He was a recent graduate in nuclear chemistry who loved his work in a nuclear research institute. This meeting was very special. A man who worked at the institute decided to stand up and voice a number of issues that he believed needed to change in the country. This man started saying that the president of Cuba needed to be changed because he had been in power for many years despite the many mistakes he had made. If we know how totalitarian governments work, we can understand the reaction of those who chaired the meeting. They wanted to immediately punish this man because he had offended the leader of our country. Everyone was afraid to stand up for this man because they knew they could lose their jobs. At that moment, my father left all his fears behind and decided to protest what he saw as injustice. My father explained that it was not fair to punish someone just because he expressed his opinion, even if that opinion was false, it was also necessary to admit that the man had chosen the right place to make his assertions . What was the value of these meetings if people weren't allowed to speak?
