[...] Slogans already used during the 11J [July 11th] movement, in 2021, and during last year's summer protests were once again heard loud in Caimanera, an eastern municipality located next to the Guantánamo naval base. Hundreds of people took the streets while videos were recorded and immediately uploaded to social media, and Facebook Live broadcasts were made to demonstrate once again the unease of Cuban society in the midst of hard living conditions.
