Case of Cuban Five Discussed in Brazilian Television
HAVANA, Cuba, May 20 (acn) Elizabeth Palmeiro, wife of Ramon Labañino – one of the five Cuban political prisoners in the United States – said on Monday that his husband and his four comrades saved a lot of lives to the Cuban people. In an interview with TV-Brasil (channel 2), Palmeiro added that the Cuban Five – as they are known internationally – fulfilled their mission of warning Cuba about terrorist attacks that were organized by anti-Cuba extremist groups in South Florida.She recalled that nearly 3,000 Cubans have died as a result of terrorist actions planned and carried out by these terrorist groups in Miami who act in complicity with US authorities.Palmeiro explained that his husband, along with Antonio Guerrero, Fernando Gonzalez, Gerardo Hernandez and Rene Gonzalez, were arrested in 1998 for fighting terrorism and received harsh and unjust sentences after a biased process held against them in Miami.She stressed that after almost 10 years of unjust imprisonment, there is still a pending appeal process while Washington denies their families the right to visit them in prison.She noted that in her particular case, she has not been able to visit her husband with their daughters in the last two years, while Olga Salanueva and Adriana Perez, wives of Rene and Gerardo, respectively, have not been able to visit their respective husbands in the past seven and ten years.

Lamenta Cuba en Asamblea de la OMS incumplimiento de Objetivos del Milenio
GINEBRA, 20 de mayo.— Cuba lamentó en la Asamblea General de la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS), que los Objetivos del Desarrollo del Milenio en ese sector resulten inalcanzables para la mayoría de los países del Tercer Mundo.El ministro cubano de Salud Pública, doctor José Ramón Balaguer, criticó a los países ricos por no cumplir con su compromiso de contribuir al desarrollo aportando el 0,7% de su Producto Interno Bruto.Balaguer subrayó que al deterioro del sector en el Tercer Mundo, se suma ahora la agravada crisis alimentaria, debido al uso de los alimentos para la producción de combustibles y al alza de los precios.Entretanto, la nación antillana exhibe la tasa de mortalidad infantil de 5,3 por 1 000 nacidos vivos, en el 2006 y 2007, la más baja de América Latina y a nivel de los países desarrollados, añadió.Además, el 99.9% de los partos son institucionales y atendidos por médicos, alcanzándose una tasa de mortalidad materna directa de 21 por 100 000 nacidos vivos, aun cuando no estamos satisfechos con este resultado, puntualizó y al referirse al tema del VIH-SIDA, precisó que la epidemia en la Isla es considerada de baja intensidad, al tener una prevalencia de 0,09%.Por otra parte dijo, el también miembro del Buró Político, que "la Atención Primaria es la base de nuestro Sistema Nacional de Salud, lo que nos ha permitido alcanzar estos resultados en los Objetivos de Desarrollo del Milenio y cumplir, antes del 2000, la meta de Salud para Todos acordada en Alma Atá hace 30 años".El ministro destacó que Cuba, país pequeño, pobre y bloqueado, mantiene hoy más de 36 000 trabajadores de la Salud en 70 naciones y trabaja para formar en diez años 100 000 médicos de países hermanos, según reporta PL.

Petrobras welcomes the Minister of Industry of Cuba
By La Société - The Minister of Basic Industry of Cuba, Yadira García, was welcomed at Petrobras’ main office building, in Rio de Janeiro, where she participated in a work meeting with Company executives. During the meeting, issues regarding the cooperation agreement signed between Petrobras and the National Cuban Oil Company (Cupet), signed on January 15 2008, were discussed. The document calls for initiatives in the exploration & production, lubricant, refining, maintenance, research & development, and human resource areas. Petrobras and Cupet also examined the possibility of beginning seismic surveys in an offshore area in the Cuban sector of the Gulf of Mexico in the near future. Since the late 1990’s, foreign companies have been authorized to operate in that region. Progress was also made in the negotiations aimed at building a lubricant plant in Havana. For this purpose, the terms of the association agreement between Petrobras and Cupet to incorporate a mixed company are being negotiated. In research & development, the agreement foresees training for Cuban technicians in the oil and gas area through the Petrobras University, both in Cuba and in Brazil.

And What Now after the INTERPOL Show

After the initial repercussions of the presentation of the INTERPOL report on the “evidence” gained by blood and fire in Colombian territory, it now lays in the hands of the government of Bogotá to decide what to do on the matter. Meanwhile voices continue to increase to disqualify them or at least call for sound judgment. What is foreseeable is maintaining the issue in the press, mainly those used for these types of aggressions, a strategy that could be condemned to wear out due to disqualification or by the fact that such “evidence” lacks value or legal use. In Caracas, US ambassador Patrick Duddy said that his government accepts the INTERPOL report in which “there are elements for concern”. The US diplomat pointed out that the specialized agencies in the US, read the CIA and other intelligence and subversive dependencies, are analyzing the ‘computer’ information. This could be the introduction for an operation to attempt to fill in the empty and weak INTERPOL “technical report”, giving way to new lies. Meanwhile there will be a continuous ‘a la carte’ flow of alleged documents presumably belonging to FARC leader Raul Reyes, assassinated to stop him from denying the accumulation of lies and what is happening. It is not strange that these files are circulating in the press with the constant diatribes of the reactionary circles against the progressive governments and revolutionary and social leaders in different latitudes of the continent. The Universal of Mexico reported the “documents”, according to which the FARC had organized training workshops for taxi drivers in Mexico City known as Los Panteras, belonging to the Francisco Villa Popular Front. But even the General Secretary of the Organization of American States, Jose Miguel Insulza recently expressed in Lima: “I respect INTERPOL, but the report issued does not refer to the production or the content of the documents found”. “There is no evidence over the documents”. Ecuador’s President Rafael Correa, said it all. It deals with an anti Venezuela maneuver and against the countries where changes are currently underway. The US ambassador in Bogota, William Brownfield revealed the intentions of moving the base the US uses in Manta, Ecuador to the La Guajira peninsula. This is very close to the Venezuelan border where just recently new tensions were added in the already tense relations between both South American nations. Cynicism and provocation come from the White House envoy in Colombia after completing with his mission in Caracas. That gringo knows very well that the military installations in Manta were grossly used to support the incursion against Ecuadorian territory in flagrant violations of the bilateral accord and for the commission of the March 1st massacre in Angostura.

Chavez Insists: No Support to FARC
Caracas (Prensa Latina) Venezuelan Minister of Foreign Relations and Justicia Ramon Rodriguez impugned a series of provocations coming from US and Colombia against the government of President Hugo Chavez. There is no way to verify that the supposed evidences authorities in Bogota assure haven't been placed by the government of Alvaro Uribe, the Minister commented in declarations to TV Network TeleSur. Venezuela has contradicted during the last weeks accusations of Colombia about a presumed connection among governmental entities of this country and the guerrilla of the neighboring nation. The government of Chavez does not have any relation with FARC (Colombian Revolutionary Armed Forces), but those well-known negotiations destined to obtain a humanitarian agreement, Rodriguez indicated. Regarding the recent US aerial incursion in northern Venezuelan territory, the Minister explained that US pilot was fully aware of the fulfilled itinerary. The irruption of the US military airship is evidently part of a new and never-ending escalation of provocations against Venezuela, he affirmed. On Monday, Foreign Minister Nicolas Maduro confirmed the activation of a political mechanism of pacific solution to resolve the incident happened on May 16, related to the illegal incursion of Colombian troops in national territory.With firmness, wisdom and serenity, we started up a diplomatic procedure to disarticulate the provocation and to avoid a more serious bilateral litigation, Mature indicated in a press conference.
