Cuban 15N Leader Yunior Finally Marches, As a Tourist to Madrid

Published 17 November 2021 (16 hours 14 minutes ago)
The political operators of the failed provocative march of last November 15 are living from one piece of paper to the next.
In the last few hours, the Facebook group that gathers the provocateurs and all the anti-Cuba mud-slinging machinery based in Miami or Madrid made a fuss about the alleged disappearance of the leader of the provocation and his wife and "demanded proof of life."
It was a new episode of the media escalation to keep alive a non-existent flame after Monday's resounding defeat.
But the lie has short legs. Europa Press has just unraveled the mystery of the disappearance of the art dealer in chief:
Yunior Garcia, main promoter of the marches against the Cuban government, has arrived in Spain.
Government sources have informed Europa Press that Garcia, founder of the Archipelago movement that called for the 15-N protests, has landed in Madrid after applying for a tourist visa.
"Another fiasco of the empire in Cuba on 15N! Nothing happened! Look at this farce! They said that "the regime" had kidnapped Yunior and Dayana, and it turns out that both left unbothered on an Iberia flight and are in Madrid. Now they will speak ill of the Cuban "dictatorship"!"
The sources have specified that the Cuban oppositionist, who has traveled on a commercial flight, has arrived in Spain accompanied by his wife, without it being clear for now what his future plans are.
Garcia had to cancel his solo march through the streets of Havana on Sunday after suffering a "cruel, illegal and inhuman blockade."
Cruel, illegal and inhuman blockade? Better to ask 11 million Cubans what that is.
Epilogue from Madrid for this actor's play.

Cyberclaria meme.
The curtain goes up. A playwright creates a group on Facebook and there begins to articulate a "movement." The end? Call a "lawful and peaceful" march to protest very noble and endearing things, such as freedom, justice, prosperity ... Win many followers on social networks. People start sharing his posts, he starts getting a lot of likes, they talk about him. Already the leader of the "movement," he makes his "master move": requesting authorization from the decision-makers to allow the march. Perhaps asking is not the best term; rather demand. It is a win-win situation, it does not matter if the government allows it or not. There is no possible defeat.
Lower the curtain. Go back up.
The mayors of each municipality where the permission for the demonstration was requested, which was projected throughout the country, refused to grant it. The march concealed some not so noble goals: they intended to use it as a platform for change, to transform the system according to their interests. In short, they invoked a right regulated in the Constitution to go against the Constitution, against the socialist status quo endorsed in the current legal system. And then there were the companies.
It turns out that the group created by the playwright had alliances with other "movements" that openly advocated capitalist restoration and even military intervention in Cuba. Of course, the "lead artist" denied all that: they appreciated anyone's support, without any commitment.
Lower the curtain. Go back up.
The Cuban government fights back. The first devastating blow comes with the revelation of a phone call between the playwright and a notorious Miami-based terrorist. The artist denies that this was a serious relationship. And the second blow comes: one of those who attended, together with the playwright, a certain training workshop for "leaders of the democratic transition in Cuba" turned out to be an agent of State Security. At the third blow, the "movement" after the "lawful and peaceful" march staggers, like a boxer about to be knocked out: evidence is shown on national television of financing from abroad, either by remittances or top-ups. The "lead artist" had many godmothers, and they consented to it.
Lower the curtain. Go back up.
The playwright no longer wants to leave. Now he says that he will walk alone, for a couple of blocks, with a flower in his hand. It does not come out at the end, according to him, because the police prevent it. "My house is blocked (SIC)," he writes on a sign sticking out the window. However, a foreign correspondent comes to his home the next day, the date agreed for the "lawful and peaceful march." The artist's mother-in-law reports that the leader of the "movement" is asleep, that he will not come out, he is very tired. His desperate acolytes summon a cacerolazo, a simultaneous applause, to wear white: no initiative is successful. The "movement" has no people.
Lower the curtain. Go back up.
The playwright is dead, some say. Kidnapped, others say. The dictatorship disappeared him. Assassins! Repressors! We want our leader alive! But the missing appears. He is in Spain, safe and sound, with his ideas "intact", at a prudent distance from the country he intended to take with "powerful civic action." His followers do not know what to say: some do not even believe the news. His colleagues from the anti-government business attack him, for making them look bad. A political corpse is what runs through Europe.
Behind the scenes, the business owners begin planning a new casting. Another leader is needed. If you are an artist, all the better.
Lower the curtain. How is the play called?

Social movements and organizations around the world organized demonstrations in solidarity with Cuba and in rejection of the US-backed opposition protests planned in the country for November 15
The US-backed counter-revolutionary protests planned for November 15 in Cuba fell flat as the Caribbean country reopened its borders to tourists and its schools on the same day. The Cuban people blatantly rejected being a part of the US destabilization attempt and proved that they are more concerned about the reopening of the economy and the return to normalcy after a year and a half of restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
A small number of people in a few cities took to the streets as a part of the “Civic March for Change”, called for by an NGO called Archipiélago in 10 cities across Cuba. Videos shared on social media showed that these “organized protests” were quickly overshadowed by pro-revolutionary supporters. Meanwhile, local media reported that the economic activities ran normally across the country.
Since Sunday, Cubans have also been organizing actions in defense of the Cuban Revolution and against the US sabotage attempts. On November 14, a group of college students organized a peaceful sit-in in the capital Havana’s Central Park as a part of the “Red Scarves” event. The young communists also organized concerts, poetry readings, documentary screenings, book presentations, and speeches related to the Cuban Revolution and the country’s future. Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel also joined the event following the student’s invitation.

In addition to the rejection expressed in Cuba, thousands of people associated with hundreds of social organizations around the world held numerous demonstrations in solidarity with Cuba and in the rejection of the US-backed opposition protests.
The people of the US reject attacks against Cuba
In Washington, DC, organizations such as CodePink, Answer Coalition, DC-Metro Coalition in Solidarity with the Cuban Revolution, the Democratic Socialists of America and the Communist Party of the United States organized a solidarity action in front of the Cuban Embassy. The activists and political leaders celebrated the reopening of the borders of the island nation and rejected the continuation of the US’ hostile policy against the socialist country. They demanded that Joe Biden’s administration end the commercial, economic and financial blockade of Cuba that has been suffocating the Cuban people for over six decades.
In New York City, the representatives of the New York-New Jersey Cuba Sí Coalition, New York Young Communist League, and other organizations organized a demonstration in front of the headquarters of the Cuban mission to the United Nations. The activists demanded an immediate end to unilateral coercive measures against the country. The activists chanted slogans such as “Let Cuba live,” “Lift the blockade,” “Cuba yes, blockade no,” among others.

Additionally, on November 15, the members of the Interreligious Foundation for Community Organization (IFCO) or Pastors for Peace arrived in Havana in the 31st US-Cuba Friendship Caravan to reiterate the support of American people for the Cuban people.
Gail Walker, executive director of the caravan, said that the caravan represents the countless people in the United States who oppose the blockade against Cuba and are disappointed with the foreign policies of the Biden administration. She condemned that Biden has done nothing to eliminate the 243 unilateral coercive measures and sanctions against Cuba imposed by former US president Donald Trump in the midst of the pandemic, and that he has maintained the same hostile policy.
The group, consisting of some 74 people from about 20 American cities, will remain in Cuba until November 26. During their stay, they will hold meetings and workshops with different organizations and tour the educational institutions, historical and cultural centers.
