Cubanet, Manuel Alberto Morejon, Havana, 12 August 2015 – Haughtiness is
sense of superiority that could cause one to be distant and contemptuous
towards others, and even incite hatred.
Attorney Mariela Castro Espin, director of the National Center for Sex
Education (Cenesex), deputy to the National Assembly of People's Power
and the eldest daughter of General President Raul Castro, in an
interview with ABC about the Cuban opposition said, "They are little
groups of ignoramuses who say things and travel all over the place."

The current dissidence in Cuba is a segment of society, no longer as
unpopular as in prior decades, who peacefully oppose the dictatorship
established by Fidel Castro since 1959. While they do indeed think
differently this should not be a reason for them to be discriminated
against, much less is it a crime, and Attorney Mariela's expression is
not in accord with the political position she occupies in the national
assembly, nor with our Constitution, which speaks in Chapter IV about
EQUALITY:

ARTICLE 41. All citizens have equal rights and are subject to equal duties.

ARTICLE 42. Discrimination because of race, skin color, sex, national
origin, religious beliefs and any other offense against human dignity is
prohibited and punishable by law.

In a country with the Rule of Law Attorney Castro Espin could be subject
to sanctions for violating Article 42 of the Constitution.
