#SOSCuba: Florida leaders from both parties back Cuban protestors' calls for change

[mia]

...The Florida Democratic Party took a strong stand in favor of the protesters also: “The Cuban government is currently showing the world that it’s nothing more than a failed tyranny. We stand with the Cuban people as they raise their voices in protest of a repressive government that refuses to help its people.”

Miami-Dade Mayor Danielle Levine Cava was no less direct in support of the protests.

“We stand united with the Cuban people on the island and across our community at this historic moment in the struggle for freedom, dignity, and basic human rights – may their courageous actions bring about real change and move us closer to the dream of a free Cuba,” Cava, also a Democrat, urged.

Democratic Tampa Councilman Luis Viera was likewise staunchly with the people protesting: “Here in West Tampa to stand in solidarity with Cubans protesting 90 miles from Florida for liberty, food & COVID vaccinations. I’m a proud son of Cuban refugees & am proud to use my voice to support change in Cuba.”
