Amazing how short the time: we time, no hurry, and circumstances change suddenly, and the memories become as obsolete.
There are only ten days, the Omni were at home, a week of madness , three performances in the capital, many corre corre and joy.
Then they were left to the train that took them to Barcelona, where waiting other representations. From there they would seek a way to stay a few weeks in Europe to continue to happen everywhere where friends could find accommodate them and their scenes (and fifteen years of existence and creation, they have friends everywhere). But
accelerated impossible to extend the Schengen visa, returned to Cuba. Good.
And then their mail just now on my screen, first news since their return is bad news ...
Upon arrival at Havana airport, while they were confiscated: computer, hard drive, cameras, film presentations, poetry, their e-mails, everything is in receivership ...
By opening their luggage, customs officials found in their CD business with documentaries on the Ladies in White , on underground rappers . " Oooh, it's heavy! " has a customs commented on seeing this.
Everything was confiscated for 30 days, the time for seguridad del estado conduct the investigation. But what investigation? What is this show? They think differently? They are free in spirit and in action? Is this really prove? And then what?

Meanwhile, learn that Sonia's ex-wife Reinaldo , was threatened in Venezuela, where she has lived since the early 1990s. I met her when she was returned to Cuba for the first - and only - time in 2005 I believe, on the anniversary of the daughter she had with Reinaldo. We had a celebration at 14 e floor in Yoani and Reinaldo. Normal.
Last January, in Caracas, where she lives, on the occasion of an administrative appointment, police officers, including a Cuban, asked her why she had gone to Reinaldo, who frequented the house, what opponents, etc.. As her say she knew nothing and it does not look at them, one guy threatened her: " Well, you should be careful in the streets, with all the insecurity there in Venezuela ... "
She returned home terrified. Some time later, the Cuban consulate where she made the steps to go to Havana to get acquainted with his two granddaughters, he was told to return for an appointment with the consul. She preferred to abstain. She left Venezuela since the end of March she lives in Bogota, and feels in danger.
Mechanics oppressive, threatening device, scare people, wherever they are, and indirectly weaken those who are actually referred ... qué feo ... how ugly ...
