I've visited Cuba twice and enjoyed it. I recall the very poor love the Castros, but the rest, who are not directly benefiting from close association with the regime, would like more freedom. Two things that impressed me were the high level of education and the public health service, which now appears to be failing. But I guess all authoritarian planned economies are eventually doomed to alter or crash...

The USA government narrative is that this is a Covid demo, but some know better.
The new Kamala Harris admin are as communist as Cuba, so they won't want the dictatorship undermining.
Biden is a puppet. Never has been making the decisions.

Maybe not so Barry , Biden stands with the Cuban people ( how close is another matter )

Cuba protests: Thousands rally against government as economy struggles
Published4 hours ago

Thousands of Cubans have joined the biggest protests for decades against the island's Communist government.

They marched in cities including the capital Havana, shouting, "Down with the dictatorship!".

Images on social media showed what appear to be security forces detaining and beating some of the protesters.

Cubans have been angered by the collapse of the economy, as well as by restrictions on civil liberties and the authorities' handling of the pandemic.
