\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

A lawyer and a law student, both Cuban residents in Italy, request that they be sent Law No. 989\/1961. A legal provision that imposes on Cubans the definitive abandonment of their homeland, the confiscation of property as a means of nationalization, and the entry and exit permit. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Esta Ley faculta al Ministerio del Interior a otorgar y dictar las resoluciones pertinentes en cuanto a los permisos de entrada y salida de las personas que decidan viajar al extranjero. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Establece la imposici\u00f3n del abandono definitivo, que se produc\u00eda con el no regreso dentro del t\u00e9rmino por el cual ha sido autorizada la salida. Igualmente dispone, la nacionalizaci\u00f3n, por medio de la confiscaci\u00f3n a favor del Estado cubano, de todos los bienes muebles, inmuebles o de cualquier otra clase, derechos, acciones y valores de cualquier tipo, de los futuros emigrantes. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Esta ley, se adopt\u00f3 principalmente por cuestiones pol\u00edticas, aunque hay un triste intento de mostrarlo como un inter\u00e9s social. Supuestamente los bienes serian confiscados para ser puestos a disposici\u00f3n del pueblo, lo que justificaba la regulaci\u00f3n de la salida y regreso al territorio nacional, as\u00ed como el destino de los bienes abandonados. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

En esa \u00e9poca hubo un cambio en el poder pol\u00edtico, y los que no estaban de acuerdo emigraron. El hecho, a pesar de ser una decisi\u00f3n personal e individual, se consider\u00f3 como una afrenta a la patria y para la dirigencia hist\u00f3rica cubana, la patria era, y aun sigue siendo, su Revoluci\u00f3n. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Actualmente se mantiene vigente en el sistema legal, aunque el car\u00e1cter de la emigraci\u00f3n vari\u00f3 sustancialmente. No obstante, el fundamento jur\u00eddico, contin\u00faa siendo el mismo: restringir el derecho de entrada y salida de Cuba, y confiscar los bienes de las personas que deciden emigrar. Afectando otros derechos reconocidos internacionalmente como el derecho de propiedad.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

En los c\u00edrculos internos en Cuba, se dec\u00eda que como parte de las nuevas medidas de reformas emprendidas por el gobierno cubano, se derogar\u00edan la Ley No. 989\/61. <\/span><\/span>El pasado 10 de noviembre entro en vigor la normativa que permite a los futuros emigrantes disponer de sus bienes, principalmente viviendas y autom\u00f3viles, antes de salir definitivamente de la isla. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Sin embargo la ley 989\/61 continua vigente, al igual que la confiscaci\u00f3n por salida del pa\u00eds. Se derog\u00f3 \u00fanicamente la normativa que la complementaba y permit\u00eda su aplicaci\u00f3n. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

El Instituto Nacional de la Vivienda, el Ministerio de Justicia y el Ministerio del Interior, por medio de la Resoluci\u00f3n Conjunta No. 1\/2011, derogaron la resoluci\u00f3n que emitieron el 22 de agosto de 1995, que hac\u00eda efectiva la aplicaci\u00f3n de la Ley 989\/1961 y ten\u00eda como objetivo impedir que los emigrantes cubanos evitaran la confiscaci\u00f3n y dispusieran de sus bienes antes de salir del pa\u00eds.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00bfPor qu\u00e9 dejar\u00edan vigente una ley que ha perdi\u00f3 todo sentido, si con la nueva modificaciones el Estado confiscar\u00e1 la vivienda de residencia de los propietarios, que no hayan dispuestos de ella, antes de emigrar?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00bfSer\u00e1 porque impone a los cubanos el permiso de entrada y salida? Eso tampoco tiene sentido. La actual Ley de Migraci\u00f3n y su Reglamento, imponen y regulan la forma de obtener estos permisos. Tal vez sea algo simb\u00f3lico o un motivo m\u00e1s para no confiar. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
