Yoani Sanchez responds (Spanish) to winning the Best Blog at The BOBs 2008 – Deutsche Welle’s international weblog awards. Tanslation: Receiving the award for the Best Weblog in the prestigious BOBs (Best of the Blogs) contest has given me great personal joy. However, the greatest effect of this award will be felt among those in Cuba who have begun to open their own independent blogs. The Cuban and international blogosphere will celebrate my award today while Cuban television and newspapers will remain silent. One day real life will be like cyberspace, and on this Island any citizen will be able to express themselves without asking permission. This award is a new push towards accomplishing this goal.
