Cuban American National Foundation Calls for “A Break From the Past”
A leading group of Cuban exiles is calling for the US to expand relations with the Cuban government and help the Cuban people. According to the NYTimes:
“For 50 years we have been trying to change the Cuban government, the Cuban regime,” said the foundation’s president, Francisco J. Hernandez, a veteran of the Bay of Pigs invasion in April 1961. “At the present time, what we have to do is change the emphasis to the Cuban people – because they are going to be the ones who change things in Cuba.”
