There are no guarantees in publicly standing up against anything related to the government in Cuba (religion, politics, etc...), let alone directly and publicly opposing the Castro regime and it's political strangle-hold on society.

Surely, Gutiérrez-Menoyo, must know that he alone, or under his direction alone, any effort to undertake such a campaign for democracy will not have a chance for survival. Only when all freedom-seeking individuals are united in cause and action, will there be a chance for the Cuban people to win their freedom.

Maybe Castro is having a "senior moment," or perhaps he will allow a designated opposition leader for PR purposes.

Even Bill Gates made a deal to prop up Apple by heavy investment in Apple and MS software compatible with Apple OS. As long as Apple is kept afloat, Microsoft can claim that it's not a monopoly.
