DISINFO: US is trying to implement the “colour revolutions” scenario in Cuba
SUMMARY
The United States of America is trying to implement the scenario of "colour revolutions" in Cuba.
RESPONSE
Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about the US attempts to organise colour revolutions around the world, this time in Cuba.
According to the pro-Kremlin outlets, protests and civil uprisings are never manifestations of genuine popular discontent and political desires manifested by the population but are foreign engineered colour revolutions directed and funded by Western intelligence services or other Western actors to destabilise targeted foreign states and bring about regime change. The belief or conviction, that you can mastermind from abroad and run for long periods foreign countries, neglects fundamental dynamics in democratic aspirations among ordinary people. As such, this conviction disrespects and disregards the local population.

For context, since 11 July 2021, Cuban citizens have taken to the streets across the country for the first time in more than six decades to protest against deteriorating living conditions and the lack of basic goods and services, including medical attention amid increasing numbers of COVID-19 infections.
The protests, with thousands of people calling for an end to the 62-year-old communist regime, began in the western city of San Antonio de Los Baños, later spreading to more than 40 cities and towns including the capital Havana.
