The Path of Democracy in Cuba

A light from the
depths of the tunnel
José Hugo Fernández
Cuban Writer and Journalist
Resident of United States

D

eliberative Democracy is an
expression that any Cuban
loving freedom and progress
must not lose sight of it. Its precepts are
no longer some encouraging promise.
They became indispensable tools for the
most advanced sector of the civil
society and the peaceful opposition.
The Fifth Meeting of the Working
Group
on
Cuban
Deliberative
Democracy and Constitutional Design
was not another one among the many
meetings organized to create viable
programs and councils in the struggle

for human rights. After having
systematized the development of
popular workshops on dissemination
and exchange of experiences and
exposed the encouraging results in four
previous events, the fifth meeting was
held in Miami from September 30 to
October 2 this year and turned into a
breaking news, given the advantages of
Deliberative Democracy as model for
convening the citizens and training
them in sociocultural strategies to
successfully face the challenges of
democratization.
