MÉRIDA, Mexico -. A Facebook post from the official website Cubadebate affirms that the protest in Santiago de Cuba this Sunday no longer “persists.”
By way of questions and answers, the official press post has been forced to recognize the protest and has assured that “no police have intervened.”
“They are only guarding the demonstration and talking directly with the citizens, in the exercise of duty, but allowing the demonstration to occur with total freedom,” says the post that includes some images of the demonstration.
Likewise, they acknowledge that cries of “Homeland and Life” have been heard which, they claim, have not been followed by the crowd that mostly shouted “Current and food.”
Cubadebate He describes the protest as a “popular demonstration” and attributes it to “the long hours of power cuts due to the unavailability of fuel and other situations derived from the current economic crisis.”
Likewise, it refers to the presence of the first secretary of the Party in the province, Beatriz Johnson Urrutia, and other officials. Videos spread on the networks showed the official and her entourage trying to calm the demonstration from a roof.
Finally, the official media blames independent media and anonymous profiles for calling for violence and describes the demonstration as peaceful.
Hundreds of Cubans came out to protest this Sunday on Carretera del Morro, Santiago de Cuba shouting “Current and food.”
Cuban Diary He assures that protests have also been registered in the Agüero, La Barca de Oro and El Salado districts.
Blackouts of up to more than 20 hours throughout the entire island have become the reality of Cubans in recent weeks, who are once again fed up with the ineptitude of their government to provide them with the most basic services.
