Posters challenging the regime appeared this Saturday in Boyeros and Jaimanitas, Havana, amid the excitement generated by Trump's recent statements.
The posters, signed with the initials CDPC and attributed to the opposition organization Camino a la Democracia Pacífica de Cuba (CDPC), contain slogans against communism, tyranny, and messages of support for Trump.
“ We trust in Donald Trump, Marco Rubio, and Mike Hammer,” reads a sign that appeared on a wall in Boyeros, in images shared by Yamila La Hija de Maceo's X account.
For his part, journalist Mario J. Pentón was able to confirm several placards also with slogans against the regime such as “Down with tyranny” in the town of Jaimanitas, at the far west of Havana.
Cubans continue to express their dissatisfaction with the regime through signs all over the island, stated the communicator, who shared a video of a neighbor claiming that the people "woke up fired up," with signs in various places.
On Friday, the President of the United States, Donald Trump, stated that his administration will initiate a “friendly and controlled takeover” of Cuba, in comments attributed to an exchange with journalists at the White House.
The expression has not yet been accompanied by an official document, decree, or detailed plan that explains its specific scope, but the president used that phrase when referring to the approach his administration would take regarding the island.
Trump made the comment during an exchange with reporters at the White House. In that context, he described Cuba as "a failed nation," claimed that the Cuban government "is talking" with the United States, and stated that it is facing "a very serious situation."
He also stated that "they want our help" and that Secretary of State Marco Rubio, "is handling it at the highest level", confirming that there are ongoing contacts.
