A morte de Vilar Mendoza não devia deixar ninguém indiferente;
The death of Vilar Mendoza shouldn't let anyone indifferent;
Nem os defensores, amigos e cúmplices do regime cubano, nem aqueles que como eles vivem em sociedades totalitaristas onde o «Respeito pelos Direitos Humanos» se resume a uma expressão de conveniência diplomática.
Not even the supporters, friends and accomplices of the Cuban regime, even those who live in totalitarian societies where the «Respect for Human Rights» boils down to an expression of diplomatic convenience.
Quanto a mim, mais do que me chocar faz-me pensar;
Nas razões (na razão) profunda que leva um homem, um "sonhador da liberdade", a deixar-se morrer de fome por se sentir impotente e incapaz de outra coisa fazer, numa derradeira tentativa de alertar o mundo onde o que importa é a ganância económica e financeira (mais ou menos camuflada em encontros políticos como sucedeu recentemente com a "visita" dos nossos governantes a Luanda) e onde a hipocrisia disputa com a demagogia a "batuta" da orquestração da retórica política.
As for me, more than it shocks me it makes me think;
About the deep reasons (the reason) that takes a man, a "dreamer of freedom", to let himself die of hunder because of feeling helpless and unable of doing any other thing, in a last attempt to warn the world where what matters is the economic and financial greed (more or less camouflaged in political meetings as happened recently with the "visit" of our leaders in Luanda) and where the hypocrisy dispute with the demagoguery "baton" orchestration of political rhetoric.
Penso em Cuba, nos cubanos, resignados historicamente à chantagem daqueles que se julgam os "donos do mundo" - Os EUA.
I think of Cuba, the Cubans, historically resigned to blackmail from those who think themselves "masters of the world" - The USA.
Mas, penso também nos angolanos, nos moçambicanos, nos guineenses...e, claro, nos portugueses.
But, I think too about the angolans, the mozambicans, the guineans... and, of course, the portuguese.
Quantas mais pessoas terão de se deixar matar pelos seus ideais para que o mundo ponha, por uma vez, de parte os interesses económicos e invista na defesa dos oprimidos numa verdadeira e incondicional Defesa dos Direitos Humanos.
How many more people must let themselves die for his ideals for the world to put, for once, the economic interests away and invest in defense of the oppressed in a genuine and unconditional Defense of the Human Rights.
Estou com Vilar Mendoza como estou com todos os pensadores livres que, respeitando a liberdade dos outros se fazem, assim, respeitar também.
I am with Vilar Mendoza as I am with all the free thinkers that, respecting the freedom of others, make themselves respected.
