The official from the Cuban Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Johana Tablada de la Torre, responded strongly to the message from U.S. President Donald Trump, who had urged Havana to “make a deal before it’s too late.”
On her Facebook account, the ambassador to Mexico and deputy director for North America at MINREX wrote: “Upon reading the Sunday threat to Cuba from the head of the U.S. thug cartel, I say: Homeland or Death, We Will Overcome!”.
The publication immediately triggered a wave of coordinated reactions from profiles sympathetic to the regime, which many users are already describing as the activation of the "ciberclarias" squad—digital commentators tasked with amplifying the official narrative on social media.
In less than an hour, hundreds of messages repeated the same slogans: “#CubaIsStrong,” “#NoOneGivesUpHere,” “#HomelandOrDeathWeWillWin,” and various other variations of the Fidelista mantra.
Some users retrieved quotes from José Martí and Antonio Maceo, while others shared images featuring patriotic slogans, monuments, and flags, following the usual pattern of digital mobilization that the regime promotes whenever it senses an external threat.
The tone of Tablada de la Torre and the orchestrated reaction align with the atmosphere of political nervousness in Havana, following messages from Washington that directly blame Cuba for maintaining security and repression networks in Venezuela during the governments of Chávez and Maduro.
While Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla chose a more diplomatic response, denying that Cuba had received payments for security services, Tablada aligned himself with the more combative rhetoric of classical Castroism.
His message, accompanied by the digital chorus of loyal supporters, aimed to project an image of strength… but in the current context, it sounded more like a desperate defense than a heroic challenge.
On social media, many users sarcastically remarked, "If they activated the clarias, it's because the water is already up to their necks."
