Well, A Whole Lot!!!
The photo above was taken in Havana on this very first weekend in the New Year of 2019. It's important because it actually reflects the current pulses and rhythms taking place on the island, superseding even the Trump administration's apparent willingness to allow a trio of vicious Counter Revolutionaries -- Marco Rubio, John Bolton, and Mauricio Claver-Carone -- to execute what might be a bloody regime-change this spring. While Cubans on the island...including eleven million everyday Cubans...are well aware Rubio and his cabals in Miami and Washington remain unchecked by Trump as well as the U. S. media and the U. S. citizens, the Cubans in Cuba are focusing on internal issues, not diabolical threats from the world's nearby Superpower that has tried, each day since 1959, to execute another U.S.-friendly regime change in Cuba. In the photo above -- taken Saturday, Jan. 5-2019 -- Rosy Amaro Perez is excitedly pointing to a landmark in Havana. Rosy is quite aware of the Rubio-led intentions but her excitement remains undeterred because she is a prime advocate of dramatic changes on the island, which started on April 19, 2018, when former Education Minister Miguel Diaz-Canel became Cuba's first non-Castro and first non-revolutionary President since 1959. Beyond that, Rosy and 11 million Cubans on the island are excited about what will happen on February 24th of this New Year. That's the day Cuba will get its first new Constitution since 1976. Rosy posted a giddy caption to this photo: "Si esta arrimando un dia feliz." {"It is getting closer to a happy day."}. That's an important sentence, far more important than most of the media coverage of Cuba in the Western World.

Although ignored by a U. S. media that is afraid to challenge the Counter Revolutionary zealots in Miami and in Congress, Cuba's new Constitution is a big deal. It was proposed by the island's diverse parliament, as shown above, and then it has been discussed and debated by everyday Cubans at 24,000 sites across the island, affording referendum-type changes and approval. It will be ratified into law on Feb. 24-2019 although the Rubio-types who dictate America's Cuban narratives and Cuban policies don't want Americans to know its the first new Cuban Constitution since 1976 and it will bear the imprint of the island's everyday majority.
If Rosy Amaro Perez is excited about the "happy day" that arrives for Cuba on Feb. 24-2019 with the new Constitution, that indeed is important. The definitive photo above shows Rosy in Santiago de Cuba on January 1st-2019 where she covered {as a key journalist} and celebrated {as a high-profile citizen} the 60th anniversary of the Cuban Revolution's victory over the U.S.-backed Batista-Mafia dictatorship. Indeed, Cuba's new Constitution that becomes effective on Feb. 24-2019 mandates major changes from the previous 1976 Constitution. The reason Rosy's excitement about it is important is this: She not only influences but also represents the views of everyday Cubans, especially the restive young-adult generation that is expecting their new President, Miguel Diaz-Canel, to survive the Trump administration in Washington and improve their lives on the island, starting with the Cuban economy that has been assaulted since 1962 by the longest and cruelest Embargo ever imposed by a powerful nation against a much-weaker nation. At the moment, Rosy and most Cubans on the island support their new President and eagerly look forward to their new Constitution that takes effect on February 24th, 2019. While the mainstream media in the U. S. is too afraid of the Counter Revolutionary Cubans in Miami and Washington to report fairly about Cuba, the state-owned Cuban media is actually more democratic in that regard than the American media. And, yes, Rosy Amaro Perez epitomizes Cuba's state-owned media. {And that opinion, I should point out, comes from me, a democracy-loving American who is ashamed that America's Cuban policies since the 1950s have been conducted with vile self-serving criminal-intent but remains a stupid, ageless, and shamefully undemocratic practice to this day}.
A key and influential News Anchor on Cubavision International television, Rosy Amaro Perez is neither afraid nor reluctant to criticize the Cuban government if she deems it is doing something that harms Cuban citizens, especially the island's children that include Rosy's own precocious 5-year-old daughter Mariana.
The photo above shows Rosy Amaro being interviewed on Cuban television by Cristina Escobar. Both are brilliant young, influential News Anchors in Cuba and both totally agree with this comment, which happens to be theirs: "Cuban journalists have more freedom to tell the truth about the U. S. than U. S. journalists have to tell the truth about Cuba." And, as you can easily confirm on YouTube and other non-Cuban venues, Rosy & Cristina subscribe strongly to another of their own quotations: "Cuba's fate should be left up to Cubans on the island, not Cubans in Miami and Washington." And if Americans disagree with Rosy and Cristina, perhaps those same Americans should get off their timid behinds and show some courageous and decent input into America's despicable Batistiano/Mafiosi-controlled Cuban policies.
As a Cuban on the island Rosy Amaro Perez is a more decent person than the Cubans off the island like Marco Rubio who hide behind the skirts of the world's Superpower to boost their bank accounts and political prowess by punishing Cubans on Rosy's vulnerable island.
In Cuba Rosy Amaro has a precious 5-year-old daughter that she has vacationed with in the major European cities and she has relatives living in Miami, Virginia, Arizona, etc. But Rosy wants her daughter to be a Cuban in Cuba...and she believes she has a right to make such decisions as a mother and as a Cuban living on their island that she believes has been a sovereign, independent nation since the Cuban Revolution chased the Batista-Mafia leaders to the U. S. way back on January 1st, 1959.
In a more decent, saner world, Rosy Amaro would prefer that the American airplanes that can fly around or over her island would be peaceful and not warlike. But she can't control what the likes of Rubio are allowed to do in the Superpower United States. But that doesn't mean that Cubans on the island, like Rosy, won't fight to preserve the Revolution whose leader died at age 90 on Nov. 26-2016.
For sure, Rosy Amaro is well aware that Cuba has a new non-Castro President and, beginning on Feb. 24-2019, will have a new Constitution for the first time since 1976. Even as Rosy keeps tuned to the Trump-Rubio plans to destroy Revolutionary Cuba, Rosy excitedly tells her television viewers that they too should be both proud and excited about: {1} The AMAZING longevity of the Cuban Revolution; and {2} the AMAZING new changes taking place in Cuba.
