From Solidarity to democracy: Can Cuba Achieve freedom?As in 1980, concern about the fate of a human being and a sense of responsibility for the good of the nation, the Self-governing Trade Union „Solidarity” emerged in Poland. Over the course of time, it has become a great, massive movement of sovereignty. As in the spirit of responsibility, the Lech Walesa Institute brought to life the Polish Solidarity with Cuba program in order to express our real-life solidarity with Cuban democratic leaders and through active paying back – even partially – the debt of a nation freed from the communist shackles in the face of democracy. On the 25th anniversary of the establishemnt of the Solidarity trade union, the Lech Walesa Institute and the solidarity center Foundation organized the three-day conference „From Solidarnosc to freedom”. This initiative engaged many international and domestic milieus – at the same time as being a common endeavor undertaken in the spirit of solidarity and mutual responsibility in the struggle for human rights and freedom.

 author: Fredo Arias-King
Transiciones: La experiencia de Europa del Este by Fredo Arias-King is probably the first academic monograph in Spanish on the post-communist transitions in Eastern Europe. As author declares it is a “scholarly user’s manual” of transitions, and it is meant for the Cuban and Venezuelan reformers that will come to power one of these days soon. Now they cannot plead ignorance if they mess up their transition.
