Honestly, it's a weird thing to define in a constitution anyway. ok so why didn't they pass a law in 2018 I’m trying to understand why they waited 5 years after party leaders said they planned to legalize it to do a referendum rather than simply pass a law and I can't find any beyond "they didn’t actually want to legalize it" which doesn't feel true but I’m not finding any alternatives indigi has issued a correction as of 15:04 on Sep 4, 2022 |

Why would a country constantly under threat of foreign intervention wait for a consensus before passing society-shifting legislation? The world may never know. Polling looks good but there’s not insignificant pushback from, for example, religious groups. From what I can tell.

Cuban governance isn't just about making a change in law and saying the issue is fixed. Stuff like the Family Code and prior to that the Constitutional reform followed a process of popular consultation. The practical reason for delaying the family code was probably to give time for a separate process specifically for family code issues.quote:The final version of the new Family Code, which will be submitted to a popular referendum on September 25, was published in the Official Gazette of the Republic No. 87, Ordinary. It's pretty clear the Cuban leadership wants to build widespread support for the code before sending it to a general vote. Look at the discussion about Chile to see how a good change in the country can still be voted down. In the context of Cuba, it's unlikely the code will be voted down, but if it only gets 51% support that's not good. The US is ready to exploit any divisions in the country. With the blockade leading to blackouts and shortages of other essentials, people in Cuba are under a lot of pressure. quote:"Intensive work has been done throughout the popular consultation on the draft Families Code, despite the difficulties the country is facing," stated Party First Secretary and President of the Republic Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez, during a May 10 meeting he held with members of the Drafting Commission, working on the text which must be an accurate reflection of Cuba’s current reality and our Constitution. Eradicating sexism and anti-LGBTQ bigotry is a long process, and Cuba is serious about it. The US legalized gay marriage and trans people are still murdered in the street. Cuba faces a similar issue with eradicating racism in the country. Cubans know a single change in laws won't make the situation perfect. The laws are part of a larger process of overcoming those deeply embedded inequalities and bigotries.

What’s up thread I just started learning español. Wanting to move to Cuba.. I’m currently in Canada, though, so seems really difficult, so I’ve made it my “long term” goal once I get more professional experience that may potentially land me a position at an international company based there. I’m open to studying abroad or moving to a different country first if it’d somehow help my chances. I’ve just learned of Cuba’s International Film School which seems like a solid program for me if I can get in there

I have basically zero hope for an Apruebo victory, but if I've learned anything in this entire cycle it's that I should dress up in full-blown clown regalia before attempting to predict anything, so I guess we'll see.

Official results aren't even out yet but vote counts from communes that were expected to be Apruebo strongholds are looking pretty poo poo. It doesn't even seem like it'll be close. I'd say that at least means I can go to bed early but I'm in a Rechazo area so I've probably got 12+ hours of ecstatic car honking to look forward to. Maybe focusing your campaign on rallying the base on a referendum where voting is mandatory is stupid as gently caress, who knows, let's try again in 30 years when we try to bring down a constitution that will probably be written by Cristian loving Warnken at this point e: lmao it's somehow even worse than "not even close". it's a total wipeout. it was all for nothing.

I lost hope of a good outcome at some point in the last couple of months, when most Apruebo supporters I'd come across appeared to become increasingly detached from reality and their paths to victory all seemed to rest on the idea of a vast pollster conspiracy out to demoralize them, and on the inexplicable belief that everyone who didn't vote in the first referendum was a surefire Apruebo vote. All along I was just praying that I'd be wrong as usual, and that polls somehow all hosed up (the left does usually outperform polls by a few points, Kast's win in the first presidential round being a major exception) and non-voters would turn out to be a wildcard. And I was wrong! the result was somehow even worse than the worst nightmare scenario predicted by the polls, and drat near every non-voter appears to have voted Rechazo.indigi posted:there was so much optimism just last year, it sucks to see that run into a brick wall now it's time for a new constitutional draft, this time with elected members sharing the work with a "panel of experts", which will be dominated by libs and the far right, so there's still time for it to get worse!

as far as i can tell it tried to do a lot of the stuff that you'd normally have normal laws do and it got cast as seriously overreaching by the opposition. combined with mandatory participation in the vote this led to a kind of frenzy of contempt combined with being associated with a not-especially-effectual government sexyblindfold pls correct if i'm wrong here

While the overreach was mentioned from time to time, it was hardly the crux of any argument except those aimed at lawyers. Rather, the Rechazo campaign often relied on that overreach in order to condemn the proposal for everything it didn't include. For example, an article of the proposal forbade people sentenced for corruption, or for crimes against humanity, from running for office. It didn't extend that prohibition to other crimes, since those restrictions are already defined by law. Soundbite: Apruebo means drug dealers, pedophiles and terrorists can run for office. Rebuttal: They can't, the law says so. Counter-rebuttal: The left is going to change the law. Hell, they're already letting them vote. Just gonna xpost from d&d for the rest: SexyBlindfold posted:I could say that the outcome was entirely a result of the grotesque disparity in funding between both camps, the Apruebo campaign being heavily decentralized, and the insane amount of disinfo being pumped into the airwaves and timelines 24/7, but those things were also present in the first referendum, the election for constitutional members, the legislative elections and the presidentials, so no, I don't think that was the entire reason.
