President of Cuba affirms the streets belong to the revolutionaries



Havana, Jul 11 ​​ (Prensa Latina) The president of Cuba, Miguel Díaz-Canel, affirmed today that the streets of the country belong to revolutionaries and assured that the government has all the will to dialogue about the true causes of the national situation.

In a television appearance, the first secretary of the Communist Party of Cuba (PCC) referred to an incident that occurred this Sunday in San Antonio de los Baños, in the western province of Artemisa, which he visited today with other authorities to exchange views with the population about their dissatisfactions.

He commented that in that territory a group of people went out to the city park moved or confused by the campaigns that are generated in social networks to provoke destabilization.
He added that together with other leaders, he went there to learn about the situation and concerns of the residents, and to march through the streets to show that they belonged to revolutionaries.

Those who encourage these demonstrations do not want the well-being of the people, but the privatization of health and education, neoliberalism, declared Díaz-Canel, noting that inciting this type of disorder in the exceptional circumstances of the pandemic is cruelty.

We are not going to allow any sold-out counterrevolutionary who receives money from US agencies to cause destabilization in the country, the president emphasized.

At the same time, he called to take to the streets in defense of the Revolution wherever they try this type of action and to confront them with decision, firmness and courage.
