CASTRO: ENVIRONMENTAL TREND SETTER


It's no wonder Spain is resisting European efforts to secure greater human rights for Cubans:

Spain - a colonial power in Cuba until 1898 - is bidding for new oil contracts in Cuban waters. But its position also reflects the ideology of some left-wing European politicians, who see the island as having bravely resisted a US trade embargo while developing healthcare and progressive environmental reforms.

One thing lefties have in common? Destroying the economy is a progressive environmental reform.
