Yordenis Ugás supports massive protests: "Cuba is dying and its people are dying with it"

Like many Cubans in exile, the boxerYordenis Ugás showed his support for themassive protests that began on March 17 in several cities on the island.

Impacted by thecries of “we are hungry”that were heard in the streets of Santiago de Cuba, the boxer shared on his Instagram: “You have to be very desperate, tired and completely stubborn to go out and shout something like that. I always say we need 15 days from July 11th nationwide. It is the only way to have a change and for millions who live in misery, in dishonor and without any kind of hope to have a change and a better and, above all, dignified life.”

“People can't take it anymore. Cuba is dying and its people are dying with it. And remember there are no miracles. The only miracle is that the oppressed people want to seek their freedom,” added Ugás, also remembering the thousands of Cubans who have had to leave their country to seek a better future.

In another publication on his profile he published images of theprotests in Bayamo: “It can be today, tomorrow or the day after, but 65 years is enough, any day that ends.Change and the fight for that change are inevitable. Countries never die. So Cuba is not going to die, its people are going to die, our people. And dying is living a nightmare, without dreams, without hope, with blackouts, without freedoms. It is instead of living, surviving each day. It is not possible to live without rebelling in the face of so much humiliation and indignation.”

Since Cubans took to the streets on Sunday to demand food and electricity with cries of freedom and “Homeland and Life”, many artists on the networksThey have joined the people's demand demanding the end of the dictatorship.
