A video circulating on social media shows several residents of the Havana municipality of La Lisa during a nighttime casserole protest, while shouts of "Down with the Revolution" and "Down with the dictatorship" are heard alongside the banging of pots and other kitchen utensils.

The material was shared with the message "The municipality of La Lisa protests and demands freedom, enough is enough," referring to the discontent of residents amid the ongoing crisis in the country, characterized by prolonged power outages and shortages of basic products.

The images clearly capture the slogans shouted by some participants as they bang pots and pans from the street, in a scene that reflects the discontent in that area of the Cuban capital.

On the same day, other demonstrations of discontent were also reported.

In the Havana neighborhood of Miramar, several residents held a nighttime pot-banging protest, while in Ceballos, Ciego de Ávila, neighbors took to the streets to protest.
