Cuba is one of those arenas. The island is enduring one of the deepest crises of its modern history\u2014not only economic, but also institutional, social, and spiritual\u2014and it faces it without a clear horizon of renewal. Yet precisely for that reason, this is the moment for the European Union to pursue an active, responsible, and forward-looking policy toward Cuba.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"861\" data-end=\"1577\">My analysis, <a href=\"https:\/\/cubaproxima.org\/el-tiempo-de-encontrarnos-cuba-ante-la-urgencia-de-una-concertacion-nacional\/\"><em data-start=\"874\" data-end=\"941\">The Time to Meet: Cuba and the Urgency of a National Concertation<\/em><\/a>, published by the Center for the Study of the Rule of Law \u201cCuba Pr\u00f3xima\u201d, begins from a simple yet demanding conviction: Cuba cannot rebuild itself alone, but no one can rebuild Cuba in its stead. The country must rediscover itself, bringing together all its living forces\u2014state, social, civic, and cultural\u2014into a process of national concertation that restores citizen sovereignty. Such concertation will not be possible through external impositions, nor through the persistence of internal paralysis. It requires responsible interlocutors and intelligent international support. That is where Europe\u2019s opportunity\u2014and its duty\u2014lies.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1579\" data-end=\"1963\">Europe has shown, in its recent history, a singular capacity to accompany processes of political transition and institutional reconstruction: from Central and Eastern Europe in the 1990s to various experiences in Africa and Latin America. That vocation for transformative cooperation, grounded in respect and democratic values, is precisely what is needed today in relation to Cuba.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1965\" data-end=\"2321\">The greatest temptation, however, would be to wait \u201cuntil everything changes\u201d before offering a helping hand. Such passive waiting would, in effect, mean allowing Cuba\u2019s crisis to deepen to the point of irreversible fracture: social disintegration, an escalating migratory exodus, further loss of human capital, and the total erosion of collective trust.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2323\" data-end=\"2692\">Europe cannot\u2014and must not\u2014remain silent. Acting <em data-start=\"2372\" data-end=\"2380\">before<\/em> the transition, not after, is what distinguishes a farsighted policy from a reactive one. The European Union possesses the instruments, legitimacy, and experience to promote a new dynamic toward Cuba, provided it chooses to do so out of responsibility, not calculation. Four lines of action would be decisive:<\/p>\n<ol data-start=\"2694\" data-end=\"3683\">\n<li data-start=\"2694\" data-end=\"2949\">\n<p data-start=\"2697\" data-end=\"2949\"><strong data-start=\"2697\" data-end=\"2742\">Promote social well-being and coexistence<\/strong>, prioritizing the sectors most affected by the crisis\u2014children, the elderly, rural communities, and families fractured by migration. Investing in social cohesion is also an investment in future stability.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"2951\" data-end=\"3168\">\n<p data-start=\"2954\" data-end=\"3168\"><strong data-start=\"2954\" data-end=\"3003\">Encourage investment and economic cooperation<\/strong> that strengthen private initiative, domestic production, and decent employment. A European policy toward Cuba should bet on real development, not mere assistance.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"3170\" data-end=\"3439\">\n<p data-start=\"3173\" data-end=\"3439\"><strong data-start=\"3173\" data-end=\"3207\">Reinforce strategic capacities<\/strong> through training, innovation, and knowledge transfer in key areas: public management, entrepreneurship, social rights, and local governance. Technical cooperation can be a discreet but effective pathway toward political openness.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"3441\" data-end=\"3683\">\n<p data-start=\"3444\" data-end=\"3683\"><strong data-start=\"3444\" data-end=\"3503\">Establish a two-way political and humanitarian dialogue<\/strong> involving both the Cuban State and civil society\u2014academics, churches, local communities, and professional associations. Only a plural dialogue can generate legitimacy and trust.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p data-start=\"3685\" data-end=\"3852\">These lines do not replace Cubans\u2019 own responsibility, but they would help create the political and moral environment in which national concertation might take root.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3854\" data-end=\"4299\">Cuba\u2019s particular challenge is that the crisis of the State has not been accompanied by a proportional strengthening of alternative political forces. Both government and opposition suffer from exhaustion, fragmentation, and a lack of legitimacy. Yet Cuban society\u2014in its diversity, both on and off the island\u2014retains a latent political potential. That potential can become a transformative force if it succeeds in articulating a common agenda.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4301\" data-end=\"4568\">Europe can play a catalytic role\u2014not by imposing a formula, but by offering a space for recognition, training, and accompaniment. That discreet yet sustained action can help Cuban citizens transform discontent into purpose, and necessity into shared responsibility.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4570\" data-end=\"4887\">The Cuban question should not be understood merely as a Latin American or humanitarian issue. It is also a European one, in the most political sense of the term. Cuba has long been a moral and cultural point of reference for the West. To abandon it to its fate would be both a strategic and an ethical renunciation.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4889\" data-end=\"5369\">The European Union possesses diplomatic, financial, and cultural tools that could contribute to the emergence of a new Cuban social contract\u2014if they are employed with vision. The goal is not to substitute the Cuban people, but to anticipate the cooperation that every transition will inevitably require: to support coexistence, sustain the social fabric, open paths for responsible investment, promote a humanistic economy, and accompany the creation of legitimate institutions.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"5371\" data-end=\"5599\">Cuba does not need spectators; it needs lucid interlocutors. Europe cannot wait for \u201cthe day after.\u201d Cuba\u2019s political time\u2014the time of concertation, of national reencounter\u2014has already begun, though still without visible form.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"5601\" data-end=\"5951\">Europe\u2019s greatest contribution will be to understand that engaging <em data-start=\"5668\" data-end=\"5676\">before<\/em> the transition does not compromise its political standing\u2014it strengthens its political and moral coherence. Recent history shows that the most successful transitions were those in which the international community knew how to act in time, not when it was already too late.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"5953\" data-end=\"6091\">Cuba deserves that opportunity. And Europe\u2014if it wishes to remain a reference of civilization, not merely of commerce\u2014must offer it now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Roberto Veiga Gonz\u00e1lez
