I am certain Jimmy Carter did not discuss this "reform" with his hosts
in Cuba, and in all likelihood he would not be interested anyway since
it contradicts the narrative chosen for him. This particular reform is
part of the real "reforms" that are taking place on the island; changes
that are designed to keep the dictatorship in power, and the Cuban
people enslaved.
In the town of Regla a little over a week ago, only a few days before
Carter's visit, a young Cuban man was arrested for counterrevolutionary
activities. His crime? Listening to seditious music.
Via Cubanet (my translation):
Detained for listening to "counterrevolutionary music"
Twenty-three year old Adrian Batista Gonzalez has been detained for
the past few days at the #13 Police Station in Regla for listening to
music by los Aldeanos and Escuadron Patriota, two Cuban hip hop groups
whose songs contain lyrics with social messages.
The young man was in his home on La Piedra street when a neighbor,
disgusted by the "counterrevolutionary" music, called the police. When
several agents of the National Revolutionary Police (PNR) arrived, they
told him to lower the music volume or turn it off since the music
provoked "a state of mind against the revolution."
Batista Gonzalez refused to comply with the police order, insisting
that he was in his house and would listen to whatever music he felt
like. An argument ensued between the young man and the police, which
ended with him being brutally beaten by the agents. According to his
family members, the young man has two fractured ribs and a badly injured
foot.
