But what Cubans are enduring today is part of our own European history. Who better than Europeans, who brought communism to life, exported it to the world, and then paid dearly for it over many decades, know better about the torments inflicted upon the Cuban people?
很显然，许多欧洲人认为古巴是一个遥远的国家，它的命运不需要他们关心，因为他们有自己的问题。但是古巴人民今天遭受的一切是我们欧洲人历史的一部分。欧洲人赋予了共产主义生命力，将它传播到世界各国，在几十年的时间内为之付出了巨大的代价，谁还能够比欧洲人更懂得古巴人民遭受的痛苦和折磨呢？
