is another of those seemingly tiny details that will make you smile, and yet, in this island, it plays everything ...
Last Thursday, the newscaster did not read the text verbatim written the day before by Fidel Castro and published in Granma item. They read a summary, a summary.
is totally unprecedented.
Since the beginning of his " Reflections of the Commander in Chief " (must be the tenth now), and whatever the length of the text systematically presenters began their newspaper by reading word for word of that text.
No way to change a comma, skip a paragraph, summarize an idea: the word, that word is sacred, it is untouchable. This gave
hilarious scenes, ten, fifteen minutes of monologue, with a reporter transformed into an actor, trying to give impetus to intonation and long reflection written by another. Rodobaldo Hernandez and Rafael Serrano, respectively Featured presenters lunch and dinner, are particularly good at it, real actors, taking mine contrite or threatening depending on the tone required. The news came after
in what remained of time for the newspaper, sometimes a trickle.
But last Thursday, so this ritual declamation gave way to a summary.
Who decided that we could condense the long text (itself a summary record of three economists at A recent forum)? Who crossed the border taboo?
You will say that I exaggerate, but this island where everything is unsaid, the unwritten, every scratch on the veil of silence is the source of speculation.
For decades, Fidel Castro's speeches were transcribed fully and systematically in Granma, and rebroadcast in full on television, regardless of their length (usually between three and four hours, several times a week).
And one fine day someone decides to summarize the thought so often presented as perfect, Zenith Tube
... It does not look, but it's a real transgression.
