Biography

His family settled in the United States from Cuba in 1971 seeking freedom. In 1990, he co-founded Cuban American NGO, Directorio Democratico Cubano[5] "Directorio" seeking human rights and democratic change in Cuba. In 2005, Gutierrez-Boronat launched Radio República,[6] [7] a radio station offering uncensored news and information to Cubans on the island that transmits every day via shortwave, and also through AM frequencies and social media.[8] Radio República recently launched a podcast driven website allowing for programming to be downloaded and heard world-wide. The DDC receives funding from [NED].[9] [10] The NED funds also went toward the Directorio’s Radio Republica operation.

Gutierrez-Boronat holds a PhD in the Philosophy of International Relations from the University of Miami (2005),[11] and a Master’s degree in Political Science (2001)[12] and undergraduate degrees in Communications and Political Science from Florida International University.[13]

Dr. Gutierrez Boronat has served as an international diplomat for the cause of a Free Cuba. In the past few years, he has met with President Donald J. Trump[14] and Vice President Mike Pence of the United States; with President Jair Bolsonaro of Brazil;[15] with President Tsai-ing wen of the Republic of China (Taiwan);[16] with the Foreign Ministers of Costa Rica,[17] Chile,[18] and Peru;[19] and with members of Congress of the United States[20] and several Latin American countries.[21]

In October 2020, he organized the Anti-Communist and Anti-Socialist Caravan and Seminar in Miami, Florida, that according to observers drew about 30,000 vehicles and thousands of participants.[22] [23]

Dr. Gutierrez-Boronat has been instrumental in the creation of the Justice Cuba Commission,[24] composed of human rights experts from ten countries, which has investigated crimes against humanity of the Cuban government against the Cuban population, as well as in other nations.[25] [26] [27] The Justice Cuba Commission advocates for an international tribunal to try these crimes.

Gutierrez-Boronat signed the Madrid Charter, a document drafted by the conservative Spanish political party Vox that describes left-wing groups as enemies of Ibero-America involved in a "criminal project" that are "under the umbrella of the Cuban regime".[28]
