***UPDATE: "Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel has expressed his strong opposition to the recent decision by President Donald Trump to reinstate Cuba on the list of states sponsoring terrorism. In a statement on the social network X, Díaz-Canel described this action as an act of “arrogance and contempt for the truth” and stressed that the designation is “fraudulent...This act of mockery and abuse confirms the discredit of the U.S. government’s unilateral lists and coercive mechanisms,” the president said."

Lie #2: The Cuban government violently represses its people

The truth: Beatriz Johnson Urrutia, the leader of the Communist Party in the province of Santiago, personally went to the demonstration to hear the grievances of the protesters. Cuban president Miguel Díaz-Canel reacted to the protests by saying, “Amid a blockade that aims to suffocate us, we will continue … to address the demands of our people, listen, dialogue, and explain the numerous efforts being made to improve the situation.” Leaders of the government have cautioned against letting outside powers take advantage of the situation to provoke violence.

Compare that to the actions of the U.S. government. When millions protested against racism in 2020, did Trump go to the marches to hear people’s concerns? No! He ordered police and soldiers to crush the demonstrations. This is the difference between a capitalist government that serves the elite and a socialist government that serves the people.
