Venezuelans Stage Anti-Communist Protest for Cuba in Caracas

Students at the Central University of Venezuela (UCV) in Caracas organized a protest this week, and blocked a major road in the capital, in solidarity with anti-communist protesters in Cuba.
Venezuelan anti-socialist protesters blocked the road and painted the slogan “
patria y vida” on it meaning “fatherland and life,” an anti-communist play on the Castro regime slogan “
patria o muerte” (“fatherland or death”). The anti-communist phrase has become the international rallying cry against the 62-year-old Cuban communist dictatorship after the release of a song of the same name by several artists with formerly friendly relations with the Castro regime.

If you listen closely to protesters in Cuba and Florida, you can hear people chanting patria y vida, translating to homeland and life. The chants reclaim a popular slogan from the Cuban revolution, homeland or death.
Protests in Cuba have been ongoing for years but reemerged last week when thousands of Cubans marched to protest food and medicine shortages, power outages and some even calling for political change.
But where did the slogan patria y vida come from? Cuban reggaetón musicians Alexander Delgado and Randy Malcom of the duo Gente De Zona; Yotuel Romero, member of the Cuban band Orishas; and singer-songwriter Descemer Bueno.
