Manuel Cuesta MorúaManuel Cuesta Morúa is the secretary general of the Socialist Democratic Current, a dissident movement in Cuba, and calls himself an anthropologist, philosopher, and historian. Cuesta Morúa is said to be a descendant of Martín Morúa Delgado, an Afrocuban leader after whom was named the Ley Morúa, which outlawed the Independents of Color. It should be noted that some observers, including Eugene Godfried, have called for a re-evaluation of Morúa's role. He is best known for having drafted the Ley Morúa, but he was also very active in other spheres. Cuesta Morúa is a frequent visitor to the American Interest Section in Havana. If he is receiving money, he would have to be very careful, as that is illegal in Cuba, like receiving money from Iran or North Korea would be in the US. |

Eelcano: "The aim of this Working Paper is to provide some conclusions
and practical recommendations regarding possible policies to be implemented by
governments interested in favouring -as third parties- the success of a gradual
democratic transformation of the Cuban regime on the basis of an agreed and
non-violent process."
ENTREVISTA
A MANUEL CUESTA MORÚA: 2007-4-23 4/23/2007 Fundación por
la Libertad de Expresión: "Manuel Cuesta Morúa es el portavoz de
Arco Progresista, historiador, escritor, analista político, es un agudo
observador de la realidad cubana que ofrece una visión distinta que la mayoría
de las más destacadas voces de la oposición cubana."

Simple
questions for a Cuban socialist 7/25/2000 Miami Herald: "Describing
himself as an Afro-Cuban (unlike most of his black countrymen who stress
nationality above race), Cuesta Morua modestly calls the Current "a small
group of dissidents.'' One must need an admirable equilibrium to survive in
communist Cuba as a dissident socialist."
Who
speaks for the Cuban people? 7/18/2000 Washington Times: "I
speak as an Afro-Cuban dissident who lives on the island. I am not some
pro-government sycophant. I was fired from my job in 1991 because of my views,
and it is only after four years of effort that I have now been allowed to travel
abroad — for the first time in my life. I work closely with human rights
activists and with other dissidents in Cuba."
