New Brazilian President will offer asylum to Cuban doctors he describes as Castro regime "slave labor'
Silvio Cantu:
It is ironic that the left has attacked Bolsonara as a right-wing nationalist. Instead, he is freeing Cuban slaves.
For years, Cuba has sent doctors to Brazil. It started in 2013 under an agreement between the Castro regime and Brazil's leftist government. The doctors were sent to poor areas. In reality, it was just another source of hard currency for the Cuban government.Bolsonaro would also allow the Cuban doctors to bring their family. What Cuba is doing is not all that different from the slave labor provided by North Korea to other countries. It is another aspect of the evils of communism.
Brazil's President-Elect Bolsonaro wants to change the arrangement, and Cuba does not like it.
...
This is the news report from The Guardian:
Mr Bolsonaro said Brazil would offer asylum to Cuban doctors who wished to stay in Brazil.It makes a lot of sense and is long overdue. It's nice to hear an international leader call out this sham.
"This is slave labour," he said. "I couldn't be an accomplice of that."
It was never a program to provide medical services to poor people. It was another way of bringing hard currency to the Cuban government.
Cuba is balking because the salaries will be paid to the doctors, not the government.
