Demonstrators expressing solidarity with Cuban protesters shut down a stretch of a Florida expressway. Cubans took to the streets on Sunday to protest high prices and food shortages.

The large group gathered at a busy Miami intersection chanting support for the Cubans, who had taken to the streets in the communist nation Sunday to air grievances about poor economic conditions and other complaints.

Elsewhere, Florida’s Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis held a round table with elected officials, including members of Congress. The gathering at Miami’s American Museum of the Cuban Diaspora was closed to reporters, but the governor later asserted that protests in Cuba were more than just about shortages of vaccines, food and other basic items.

“These are people that are rebelling against a communist dictatorship,” the governor said. He said the demonstrations in Miami were “fundamentally different than what we saw last summer.” In Miami, Cuban social media personalities posted Monday that they would make the 10-hour boat ride to Cuba to show support after rare street protests broke out over the weekend, the Miami Herald. The influencers said they would bring aid — and guns — and urged people in Miami to offer up their boats.

Let the Cubans be free, stop the embargo

Cubans want freedom from communism. That’s it. is lying to you. Let them know how much you don’t like it.

you might want to revamp your narrative. This has zero to do with food prices. What the hell has happen to the media in this country?

If that were BLM protesters they would have been tear gassed

CUBAN'S ARE THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN FAITH AND FIX THEIR PROBLEM THE GOVERMENT HAVE SUPPORT BUT NOT THE PEOPLE IS VERY DELICATE TO INTERFIER IN OTHER COUNTRY.

FAKE NEWS. They are protesting against the communist regime.

They are still butthurt Castro took away their slaves. Boohoo. Newsflash: Cubans are protesting the US embargo, not their own government. They are flying the flag of the revolution.

Another proof that human governments do not care about people but power. Worst of all, it's people's insistence in putting their trust in them. People want these governments to carry on their repression.

They’re protesting Communism!

Cuban president defiant, blames embargo after protestsA defiant Cuban president lashed out at the U.S. embargo against Cuba on Monday in response to rare protests across the country over the lack of food, fuel, medicine and other goods during the pandemic. The Cuban government is responsible for its people. The Cuban government is more interested in using its peoples scarce resources to build luxury hotels where Cuban people ironically cannot afford to be. Their government is totally corrupt - I wish the people of Cuba freedom. I don’t understand how the US was able to keep Guantanamo Bay for 120 years. It makes no sense that they have this strict embargo on this country but they still have a prison in the country. Take the embargo off and the American tourists will have influence on the country socialism / communism is MISERY.

Biden says U.S. stands with Cuban protesters after historic weekend demonstrationsPresident Biden voices support for the protesters in Cuba, a day after thousands of people took to the streets in historic anti-government demonstrations. Translation: The CIA came with a bag of money to PAY dissidents to foment discontent with the current govt, which happens to be one of the most defiant in the western hemisphere when it comes to US hegemony. It's paint by the numbers at this point. Self proclaimed anty Cuban contractor for destruction should have to recap the history of his predecessors and it will be not a happy memory. Even the anti-Democrat values is able to report on the Cuban protests. The Canadian Socialist Broadcasting Company (The CBC) will avoid anything to counter their socialist agenda. It is scary how poorly the CBC informs Canadians. CBCPolitics CubaLibre Canada
