Castro Regime Needs More Snitching

Sunday, September 9, 2012
Last Friday, Raul Castro's "Vice-President" and 82-year old successor, Jose Ramon Machado Ventura, addressed the leadership of the repressive neighborhood watch Revolutionary Defense Committees (Comites de Defensa de la Revolucion, CDR).

During the gathering, Machado Ventura stressed the importance of the CDRs and urged more vigilance and snitching against peaceful activists.

"It is inconceivable for a CDR not to be vigilant, that task is indisputable," he stated.

The fact that the Castro regime is concerned that CDRs aren't being sufficiently vigilant and need more snitching against pro-democracy activists is a sign that the regime's low-level bureaucrats are no longer willing to do so.
