New posters with anti-government messages appeared this Tuesday in the city of Santiago de Cuba, specifically in the town of Sevilla, located on the Siboney road, amidst a growing public discontent on the island.
In the images published by independent reporter Yosmany Mayeta on Facebook, messages can be seen painted on the walls of state centers with phrases such as "Down with Canel" and "Down with communism."
Following the appearance of the posters, local residents reported the presence of police patrols in the area. The officers came to the site to inspect the graffiti and take control of the area. One of the photographs even shows a police vehicle parked in front of the spot where the message was written.
Such actions have become increasingly common in various regions of the country.
Amid prolonged blackouts, the economic crisis, and growing social unrest, some citizens choose to leave protest messages on walls, fences, or public spaces.
Posters, often created during the early hours of the morning, become a form of clandestine expression in a country where public demonstrations against the government can have legal repercussions for those who participate.
The day before, similar expressions appeared in Camagüey and Havana, where on Monday the Eloy Alfaro primary school, located on 22nd Street between 15th and 17th, was seen with its walls painted.
