A loud pot-banging protest was reported on Saturday night in Centro Habana.

"Neptuno and Hospital in Centro Habana, Havana, Cuba Right now, Saturday, March 14, 2026, the calderos are sounding," reported the Facebook account Gusano del Barrio, which shared a video of the protest.

Also, journalist Mario J. Pentón shared the video of a pot-banging protest in Alamar shouting “Turn on the power.”

This Saturday, the neighbors of Nuevo Vedado in Havana also banged their pots and pans at night to express their discontent with the regime.

“Strong cacerolazo in Nuevo Vedado, near Boyeros and Tulipán. We are all Morón right now,” reported journalist Yoani Sánchez, who shared a video where the loud ringing of pots can be heard.

Similarly, Cubans took to the streets to protest against the regime this Saturday in the town of Central Guatemala, in the municipality of Mayarí, Holguín, during a new day of protests on the island.

A video shared by activist Lara Crofts shows almost the entire town parading through the dark streets of the eastern village, banging on pots and pans.
