Local Cuba Protests
Hundreds of natives and supporters of Cuba demonstrated in Orlando Sunday evening to protest food shortages and high prices amid the coronavirus crisis in their homeland.
This comes as thousands of people marched in Havana for arguably the largest anti-government demonstration in decades.
“We are here to support our people in Cuba,” said Nelson Perez of Orlando. “It’s time for our people to be free.”
At the demonstration in Orlando, protesters chanted “Freedom,” “Enough” and “United.” This happened as Cuba is going through its worst economic crisis in decades, along with a resurgence of coronavirus cases, the Associated Press reports.
