Dressed in olive green, the Cuban ruler Miguel Díaz-Canel appeared this Sunday at the National Defense Council (CDN) and warned Cubans that he would harshly repress any demonstration that "disturbs the civic tranquility of our people."
His threats come in the unprecedented context of a widespread blackout across Cuba, which has lasted since last Friday at noon and threatens to extend and worsen the energy insecurity that Cubans have suffered for years.
"We are not going to accept or allow anyone to act provocatively, causing vandalistic acts, and much less disturbing the peace of our community, and that is a conviction and a principle of our revolution," said the leader designated by Raúl Castro, adorned in his "hard man" attire.
His message was answered on social media by hundreds of Cubans who recalled the repression unleashed after the historic and massive protests of 11J, and who expressed all the discontent accumulated by Cuban society in the form of insults, threats, and contempt towards the ruler.
"She has already put on the killing suit," noted a user on X, referring to the ruler's threats to suppress any sign of protest, expressed from a palace hall while wearing the uniform of the Civil Defense.
"The background suspense music and the face of the singao say it all," observed another in the videos shared by the X account of the Presidency. "Psst. Nobody is invading you. Or are you just in costume for Halloween already?" asked another internet user sarcastically.
"This dictator says that he will not allow the poor people, tired of not having peace or freedom, to think about disturbing his and his political party's tranquility," said a user. "When there is a single party, the blame falls on just one," added another.
"When they finish going home from c..., all the 'temporary' problems of the island will end. You are the only and biggest problem that Cuba has, a group of inept, incapable, and thieves," said a Cuban expressing the majority sentiment of rejection among his compatriots towards the regime and its dictatorial leadership.
"He put on the costume of a big clown, but his face… ufff… it can't hide it. That is the face of a mediocre person for whom the role was too big," criticized a social media user.
"The greatest proof of ineptitude is that man disguised as a soldier. If he were one, it would be a uniform. In his case, it's a costume," reasoned another Cuban.
"Singao, how long will this last? The people did not elect you and do not want you. The Cuban people deserve to be free and want a change. It's enough of delaying the inevitable. You are incompetent individuals who have destroyed Cuba," emphasized one of the hundreds of internet users who expressed their rejection.
"Can someone explain to him that the exceptional situation has been every day for years? Also, tell him that we are very tired and that we don't want to endure any longer."
"They are so inept and manipulative that they think that just because they wear green, the problems will be solved. Understand once and for all, the problem of Cuba is you, your 'government', and your political system."
"While you spend energy on meetings that solve nothing, there are mothers crying because the food they had for their children has spoiled, some of whom have chronic illnesses and need food and medication, and it is going to waste, sons of bitches."
"They have already changed the Singao's clothes, as if that would make Guiteras start up"; "The people can't take any more"; "What he has up there is a sack of salt"; "The fundamental and most complex event is you," expressed other internet users.
