilidaes seems that become more remote, I am encouraged to make clear that my imprisonment in this island has not been because there exhausted all legal avenues.
Under this philosophy can not start another proceeding in the direction of the municipality of Plaza DIE, this time to go to Jequié-Bahia in Brazil. In July there will be a festival where a docomentários young director submit a short film about Cuban bloggers, if you lose it will be because Will I have received the sixth "no" in just two years. As in all previous procedures, the invitation letter arrived on time, my passport is current and my criminal record stay clean. In theory I fulfill all the requirements as to cross the national border, but still voicing an opinion and criticism that I have already converted into a special type of delinquent.
For this trip I decided to knock on many doors as possible and are even sent a letter Brazilian President Luis Inacio Lula da Silva. Who knows if not listen to the demands of its own citizens, the government of my country to have receptive ears when you speak a foreign dignitary. My friends started to insinuate that being a "building block" with a numbered chap put on my shoulder blades, such as mobile inventory belonging to state institutions. One can only smile and shake well before playing the hopelessness with a nice play on words: "I will, yes ... I'm getting used to it."
