The government of Santiago de Cuba implemented measures this Saturday on a central street called Trocha in the city, closing private businesses and deploying police in order to prevent possible acts of violence.

On June 15th, a violent fight on the famous urban street of Santiago de Cuba, which resulted in the death of a young man from Santiago, led the regime to impose restrictive measures to convey "security" to the population, as reported on Facebook by journalist Yosmany Mayeta.

This Saturday, the government of Santiago de Cuba met with owners of restaurants and cafeterias located on the famous Trocha street, which have been closed for several days by government decision," explained Mayeta.

However, he clarified that, although the government has not yet made the reopening of businesses official, this Saturday night "has deployed dozens of police officers stationed at the Monument to the Red Devil."

Although several people were informed that the officers patrolled the entire avenue "to try to give the appearance of security," neighbors also commented that the "tension" in the environment was palpable.

The deployment of police officers took place exactly one week after a violent brawl occurred on Trocha Street during a street party, in which two people were injured, one of them fatally.

Violence continues in the streets of the city, apparently two young people with serious injuries were taken to the Joaquín Castillo Duany military hospital," Mayeta reported in relation to the incident, also sharing several images.

Later, the victim was identified as Dagner Lara Villalón, who was only 18 years old at the time of death.

Dozens of people expressed their regret over the incident, which has been happening too frequently in the city, and where the main characters are usually very young.

Recently, a young man was murdered at a party in Holguín, in another incident that adds to the unstoppable wave of violence affecting the country.

It happened during a recreational activity at the social club in the Monte Feria neighborhood, in the Antilla municipality.

Days before, a massive fight broke out at a festive event at Finca de los Monos in Havana. The regime tried to distance itself from the incident by claiming it was not authorized, even though it had been promoted by state television.
