“Sí se puede,” President Obama told the Cuban people Tuesday in a nationwide address that promised a new beginning and a bright future together.
The speech was like nothing Cubans here have heard in many years.
He called on the government to unleash the “full potential” of Cuban ingenuity and youth by opening its doors to free expression and communication.
Later, Obama met at the U.S. Embassy with 13 of the most prominent political dissidents on the island, including José Daniel Ferrer and Elizardo Sanchez, who favor normalization, and Antonio Rodiles and Berta Soler, who have said the United States has reached out to Cuba but gotten nothing in return.
“In spite of the criticism, and I’ve been one of his critics, it was a very good meeting. Very honest,” said Gullermo Farinas, winner of the Sakharov Prize for human rights.
Obama’s last event in Cuba was an exhibition baseball game between the Cuban national team and the Tampa Bay Rays. The motorcade to the packed Latin America Stadium provided the clearest indications of how enthusiastic Cubans were about the visit. Thousands lined the route, waving and snapping pictures as he passed by.
