Projections of the Party on Some Economical Issues


If we pretend to have a government totally to the service of the people, only as a regulator or an umpire, a government which holds only basic services like the Army, Police Corpse, Civil Defense, Customs, Water and Sewer, Mail Delivery Service, Public Health and Education, all of them well supervised by civic society, through mechanism that will have to be determined, with the objective to control their efficiency and avoid corruption. With these points of view we want to establish the fact that we are for a free market economy. The Productive sectors of society need the market itself to guide the economy and its prices, without the intervention of the government, except for moments of crisis, The State has to enforce laws and codes and establish social stability, this matter being of utmost importance for a continuous development, the rest is just matter of time and effort from our people in the production process, and in this effort we will be shoulder to shoulder with the people.


In our economical proposal the starting point would be to turn private all productive entities in hands of the government, avoiding chaos and giving priority in every case to active workers in production and services sectors of productivity. This is to implement some justice and give them a portion back of what they have worked for in the last forty five years of ruthless exploitation and alienation of their basic rights. In an later stage a different dynamic will be given to the economy based on the doings of men and women of the people and their entrepreneurship, They will have to test themselves and compete with external and internal factor. We expect competition to jumpstart the economy and improve the quality of production and services, aspects of high impact in the development of the economy.

With the objective to give guarantees to everyone involved in the process of saving to create an investing capital, and here are some magic words to evolve as a country, provide stability and safety to foreign investors and to international financial institutions. We should embrace prosperity we should realize that nothing will be more absurd than the communist regime governing, we should name US dollar our official currency and then we will have a safe currency and be able to create solid financial relations domestic as well as international. Let's take a look at Latin America and the third world in general and observe the monetary problems they confront. Let's take a look at the huge benefits the European Union have had after adopting the Euro as a common currency. If we create a solid state of law and a trusted and efficient judiciary environment that sets at ease the investors and we add the spirit of entrepreneurship of our people, brave, ambitious, competitive, all those necessary characteristics to improve a national economy, one that will need hard work and efforts to increase productivity. None of our proposal we consider them to be innovative or anything of the like, all this is based on the economical experience of all the people all around the globe, all of them seeking for a better life and seen in the different contexts in all different countries.

In order to illustrate our ideas we will set an example, it may need to be polished by experts in the matter, but we consider it necessary, since our people need education in these topics, we will try to put it in the simplest of ways to make it comprehensible.

Taking into account that all entities of production and services are in hands of the government, they should be transferred to the National Bank of Cuba to be appraised and sold.

In our reality, let's take a hotel built by the regime. A Special Committee at the bank will appraise it. The workers of this Hotel will be trained among other things in knowing what a corporation is, what a stock is, since they will be sold to them, each and every one of them, part of the training should lead them to understand the responsibility and the commitment of this corporation and its owners to the bank, this should be done without the use of down payments and a low interest.

These stockholders (the hotel workers) will elect the board of directors for the corporation with no interference, all this should be carried on under laws and regulations previously established.

After this transaction is accomplished it is the responsibility of the corporation and its owners the correct functioning of the enterprise and the achieving of the financial commitment to the bank.

Parallel to these transactions there should exist programs and educational conferences for general information of the people in these topics through radio, TV, and written press.

This is one of so many ways to implement justice and a means to create a laborious society, disciplined and responsible. Will be one way to show that democracy will not take away anything the people already have, on the contrary, will give rights and privileges that are beyond imagination in the Castro regime, and the future democracy will be armed with such a moral strength that will unveil the disguised communist by their incompetence to the new situation and their position of non privileges different to the ones applied to all members of society and have to work to provide for their families, without their corrupted souls and the breastfeeding of the regime, in job positions now where their lucrative activities are based in stealing and speculation, with revolutionary titles to death. These will show up with the rights given by democracy, with their post signs asking what is now forbidden to the people and reserved to communist members of the elite. The only good we will inherit is all the bad deeds they have done, that way the Cuban people will remain protected against the different communist virus that will eventually raise up, sometimes in the most sophisticated disguises.

The Republican Party of Cuba proposes these privatizing measures with the believe to be able to unmask the real terrorists and mental handicapped of the governing communist regime and to raise a moral bar too high for these communists to clear in the democratic future of Cuba.
