Chapeando: Red Florida
I like nothing less than starting our podcast with what is happening across the street, but today everything revolves around something that cannot be underestimated due to the weight it has in international politics.

The oldest prisoner of the Guantánamo naval base is released
Guantanamo’s longest-serving prisoner has been freed after nearly two decades in detention without charge. Saifullah Paracha, 75, was transferred to the detention center in 2004 after his capture in an FBI operation in Thailand.

A lock that denies rights
Following the same strategic design of the sixties, the current Government of the United States maintains the economic, commercial and financial blockade against Cuba.
