DISINFO: Protests in Cuba are financed and supported by United States
SUMMARY
Protests against the Communist regime in Cuba are not genuine, they are financed and supported by United States who are seeking a regime change in Cuba.
RESPONSE
Part of a recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about the West plotting coups in Russia aligned countries. This narrative is closely related to numerous allegations against the West of instigating “colour revolutions” in several countries with significant ties to Russia.
No substantial evidence is given to support these claims. The ongoing protests in Cuba started on 11 July 2021 over the lack of basic goods and services due to the worsening economic situation amidst the pandemic. Citizens have also taken to the streets to protest the poor medical services amid an increasing numbers of infections.
