	DenverPost.com - Costa Rica's Arias hailed for urging U.S. to end Cuba embargo
		Matos, 80, said that Arias's message seeks to support the democratic aspirations of the Cubans on the island and, in that sense, the lifting of the embargo is an opportunity that could "lead to the changing of the economic system," which would imply "a change in the political system."
		For Matos, who was a rural teacher before joining the guerrillas and becoming one of their most charismatic leaders, the Cuban economy since the triumph of the Revolution "has always been parasitical" and a change would allow the country to resolve its basic economic problems.
		Matos denounced the fact that the Cuban economy is one that is totally dependent on subsidies: at first and "for four decades it was subsidized by the Soviets" and now, he added, it is subsidized by "the Venezuela of Hugo Chavez," a left-wing populist who fervently admires Fidel Castro.
