Cuban government rallies backers following week of protests
Havana | Cuban officials rallied tens of thousands of supporters in the streets on Saturday (Sunday AEST) – nearly a week after they were stunned by the most widespread protests in decades.
President Miguel Díaz-Canel – accompanied by 90-year-old former President Raul Castro – appeared on Havana’s seafront Malecon boulevard that had seen some of the largest protests against shortages and the political system the previous weekend.
