Antonio López Sánchez brings to the fore the change, the return, that money that he often owes when paying for a purchase, and that for a long time is a source of debate and even escarnio

From Samuel Feijóo’s ledger, Cuban Mythology, where countless stories are collected, we offer some of his reflections and a couple of examples of Cuban myths

Cuba needs good teachers. But as the author of this article rightly says, “I hope that all bureaucrats who are linked to education on this earth will just realize that solving our problems is not found in hollow slogans and expressions; it’s about creating, that doesn’t exist, a body of missionary teachers and not docile repeaters.”

With regard to the celebration by some Cubans of the Halloween festival just a few weeks ago, Word New proposes this reflection that, from the social, invites us to think about the need that we have as a people to preserve and rescue our traditions. However, as the author rightly says: “[…] joy, family communion, the right to celebrate whatever we want as long as it does not harm and respect one’s neighbour, are values that a truly humanist project should promote and applaud.”

As is customary for readers of Palabra Nueva, journalist Antonio López Sánchez tells and reflects on topics of daily life. This time it offers an analysis of something that affects almost everyone: television programming and productions and their inefficiencies.
