Ignacio Ramonet: President, first of all I would like to thank you very much for your kindness in granting us this interview.
This is going to be an interview of about ten questions that we are going to divide into three blocks: one block devoted to domestic policy, to the domestic situation in Cuba; a second block on the economy, essentially the economy in Cuba, obviously; and a third block on international policy.
The first question then on domestic policy is the following:
