Caimanera en Guantánamo: más que un enclave militar

Alegoría al natalicio de José Martí en Ecured

En este afán por contribuir al perfeccionamiento humano desde Guantánamo, me complace anunciar nuestra colaboración con Raisa Martín Lobo. De su blog La Guantanamera, extrajo las primeras entregas para la FB-DG (familia de blogs Desde Guantánamo…) y les aseguro, que muchas vendrán con palabras enaltecedoras de nuestros valores y otras, retándonos a ser mejores cada día.

Esquina (caimanera)
Esquina caimanerience.

Para algunas personas, vivir en Caimanera, municipio más pequeño del país y pueblo pesquero del mismo nombre, significa estar asociado directamente a la Base Naval norteamericana que ilegalmente ocupa hace más de un siglo el gobierno de los Estados Unidos en territorio guantanamero. Sin embargo, Caimanera es más, es la primera trinchera antimperialista de Cuba.

Caminar entre sus pobladores, es presumir que por sorprendente que parezca para algunos, no temen vivir tan cerca de dicho terreno. Y esto lo confirma el espíritu de cubano convencido de sentirse más orgulloso por vivir cerca de ese pedazo de tierra amputada a la fuerza, en la entrada a ambos lados de la bahía de Guantánamo, la mayor en tamaño y la tercera con forma de bolsa más grande de nuestro planeta.

Su vegetación es amarillenta, y su clima es semidesértico, muy caliente. Es un poblado pequeño, donde el sol provoca un calor insoportable, motivo esencial para que el nivel de evaporación y las bajas lluvias del entorno, dan fe del éxito de las salinas Cerro Guayabo y Frank País, esta última definida como la de mayor producción nacional.

Caimanera tiene sus cosas buenas y malas…

adonis navarro durand (caimanera)
Adonis Navarro Durand, habitante de Caimanera.

“Siempre he vivido aquí en Caimanera, mi familia siempre ha estado acá, me comenta Adonis Navarro Durand a quien encontramos en la librería Andrés Frómeta de este municipio. Vivir aquí, como en todo lugar, tiene sus cosas buenas y también malas.

”Lo bueno, a mi juicio, es respirar el aire marino, sentir el olor a pescado, ver cerca las inmensas montañas de ese infierno blanco que es la salina, disfrutar de la felicidad de ver a nuestros niños y niñas crecer, despuntar en sus proyectos. ¿Lo malo? es el intenso calor que sentimos en este costero poblado y que cada noche, queramos o no, tenemos que compartir nuestras horas de sueño con los “vecinos” de al lado.

”Estar aquí, pegadito a la ilegal base naval, no ha influido en ningún aspecto de mi vida laboral ni personal y estoy completamente seguro de que tampoco en ninguno de los pobladores. La Revolución Cubana ha puesto aquí en Caimanera, lo que tenía que poner, en mi caso particular, me he superado profesionalmente y estoy muy orgulloso de ello.

”El cien por ciento de los caimanerenses hemos nacido y vivido con la presencia del enclave militar ahí mismo, en nuestras propias narices. Sin embargo, como otros cubanos, gozamos de todos los programas de la revolución como la salud, educación, deporte, cultura…

”Estoy orgulloso de vivir en Caimanera. Nosotros tenemos una conciencia patriótica, somos pobladores que estamos muy orgullosos de vivir aquí, de andar sus calles de tierra o pavimento, de visitar una de esas tantas casas e instituciones que se levantan del agua sobre pilotes, de caminar por la orilla de la playa, de bañarnos en ella, de convivir con los pescadores.

”Si no tuviéramos la presencia de la ilegal base naval, nuestras conquistas sociales estuvieran a un mayor nivel. Por eso siempre digo que aquí, en Caimanera, tenemos un doble bloqueo: el del gobierno de los Estados Unidos y la presencia del enclave”, concluyó Adonis.

Y es que solo conversar con sus pobladores, presupone la explicación de la estación naval de la Bahía de Guantánamo que se estableció en este espacio del municipio costero de Caimanera tras anexarse la Enmienda Platt a la Constitución cubana de 1901.

De aquí yo no me voy…

osmara calderon bell (caimanera)
Osmara Calderón Bell, habitante de Caimanera.

Osmara Calderón Bell es una mujer de 73 años que siempre ha vivido en Caimanera. El profundo amor que siente por esta tierra lo evidencia en los gestos y en sus convincentes palabras: “Yo nací en Caimanera, mi familia es de Santiago de Cuba y mis antecedentes vinieron para acá desde hace ya mucho tiempo.

”Nunca he salido de aquí, sólo cuando me fui a alfabetizar y posteriormente estudié en La Habana, pero regresé. Mi familia siempre fue muy integrada, recuerdo que pertenecíamos a una institución no gubernamental que llevaba por nombre los BoyScaut, era una organización como si fuera de exploradores, la integrábamos los jóvenes y ahí hacíamos diferentes actividades.

Osmara, quien fue además maestra voluntaria, fundadora de los CDR, la FMC, aseveró que: “Jamás he pensado irme de Caimanera, de aquí no salgo, jamás podré salir de aquí porque me ata la tierra, la sal, el olor a mar. No podría vivir en otro lugar, mis padres y mis abuelos también vivieron aquí. Yo amo demasiado este pedacito de Caimanera.

”La presencia del enclave militar aquí jamás influyó en nuestras vidas. Me gusta tanto lo cubano que el hecho de que aún estén tan cerca de nosotros, no tiene significado alguno para la gente de este pueblo a quienes nos caracteriza el amor a la Patria, el sacrificio y la lealtad a su Revolución.

”El lugar donde está la base naval es precioso, ahí estuve varias veces con mis padres de visita. Recuerdo que cuando tenía unos doce años me llevaron a una fiesta, otras veces iba de paseo en las vacaciones. Las playas son muy lindas de arena blanca y fina, son hermosos los establecimientos comerciales, sus calles, es un lindo lugar, muy lindo…

”La última vez que estuve allí fue unos días antes de la Toma de Caimanera, imagínate hace ya más de 55 años, sin embargo, lo recuerdo como si fuera hoy. Siempre le digo a mis hijos y a otros jóvenes que algún día podrán estar ahí, que podrán disfrutar de todo lo que hay en ese pedazo de Cuba que es nuestro. Ya se irán y nos dejarán lo que nos han arrebatado, de eso estoy completamente segura”, concluye Osmara.

Hoy Caimanera está lejos de ser aquel lugar que conoció muy de cerca lo que era el capitalismo. Es un pueblo que está lejos de ser aquel que se hundía en la miseria, el desempleo y el analfabetismo, infortunios erradicados con el triunfo revolucionario del 1ro de enero de 1959.

Caimanera es un municipio al cual el gobierno garantiza a todos sus ciudadanos el goce de las conquistas alcanzadas por la Revolución. Es un pueblo que crece en la medida de su historia, un pueblo que levanta su voz para tejer su propio destino y sus propias leyendas.

    cuando dices

    quiere decir q en los demas no?

    1. Hola eduardofs:-)

      Pienso que la autora expresa en el fragmento que le llama la atención, que Caimanera no está dejada a su suerte, pues la base naval le cuesta a esta provincia muchos daños económicos y en especial a los caimaneriences; por eso allí, la Revolución entre otras razones, ha tenido atenciones especiales.

      Amigo, le haré saber a la autora de su interrogante.

      Gracias por acompañarnos.

      Saludos;-)

  30. اولین رابطه جنسی تجربه ای منحصر به فرد است.
    درک این که دقیقاً چه چیزی را باید انتظار
    داشت، می تواند کمی سخت باشد.
    چه احساسی خواهید داشت، چه زمانی باید این کار را انجام دهید
    و چگونه می توانید در اولین نزدیکی جنسی
    ایمن بمانید؟

    صرف نظر از اینکه با افراد همجنس یا
    جنس مخالف رابطه جنسی داشته باشید، واژه‌های «باکرگی» و «رابطه جنسی» برای افراد مختلف معانی متفاوتی دارند.
    فرقی نمی‌کند که از کدام تعریف استفاده شود،
    خیلی از افراد از داشتن رابطه جنسی برای اولین بار احساس اضطراب می کنند.

    این نگرانی کاملاً طبیعی است، اما شایعات و داستان هایی که در بین دوستان و در اینترنت پخش می شود می تواند
    ترس های غیرضروری ایجاد کند.
    درک آنچه ممکن است در حین و بعد از
    رابطه جنسی اتفاق بیفتد می تواند به کاهش هر
    گونه نگرانی کمک کند.

    در این مقاله، ما به آنچه ممکن است
    پس از از دست دادن باکرگی اتفاق بیفتد
    (چه از نظر جسمی و چه از نظر احساسی) می
    پردازیم. همچنین به برخی از افسانه های رایج در مورد باکرگی و رابطه جنسی می پردازیم و در مورد اینکه چطور افراد می توانند
    برای اولین بار خود را به رابطه جنسی آماده کنند
    صحبت می کنیم.

  31. This is a topic that is near to my heart… Cheers!

    Where are your contact details though?

  32. Appreciate the recommendation. Will try it out.

  33. Hello my loved one! I wish to say that this article is awesome, great written and

  49. So you are trying to choose what kind of coretec blackstone oak to select?
    Maybe we might help you with a little bit primer on some
    personality differences of reclaimed wood blackstone oak coretec from the perspective of a producer like ourselves who makes a speciality of
    making wooden coretec blackstone oak from reclaimed lumber.Did you see a picture that you simply like and now you might have the bug
    that you really want that special flooring? The good news is that it may
    most likely be made for you, but before you go a protracted methods down the trail
    of selecting which floor you want and requesting a display room stuffed
    with samples, ask about some worth ranges. There’s a frequent misconception that since reclaimed wood is supposedly
    salvaged it ought to be cheaper than virgin wood floors.
    If you’re shopping for a top quality kiln dried and precision milled product, usually that’s not the case.
    The one cost financial savings can be if you happen to found
    some scraps or did some salvage work yourself, you may avoid wasting costs.
    For instance you may discover a health club ground or planks out of a barn hay loft that you
    just want to nail down in your floor. The fabric might need
    been subsequent to free, however how a lot time are
    you going to have in making it usable and pulling nails?
    Are the outcomes what you want?In this article we might
    be discussing several completely different categories of wooden blackstone oak coretec.
    Solid wood coretec blackstone oak is one board with no glued up laminations; it’s
    mainly wood board that has been sized and profiled to a sure dimension. Engineered blackstone oak coretec has
    a on the top whatever species and texture you want, and this is
    glued to a plywood backer on the bottom. Engineered continues to be all wooden however is made with multiple layers that
    are laminated for better stability and dimensional accuracy.

    Flooring that we’ll not cover listed below are
    laminates or any composite products which are sometimes not wooden fully via the plank or may be made with a photograph printed surface.
    We also won’t cowl vinyl, carpet, stone, or tile.Hardwood blackstone oak
    vinyl plank is often a generic time period that would apply to any kind of wooden blackstone oak coretec.
    Hardwood timber (oak, maple, cherry, walnut, elm, chestnut) are usually trees that had leaves which fall off in the winter.
    Softwood bushes (pine, fir) have needles that will stay on all 12 months and usually
    they produce cones. Hardwoods are normally more dense and
    extra sturdy than softwoods. In fact, there are exceptions to those generalities.
    In our product line the hardwoods value more than the softwoods.As a reoccurring theme
    on this article one can find that you typically get what you pay for.
    Admittedly, the higher end worth level merchandise ($eleven+/sf) from
    more uncommon woods will not be essentially better quality however we find that up to that time high quality improves with
    price. Our stable wood floors vary in worth from $4-9 per sq.
    foot and our engineered ranges from $7-15 per square foot.
    We’ll focus on purposes under, but our level is that it’s worthwhile to have
    a realistic funds when shopping. Typically a pleasant different if you have your coronary heart set on an costly
    flooring is to make use of less of it and put
    it just in key areas. Don’t do the entire house.
    Perhaps just do the main high visitors areas and use a cheaper various in bedrooms..In case your price-level just isn’t even in the
    same zip code, possibly it is in a distinct state, start procuring different options.

    For example if you are in the $1-2/sf vary look at the deep discounters or laminate options.
    The FSC licensed 12mm exterior birch plywood that we use to manufacturer the engineered blackstone oak vinyl plank costs us that a lot alone,
    not counting all the opposite labor and materials.
    Also when pricing a floor make sure you think about the entire installed cost and the
    lifetime cost. Listed here are examples of some variables that might alter the whole prices:With reclaimed
    material waste factor is a large variable. How much effort does the manufacturer take
    to provide you a one hundred% usable product? Poorly milled with very little
    defecting and culling done on a stable wooden floor that prices $6/sf and has a 15% waste issue actually costs greater than a
    similar product that is milled better costing $7/sf with a 2% waste factor.
    That extra wastes prices extra in shipping
    and labor to defect. This is likely one of the hardest
    things to display to a buyer that the face
    worth prices does not necessarily signify the
    actual raw materials value except one is actually evaluating identical high
    quality and specified products.For the second variable here is a controversial opinion: we don’t end match our coretec blackstone oak which suggests there is no such thing as
    a tongue and groove on the ends of the planks. Since we advocate our ground
    be glued down we are saying this is an unnecessary expense for the customer.

    Finish matching reduces the yield in production and raises labor costs.
    Most finish match profiles are milled so loosely that they really don’t maintain the floor in place anyway.
    The largest benefit to the installer is that the plank can be lower in half in anyplace and reused anywhere with
    out need to mate as much as a complementary tongue or groove because the end is just
    square cut. This means all end trim items or any waste can be
    reused. Subsequently on our engineered coretec blackstone oak product the waste factor is just about nothing except there are angles or radiuses to work around.
    We additionally help with waste factor by usually supplying a random width product so when one will get close to the end
    of a room they will plan the width mixture patterns out to not have to tear much off the final row.The third variable is installation costs.
