The city of Camagüey woke up this Tuesday with a protest message on Cristo Street, between Santa Catalina and Bembeta, where the phrase "Down with communism" appeared painted, a strong expression of discontent towards the Cuban regime and its leaders.

According to a Facebook post from the profile "ElMatero Cubano Uy," the message was written in the early morning, right on Santa Catalina Street, and the user joked that it was part of the series "Pinta tu pedacito."

This is not the first time in recent months that phrases against the ruler Miguel Díaz-Canel and his entourage have emerged, who have plunged an entire people, weary of crises and unfulfilled promises, into poverty.

In March, a massive banner appeared in Matanzas following the intense day of protests on Sunday, March 17. “Díaz-Canel singao” could be seen from hundreds of meters away.

A photo sent to CiberCuba by an anonymous contributor showed the enormous phrase on the wall of the popular Playa del Tenis at the city's viaduct.

The incident occurred in the early hours of Monday, just hours after a large protest was confirmed in the town of Cárdenas, where local residents took to the streets with pot-banging, joining the demonstrations that were occurring at that time in various locations across the island.

However, three days earlier, there were already reports of others appearing in areas of Havana and Artemisa, even while there were reports of militarization on the streets.

Images posted by Periódico Cubano show the wall of a house where the phrase "Patria y Cambio C13" was written. These graffiti appeared in La Víbora, a neighborhood in the Diez de Octubre municipality of Havana.

Tension also escalated in San Antonio de Los Baños, Artemisa province, following a day filled with anti-government posters pasted on several utility poles.

The flyers stated "Day Zero" and urged to "free the homeland from those who have it plunged into misery."

Others stated that "Cuba Primero is a national movement for a free tomorrow where we will build a prosperous future with everyone and for the good of all."
