Telesur’s impact in Cuba

Foreign journalists, two opponents of the government and a Cuban intellectual, opine about the impact that the television station Telesur is having on the Cuban population.

You cannot be define it as imperialist, says Fernando Ravsberg, of the BBC World; the information is sometimes quite manipulated, says former political prisoner Espinosa Chepe; for intellectual Aurelio Alonso, it forces competition; it has very specific goals and is very ideological, but anyway presents various criteria that otherwise would not reach the public, says Miriam Leyva, founder of the Ladies in White; and Gerardo Arreola, a correspondent for the Mexican newspaper La Jornada, says that it may have consequences in the near future.

These interventions are flashes of much deeper discussions that we invite you to watch in this video produced by Radio Progreso Alternativa on the web. The almost 5 minute 47 second video was produced by Cuban journalist Leonel Gonzalez.
