“We will know the name of that supposed officer soon, he will be tried in the court of the tired, hungry but dignified people who only demand their elementary rights. He will be judged by God who will take control of our nation that groans, sobs and cries out loud because of the extreme poverty in which it is living,” said Dotres.
He called the police officer a “torturer, irrational, abuser, repressor,” who “violated the human rights of the civilian population and he hit without rhyme or reason as if he were the absolute owner of the citizenship and Cuba was his farm or his backyard.”

At the same time, Dotres asked herself: “How long will there be so much violence, abuse, arrogance, and despotism? How long will the Castro-Canel dictatorship and its public servants, its only communist political party, continue pitting people against people in an irrational and legendary hatred? How long will there be so much corruption, hunger, shortages, lack of medicines, transportation, political prisoners, mass exodus, violation of human rights?”
