PROTESTS IN CUBA
The former president, who said he was “widely in favor of alternating power,” criticized US President Joe Biden for not repealing Donald Trump’s rules against Cuba. “The Cuban people have the right to take to the streets , they have the right to ask for freedom, the Cuban people have the right to ask for more food in fear, to ask for more energy.

We have to be aware that acting separately and negotiating separately, we are weaker”, he affirmed. According to the former president, the objective is not to create enmity with the United States, but rather “alternatives” for the economic strengthening of the countries in the region .“We need to look at the world not just for the United States, not just for Europe.
