We are approaching the first anniversary of the July 11 protests, which had a profound impact on the entire power structure in Cuba, as well as its domestic and international legitimacy.

The other way is to interpret it as an outburst orchestrated and financed from the United States — “the fault,” as it has always been, “lies with imperialism.”
