Days after anti-government demonstrations, President Diaz-Canel says ‘what the world is seeing of Cuba is a lie’.
Cuba’s President Miguel Diaz-Canel has denounced what he said was a false narrative over unrest on the Caribbean island, speaking alongside ex-president Raul Castro during a rally before thousands of supporters in Havana. “What the world is seeing of Cuba is a lie,” Diaz-Canel said on Saturday, denouncing the dissemination of “false images” on social networks where they “encourage and glorify the outrage and destruction of property.” Diaz-Canel’s comments come six days after historic demonstrations against the government.More Related News
