Barrantes, who is also the historian of this nation, described the document, signed by Congress on July 11, as a “deliberate insult and aggression” in an article sent to the Costa Rican “Embrace Cuba” campaign, convened by award-winning Costa Rican journalist and former Prensa Latina correspondent Rafael Ugalde.

The political analyst lashed out, “From the socially sacrificed plain,” the approval of the anti-Cuban motion “by most spurious lawmakers from several electoral franchises that control the country’s parliament.”

The article, however, praises Costa Rican journalist Ugalde’s pro-Cuban crusade, and describes it as a “beautiful initiative, a tangible opportunity, a crystalline door to contribute with freshness and belligerence to our love for revolutionary Cuba, a follower of Marti, and loyal to the eternal ruby in the Sierra Maestra mountain range: Fidel Castro Ruz.”

Under the title “Some lines from the Costa Rican farmers consciousness in solidarity with the heroic and cultured Cuban people,” the analyst recalled the historical significance of the Cuban Revolution’s social project.

The historian praised the Cuban process for its “direct-representative-protagonist democracy, real, and effective popular power, cultural, artistic, and sports development, transformation of the agricultural sector, zero illiteracy, universal education, full right to healthcare, and prevention as a principle of universal health.”
