Yoani Sánchez and the ZunZuneo scandal
Yoani Sánchez and the ZunZuneo scandal
April 10, 2014 Sabina Becker
So, you thought that Yoani Sánchez and her popular anti-Castro blog were all that and a bag of Doritos, did you? Well, you may want to think again. Because there is a connection between her and the dearly defunct ex-parrot that is ZunZuneo, and a real Cuban blogger, Norelys Morales Aguilera, has laid it out for us:
While US vice-president Joe Biden was talking about his meeting with his countrys Cuban-born blogger, Yoani Sánchez, the Associated Press (AP) was revealing the scandal of how the US government created a communications network designed to undermine the government of Cuba, using shell companies constituted in secret and financed by way of transactions with foreign banks, and in which the US Agency for International Development (USAID) participated: a Cuban Twitter called ZunZuneo.
CNN and other sites claimed that the meeting was to discuss topics related to freedom of expression on the Caribbean island, according to Bidens official Twitter account. With the picturesque mystery that accompanies the US blogger, no details of the meeting have been revealed. A representative of the White House, in an e-mail to HuffPost Voices, stated that I can only confirm that the Vice-President met with Yoani Sánchez, but beyond that information, there are no additional details.
The links between Yoani and the Washington-designed network have collapsed under their own weight. The AP report did not mention by name whom Washington had assigned the task of interpreting the buzz of this illegal interference operation which as cost several million dollars of taxpayers money, which the Miami Duende immediately made vanish.
The blogger has always denied any relationship between herself and the US government, or its interests section on the island, but a cable from their diplomatic seat in Havana, on November 27, 2006, spoke of a meeting in the home of a US diplomat with young Cubans, to watch and discuss a documentary about the fall of [former Serbian leader Slobodan] Milosevic and the OTPOR movement. And on top of that, in 2011, information came to light of meetings with the then US interests chief Michael Parmly, although Obama never met with the blogger.
