Díaz-Canel tour and repression in Cuba
Cubalex also confirmed that activist organizations such as the Ladies in White, UNPACU, MONR and Cuba Primero are the most repressed on the island.
The figures compiled by Cubalex reaffirm the crisis that the island is going through, through the social crisis, the shortage of food and medicine, as well as repression as a state policy.
Cubalex also highlights the daily difficulties faced by the Cuban population, especially in terms of access to food. Prices continue to rise, and the State does not adequately distribute basic products such as bread and milk, which directly affects the population, especially children.
An aspect highlighted by Cubalex is the president’s recent tour Miguel Diaz-Canel by several municipalities in the country. A fact that is closely linked to operations of repression and neutralization of citizen activity. During the dictator’s visits to the island, arrests and house arrests of activists were reported in different parts of the country.
