Nothing justifies crackdown on protests in Cuba, says FHC – 07/15/2021 – World ksuadminJuly 16, 2021 8 For former President Fernando Henrique Cardoso, nothing justifies the Cuban regime’s crackdown on popular acts perpetrated in the country since last weekend. It is also not plausible to “make the Americans feel guilty”, adds the toucan, referring to the representatives of the regime who point the finger at the participation of the United States in the articulation of the protests. “Just as I have always been against the armed and economic pressures exerted against the Cuban regime, I am against the stifling of popular demonstrations,” FHC said in a statement sent by its foundation. “Democracy demands respect from those who protest, even when they disagree with what they want.”
