“Enough already! Cuba to the streets!”: Gerardo Hernández promotes a message against the dictatorship on his social media

Gerardo Hernández Nordelo, the former spy turned influencer of the "continuity," found himself once again caught in his own propaganda script.

This time, the "general coordinator" of the Committees for the Defense of the Revolution (CDR) posted on Facebook a comparison of posters, attempting to discredit a graffiti that appeared on the Malecón in Havana with the phrase “Enough already. Cuba to the streets”.

"Some anti-Cuban CiberMercenary media believe they are the only ones who know how to create little posters..." commented Hernández Nordelo with a sarcastic tone.

To demonstrate his capacity for “revolutionary inventiveness,” the humorous propagandist shared a false image that read: “Get out ICE! USA to the street!”, over the iconic thermometer of Miami Beach.

The incendiary graffiti, created by the movement Cuba Primero led by opposition figure Armando Labrador, was published by the independent outlet Click Cuba, which documented the activists' action. Users on social media also amplified the powerful image of protest.

However, Hernández Nordelo attempted to attribute the spread of the message to the so-called "mercenary cyber media," and in that attempt ended up turning his ridicule into an effective involuntary promotion campaign for a slogan that openly calls for Cubans to take to the streets.

The mural, visible in front of the Castillo del Morro, would be part of a wave of dissenting graphic expressions that have emerged in various provinces, such as Camagüey, Santiago de Cuba, and Villa Clara, where messages like “Homeland and Life”, “Down with Díaz-Canel”, or “Freedom now” have appeared on walls, bridges, and bus stops.

The regime has reacted with arrests and patrols, while its spokespersons try to downplay the protests as "media operations." Hernández Nordelo's response falls in line with this: nervous irony in the face of a message that challenges totalitarian power.

In his attempt to prove that the posters are “fake news”, the former spy ended up spreading a real antigovernment message and creating a crude forgery that, paradoxically, echoes the protest language he claims to combat.

Once again, his propagandistic enthusiasm backfired: instead of refuting the complaint, it amplified it on social media and turned the so-called “Cuba pa’ la calle” into a rallying cry more visible than ever.
