Stunned and shaken by islandwide street protests Sunday, Cuba s communist regime sought on Monday to deflect responsibility for the causes of political dissatisfaction while Cuban Americans hoped this round of unrest will lead to a long-desired change in government. Let s hope this is finally the moment so many of us have been waiting for, said Luis Obregon of Royal Palm Beach, Florida. I m optimistic.
Obregon said he drove from his home to Miami s Little Havana on Sunday to rally in support of demonstrators in Cuba. You can only step on people for so long before they defend themselves, said Obregon, who came to the United States in 1985. People had nothing to eat, no way to lead a better life when I was there and nothing has changed. It s time for a change. Been time.
