Mediocre politicians and terrorists in networks lined up from South Florida to heat up the streets of Cuba with interventionist messages and calls for chaos.

Hours after the outbreak, Díaz-Canel declared that “several people have expressed their dissatisfaction with the situation of the electrical service and the distribution of food.This context is attempted to be taken advantage of by the enemies of the Revolution, for destabilizing purposes.”.

Once again, the Cuban regime tries to blame the United States and alleged “terrorists based” in that country as the virtual agitators of the protests.

“We will not tire of fighting against the Genocidal Blockade or explaining to the people the causes of the problems and the government's efforts to move the economy forward,” said this Monday the also first secretary of the Communist Party of Cuba (PCC), appealing to the unit with the hashtag #JuntosSomosMásFuertes.

“The people of El Cobre are holding a demonstration in front of the police station, demanding Freedom for Cuba and for the young people who were imprisoned yesterday. It's happening right now. I lived in El Cobre, I have my whole family there," said user Indira Solís on Facebook.

Faithful to the government's propaganda messages of "continuity", the prime ministerManuel Marrero Cruz He also used his social networks to replicate the victimist and accusatory discourse of the regime, which always blames the problems in Cuba on external actors and "enemies" financed by the United States.

"Multiple messages on social networks, coming from abroad, try to take advantage of this situation for destabilizing purposes. In the midst of a blockade that tries to suffocate us, we will continue working in peace to move forward, guarantee order and citizen tranquility," said Marrero Cruz.

For its part, in an intense communicative activity (ineffective due to boring and empty) of the Palace propagandists, Díaz-Canel's X account launched messages this Monday with phrases from the dictatorFidel Castro.

“There are some who believed that the Revolution was collapsing like a house of cards,” said the ruler appointed byRaul Castro to maintain the communist-style totalitarian regime implemented through violence by his older brother.
