Mr Fariñas criticised the government in Havana, saying "Unluckily for those who misgovern us in our own homeland the fact that I cannot leave and return voluntarily to the island where I was born is, in itself, the most irrefutable witness to the fact that unfortunately, nothing has changed in the autocratic system ruling my country."
Uzrunājot Parlamentu, Guillermo Fariñas kritizēja Kubas valdību: "Fakts, ka es nevaru pamest Kubu un brīvprātīgi atgriezties salā, kur esmu dzimis, neapstrīdami apliecina, ka diemžēl nekas nav mainījies autokrātiskajā sistēmā, kas vada manu valsti."
