For First Time In Over Seven Months!!
This past weekend -- Nov. 14th-15th, 2020 -- Cuba reopened Jose Marti International Airport for its national airline, Cubana, and for foreign airlines. Because of strict COVID-19 restrictions Cuba's major airline had been closed for seven-and-a-half months.
Yesterday, Sunday flights from Havana included flights to Florida, Belize, Panama, and Mexico. Here are photos by photographer Roberto Suarez at the Havana airport Sunday.
Several weeks ago Cuba had reopened prime tourist spots, including Varadero Beach and Cayo Coco, with regular flights via Air Canada from both Toronto and Montreal being welcomed by the Canadian and Cuban governments.
Now that Havana has joined other Cuban airports to handle some much-needed tourism traffic, Cubans are beginning to adjust to something akin to a post-pandemic existence. Of course, the 11.2 million Cubans on the island are wildly hopeful that the now Lame Duck Trump presidency in the United States will at least begin to relax some of the Trumpian/Little Havana genocide that has targeted them for the past four years.
Yet, even as the Democrat Biden defeated the Republican Trump in this month's U. S. presidential election, extreme and influential anti-Cuban/Counter Revolutionary journalists such as Nora Gamez Torres are pressuring the Democrats not to revert back to the decent and sane Cuban policies of the Democratic Obama presidency that preceded Trump. This weekend Nora Gamez Torres' latest blistering article in the Miami Herald was entitled: "FEDERAL JUDGE GREEN LIGHTS CUBAN DOCTORS' HUMAN-TRAFFICKING LAWSUIT AGAINST HEALTH GROUP."
There are many viciously mainstream Counter Revolutionary journalists such as Nora Gamez Torres who seem to support starvation tactics against Cubans on the island while wildly supporting anything that enriches already rich Cubans in Miami and in the U. S. Congress. Of course, "lawsuits" against unrepresented Cuba fit that bill wonderfully!!! Of course, the unchecked premise implies that everything about Revolutionary Cuba since 1959 has been and is evil and, of course, the U.S.-backed and Mafia-backed Batista regime that preceded it was comprised only of saints. And since 1959, of course, the rulers in Little Havana have been and are SAINTS. Just ask Nora Gamez Torres.
