Demonstrators showing solidarity with Cuban protesters took to the streets of Florida this week.
Orlando area business leader Angel de la Portilla, president of Central Florida Strategies, joined Intersection to talk about what the protests mean for Florida’s Cuban community- and for him personally.
“This is a very personal time for me as I watch the poor people of Cuba demanding on the streets demanding freedom, something that has not existed in Cuba for over 62 years,” says de la Portilla, whose parents were exiled from Cuba in the 1960s.
He says social media has allowed demonstrators to communicate with each other and the rest of the world.
