Havana, Julio 20.- From the United States informations that subtract even more credibility to the one titled report of Bush Cuba arrive it has more than enough. Now it is about the electoral topic.

The second report on Cuba was presented recently by the North American secretary of State, Condoleezza it Ruffles, given to know by way of continuation of the one presented in May of two thousand four.

One of the announced questions is to eliminate the Cuban current electoral system and to establish one similar to that of the United States. How would it work? He/she explained to it this Monday the newspaper USA-Today.

According to this newspaper, that of more circulation, there most of the North Americans sample little interest in selecting candidates for the partial elections of November. In those elections it should be renovated the Camera of Representatives and the third part of the Senate and of the governors.

SCANDALOUS ABSENCE IN THE URNS Alone to end up for example being candidate to senator .como it happened in California - some have ended up investing up to twenty-five million dollars.

This year twenty-six North American states already made that type of elections, and the attendance, he/she said USA-TODAY it oscillated between a twenty and thirty percent of those who candidates should select. You arrived to the case, in the state of Virginia, that less than four percent of their three million and half voters they converged to vote.

It is surrounded by this panorama that the plan Bush proclaims an electoral new system for Cuba. Before they should repair his, consumed by such a serious crisis as insoluble.

Cuba y las elecciones de Bush



Por Nicanor León Cotayo

La Habana, Julio 20.- Desde los Estados Unidos llegan informaciones que restan aún más credibilidad al titulado informe de Bush sobre Cuba. Ahora se trata del tema electoral.

El segundo informe sobre Cuba fue presentado recientemente por la secretaria norteamericana de Estado, Condoleezza Rice, dado a conocer a manera de continuación del presentado en mayo de dos mil cuatro.

Una de las cuestiones anunciadas es eliminar el actual sistema electoral cubano e instaurar uno similar al de los Estados Unidos. ¿Cómo funcionaría? Lo explicó este lunes el periódico USA-Today.

Según este diario, el de mayor circulación, allí la mayoría de los norteamericanos muestra poco interés en seleccionar a los candidatos para las elecciones parciales de noviembre. En esos comicios debe ser renovada la Cámara de Representantes y la tercera parte del Senado y de los gobernadores.

ESCANDALOSA AUSENCIA EN LAS URNAS

Solo para llegar a ser candidato a senador –como por ejemplo sucedió en California- algunos han llegado a invertir hasta veinticinco millones de dólares.

Pero después, al formalizar esa candidatura en las llamadas elecciones primarias de los partidos, la ausencia en las urnas de millones de personas resulta escandalosa.

Este año ya veintiséis estados norteamericanos efectuaron ese tipo de comicios, y la asistencia, dijo USA-TODAY osciló entre un veinte y un treinta por ciento de quienes debían seleccionar candidatos. Se llegó al caso, en el estado de Virginia, de que menos del cuatro por ciento de sus tres millones y medio de electores concurrieron a votar.

Es rodeado por este panorama que el plan Bush pregona un nuevo sistema electoral para Cuba. Antes debieran remendar el suyo, consumido por una crisis tan grave como insoluble.
