Cuban activists have expressed their rejection of the arrest of the former president of Bolivia, Jeanine Añez, taken to prison at dawn on Saturday by the authorities of that country.

The leader of the Cuba Decide platform, Rosa María Payá, has been one of the Cuban dissidents who has expressed her rejection of this action that she describes as “political revenge” against the former interim president of the South American country.

Similarly, Payá considered that these repressive actions that are being reported in Bolivia are “under the orders of Havana” received by the former president of Bolivia, Evo Morales.

The revenge, the orders from Havana and the political persecution that (no longer) are hidden behind the narrative of the victim of Evo Morales.

– Rosa María Payá

It should be remembered that, in January 2020, Rosa María Payá, representing Cuban activists, met with the former interim president of Bolivia, whom she thanked for her support of the fight for Cuban freedom.

Similarly, another of the Cuban activists who repudiated the arrest of Jeanine Añez was Félix Llerena, who considered that the ex-president has been the only politician “that has stood up to Castro-communism in Bolivia.”

With Jeanine Añez there were no businesses, no doctors, no relations with the Castro and Maduro regime, Morales’ partners and mentors. That is why they go against her. But you are not alone, sister.

It is worth mentioning that the Cuban-American congresswoman for the 27th District of Florida, María Elvira Salazar, also rejected the political persecution against the former president of Bolivia.

The Republican considered that Jeanine Añez is kidnapped by the socialist accomplices of Evo Morales.
