“In an unprecedented display of anger and frustration, thousands of people took to the streets Sunday in cities and towns across Cuba, including Havana, to call for the end of the decades-old dictatorship and demand food and vaccines, as shortages of basic necessities have reached crisis proportions and COVID-19 cases have soared.
From the Malecón, Havana’s famous seawall near the old city, to small towns in Artemisa province and Palma Soriano, the second-largest city in Santiago de Cuba province, videos live-streamed on Facebook showed thousands of people walking and riding bikes and motorcycles along streets while chanting “Freedom!” “Down with Communism!” and “Patria y Vida” — Homeland and Life — which has become a battle cry among activists after a viral music video turned the revolutionary slogan “Homeland or Death” on its head.
“We are not afraid!” chanted Samantha Regalado while she recorded hundreds of people walking along a narrow street in Palma Soriano.” Miami Herald
Comment: Thus far, the Marxist dominated Biden Administration has said little about the unrest in Cuba. Rather than seeking to encourage Cuban desire for freedom, the Bidenistas seem to be standing by their ideological brethren in the Cuban communist government. pl

The NYT, has labled freedom “anti-government”. I see the Miami Herald has just the right points:
” Cuba decided to make its own COVID-19 vaccine and didn’t seek to buy shots from other countries…..COVID-19 cases in Cuba soared to a record … on Friday… while deaths reached 28″ So much for the great socialist medical system. Any comment from Bernie? Bernie? AOC?
Where are Samantha Power, Susan Rice and the rest of the “Right to Protect” wing of the color revolutionaries?
“Julie Chung, the State Department’s Acting Assistant Secretary for the Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs….” “We are deeply concerned by “calls to combat” in #Cuba,” she wrote on Twitter…. “We call for calm and condemn any violence.”
Wow, an acting assistant secretary. Great leadership Joe and Kamala, great leadership. Of course the greatest danger here is Covid 19 –
Freedom Variant.
Cuba Libre!
Had Biden picked Cuba-sympathizer Karen Bass last year as VP, I think the Dems would have had no problem sending reinforcement helping fellow communists suppress protesters!
I would assume that the State Dep’s Western Hemispheres desk is currently “pre-occupied” with the aftermath of the assassination of Haiti’s President by rogue actors. I mean two major developments in a row in about a week? What is happening in the Caribbean?
The protest will be crushed, the Bidenistas will do nothing.
Cuba is what they want America to become.
But, why now?
What I read is that Cuba´s government just rejected a deal with Covax fund…
From the news that I’ve seen these protests were triggered by the draconian lockdown imposed by the regime.
