We are not safe. In a globalized, increasingly interconnected world, with a neoliberalism and heartland of a right-wing wave in the Americas, youth is the target of Cuba's destabilization attempts, a strategy they use. today with more strength than ever.
In such a world, principles can save us, insisted the youth of the IX Congress of the University Student Federation, which has just concluded in Havana, and among the fundamental issues that debated was political-ideological subversion , a concept that is updated as a war of symbols, unconventional, fourth generation …
They are other names for the same phenomenon: desperate attempt to convert, mainly to new generations, individuals without history without political interests, who despise or supplant their culture. Above all, that they forget that the Revolution was an event realized by young people.

The Congress also recalled the "delicious despotism," as the Spanish journalist Ignacio Ramonet called the control of spirits through the North American cultural industry, a pseudo-culture that attempts to model the likes of the world. public opinion, tastes and preferences, feelings, education, promotion, news broadcasting.
Subversion targeting young people in Cuba has a particular reference, with the opening in 2015 of World Learning, a summer program for Cuban youths organized from the United States in order to convert them in the "leaders" of a change of policy on the island.
Alejandro Sánchez, ex-legate of World Learning and student at the University of L In Havana, he explained during the congress how, once in the United States, the coordinators of the program did not not hidden that Cuban youth was an investment and insisted on the need for them to implement the projects taught to them in Cuba.
Deception does not blind us, said the boy who experienced this experience. Strengthen the preparation, maintain and defend our values and idiosyncrasies of the clbad, they must be the priorities of all. Let us stick to our principles.
