I neither fear nor believe their threats!

The response from independent Cuban journalist José Luis Tan Estrada to the Castro regime's "ambassador" to Belgium and the European Union has revealed him not as a diplomat, but as a vulgar mouthpiece for a dying tyranny that has run out of arguments, resorting only to insults. This demonstrates what Cuban diplomacy truly represents.

Calling me a "worm" and a "mercenary" doesn't offend me: it honors me. Because if defending freedom, denouncing repression, and demanding dignity for my people makes you an enemy of the regime you represent, then I am exactly where I should be.

You talk about courts and the Penal Code, but you forget that you represent a State internationally accused of crimes against humanity, that imprisons children for protesting, makes voices disappear, and turns poverty into State policy.

His words are nothing more than a reflection of a diplomatic apparatus reduced to shouting "plattist" from comfortable offices in Europe, while in Cuba people rummage for food in the garbage.

I neither fear nor believe your threats. Because it is you who are afraid, you who have lived for more than six decades protected by impunity and control. Your time is running out, and you know it.

What is truly criminal is not what you point out, but what you defend. You are not representing Cuba, you are representing a mafia in power.
