Orlando Gutierrez-Boronat is a spokesperson for the Cuban Democratic Directorate, who has spent decades raising awareness about the brutal reality of living under the Cuban regime, after he fled the communist island as a child.“When you look at the collapse of infrastructure that collapsed the economy, they’re killing that nation state. They’re killing the Cuban nation,” says Gutierrez-Boronat.His recent book “CUBA: The Doctrine of The Lie” exposes propaganda about Cuba and dispels common myths and misconceptions.“The regime is the platform for the expansion of Communist tyranny throughout Latin America – in Venezuela, in Nicaragua, in Bolivia, and now perhaps also in Chile and Colombia,” he says. “It’s very convenient to many powers that be – Russia, China, and others here in the United States – that the regime maintains the illusion of having been successful.”Gutierrez-Boronat has been involved in peaceful protests against Cuba throughout the world, many of which were hijacked by violent, pro-Cuban mobs. “In Panama, we were attacked by Cuban embassy thugs together with local pawns of the regime. And several of us were badly hurt. I had two ribs broken. My knee was torn. I needed reconstruction surgery on my knee,” says Gutierrez-Boronat.#CheGuevara #FidelCastro #Cuba- – -Credits:shutterstock Images: https://shutr.bz/2u8Zdp8Music: Audioblocks.com, epidemicsound.comStock Video: Videoblocks.com————————————————-© All Rights Reserved.
