Díaz-Canel, however, said that failings by the state played a role in the unrest.
“We have to gain experience from the disturbances, he said. “We also have to carry out a critical analysis of our problems in order to act and overcome, and avoid their repetition.”
In the protests, many Cubans expressed anger over long lines and shortages of food and medicines, as well as repeated electricity outages. Some demanded a faster pace of vaccination against the coronavirus. But there were also calls for political change in a country governed by the Communist Party for some six decades.
Police moved in and arrested dozens of protesters, sometimes violently, and the government has accused protesters of looting and vandalizing shops. Smaller protests continued Monday and officials reported at least one death. No incidents were reported Wednesday.
