The incident

The other day I witnessed an incident at Luyanò. Orlado Luis and I tweeted
what we could and we managed with difficulty to take some pictures before the police plainclothes
takes away the cameras. Traffic Accidents captain always and everywhere I wonder why the Cuban government prevents these accidents end up in the newspapers. It 's ridiculous and painful that members of the secret police, state security services dealing with, in the midst of catastrophe, to persecute the cameras and reporters.
Sometimes it seems to me that censorship and bureaucracy are living beings, with their laws of survival, their needs and to perpetuate their life cycles. Endangers the state tell us how many casualties there were 20 August, what were the causes of the accident, what happened to the driver?

Now there is a question of free press, nor of political freedoms, not even citizen's rights. This is a monster that has grown so much in 50 years that could swallow all the events in the nation. A monster that feeds on our knowledge of our intellect and our capacity to understand the story. A monster that swallows our troubles and our joys, our dreams and our lives
