Longing for a free homeland, hope for change and a deep love for Cuba drew thousands to the streets of Hialeah, where chants of “Libertad” echoed through the city during a “Cuba Libre” rally Tuesday evening. The gathering at Milander Field was part protest, part celebration — a vibrant echo of a Cuban fiesta. Hats reading “Make Cuba Great Again” and shirts proclaiming “Cubans from Morón” — a central Cuba town where protesters recently set fire to the Communist Party headquarters — or “Patria y Vida” dotted the crowd, while music, from Celia Cruz classics to reggaeton, pulsed through the air. The voice of Cuban singer Amaury Gutiérrez added a melodic thread, weaving nostalgia and pride into the atmosphere.
Amid the chants, one refrain rose above the rest: “¡Viva Cuba Libre! ¡Abajo la dictadura!”— Long live free Cuba, Down with the dictatorship — powerful declarations of identity, pride, and solidarity uniting generations, from those who left decades ago to younger Cuban Americans, bound by hope and resistance.
The rally, attended by several thousand people, marked the first major event hosted by Hialeah’s new mayor, Bryan Calvo, in the heart of one of the nation’s largest Cuban exile communities where, even though most elected officials are U.S.-born to Cuban parents or grandparents, the cause of a free Cuba has long been used as political leverage in South Florida.

Calvo, in a bilingual address, said that the Cuban people deserve something more than “merely surviving.”

They weren’t mixing drinks?
Very.
Despite being so “Progressive”, Cuba is going backward.
From the richest Latin America country, Castro’s took it bravely to be the poorest.
And life in Cuba is going from bad to worse.
It is so bad the Cuba is one of the few counties for which there are no economical statistics.
From the anecdotal evidence, Cuba is actually one of the poorest countries in the world!
And, do not blame America!
Most of the Cuban moneys are remittances from American relatives!
But, but the Code Pink morons said that Cubans are better off than we are....🤣
