Amid the intensification of the economic crisis and the worsening of power outages, the funeral home in the town of San Antonio de Cabezas, located in the Unión de Reyes municipality of Matanzas, woke up this Wednesday to find several painted banners as a sign of protest.
"Zero blackouts and more food is the rallying cry of the people," wrote journalist Mario Pentón on Facebook, where he shared images showing how the posters covered several walls.
Pentón ironically stated, "At least we are going to force them to paint the funeral home." However, the intent of the posters as a form of public discontent, even if obscured by the regime, spreads through social media.
The photographs also clearly show the political protest message "Patria y Vida," along with a call to the public not to pay the electricity bill.
Finally, in reference to the protests that took place in several cities in Cuba last March, a strong statement is also noted: "It is the elderly who must take to the streets."
In April, another anti-government graffiti was spotted in Havana amid the widespread crisis and the increasing unpopularity of ruler Miguel Díaz-Canel.
The Cuban Institute for Freedom of Expression and Press (ICLEP) reported that the poster recently appeared in the park at the corner of Obispo Street and Aguacate.
Also in April, in the city of Santiago de Cuba, a sign with a message against the ruler appeared on the wall of a house.
According to an announcement on Facebook by independent journalist Yosmany Mayeta Labrada, the incident occurred near the central Plaza de Marte, an iconic public space in the eastern city.
