Categories: Caribbean, Latin America, Cuba, Digital Activism, Politics, Protest

Journalist and Global Voices author, Leila Nachawati [1], writes an open letter [2] [es] to Cuban blogger Yoani Sánchez [3], who has been touring [4] the United States, Latin America and Europe talking about Cuban technopolitics. Sánchez has been embraced by some, and criticized by others during her voyage. In her open letter, the Spanish-Syrian blogger Nachawati refers to some of Sánchez's comments on the Spanish state and society:

I was struck by your admiration towards the policies and institutions of this country [Spain]. I cannot deny that you may value aspects that pass unnoticed to many of us who live live here, but the truth is that our reality is far from a mirror to want to look into. I think we are far from being a model to follow or a formula to imitate.
