The Mexican newspaper La Jornada asked Mariela Castro about a possible "disguised capitalism" on the island, to which she replied emphatically that she was not going to "turn towards capitalism": "The people do not want to turn around.
The daughter of General Raúl Castro visited the FICG, where she received the Maguey Prize for her activism in favor of the rights of the homosexual community, women's rights and HIV / AIDS prevention.
In an interview with La Jornada, she was questioned about the refusal of the regime to have former President Felipe Calderón enter the island in February to attend the Oswaldo Paya Prize, Truth and Life.
"As Pope Francisco said: Latin America suffers the existence of some cypresses. We do not open the door to the vendepatrias," was the only answer he wrote about it.
Questioned about whether immigration policy has changed towards Cubans with the arrival of Donald Trump to the US presidency, said that "so far no".
"I would like the same treatment (given to Cubans) to be given to immigrants from all over the world who come to the United States looking for better economic conditions, which is what attracts them." What we do not want is the Adjustment Act For Cubans, because it encourages disorderly, illegal and dangerous immigration, the ideal is to provide the necessary visas so they can travel safely. "
On a supposed end of the embargo and the inflow of capital to the island, Castro Espín pointed out that "the limit (of capital inflow) would not generate an antagonistic social class to those that have historically been exploited and dispossessed. Of Cuba does not want the emergence of antagonistic social classes, because we have overcome that with the Revolution, therefore, the State and the Party observe and take care that there is no social class with influence in the political and that benefits from it ".
He also stressed that the health, culture, sport and food production sectors have to be guarded by the State that is responsible for "putting limits on the private producer".
Regarding the absence in Cuba of legislation for marriage between same-sex couples, Castro espíned that "laws can not change prejudices or consciences."
"Cuba has not adopted a law in favor of homosexual marriage because you can not repeat what others do and also this does not ensure the end of hate crimes towards that group," he concluded.
