A survey published by our editorial team shows that the majority of participants believe that the Cuban regime could fall in 2026, amidst the regional climate following the U.S. military actions to capture Nicolás Maduro.
In response to the question —"Following the recent events in the region, do you believe that the Cuban regime could fall in 2026?"— 62% answered: "Yes, I believe the regime will fall in 2026."
Another 22% said: “Yes, but not in 2026, it will take longer”; 3% believed that “No, the regime will not fall”; and 13% marked “I am not sure.”
In dozens of user comments, expressions of both desire and skepticism prevail.
Some people stated, "What falls, falls" and "May God allow it to be soon," while others maintained that "this will collapse" only if there is a worsening of the crisis and the people take to the streets, or that "no one is going to invade" and that change would depend on internal action.
There are also opinions warning that those who expect a quick collapse “do not know the history of Cuba” or that it “will never” happen.
Another survey released this Wednesday indicates that a majority of Cubans would be in favor of the capture of Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro by U.S. forces during the military operation that ended with his arrest on January 3rd.
In the survey where CiberCuba News asked, "Do you support the capture of Nicolás Maduro by U.S. forces?", 75% of the 1,000 readers who participated voted in favor of Maduro's capture, while 25% opposed the U.S. action.
Among the responses, one stands out from Yoanys Sánchez González, who criticized the military action: “I hope the No wins. Obviously, things taken by force are never good, and moreover, the death of innocent people... I hope no one supports such barbarity.”
These debates reflect the deep divisions in Cuban public opinion regarding foreign intervention in Venezuela, a historic ally of Havana.
Some users see Maduro's capture as an act of justice against a regime seemingly linked to drug trafficking and repression, while others believe that resorting to military force is a violation of the sovereignty of nations.
The operation to capture Maduro was carried out by U.S. forces in Caracas and has generated mixed reactions in the region and around the world.
While some political sectors in the United States showed some support for the action, others warned of possible violations of international law and the risk of instability in Latin America.
