Briefly

"We are marching now to tell the US government to let the Cuban people live in peace. Down with interference!" Diaz-Canel told the protesting crowd, highlighting the demand for an end to foreign intervention.
Cuban officials blame US sanctions for the country's poor economic state. According to 85-year-old retiree Faustino Miranda, "If we didn't have the blockade, we would not be facing difficulty like this," demonstrating the widespread sentiment against the sanctions.
Protesters chanted 'down with the blockade' and 'we will never surrender,' showing a united front against US sanctions and asserting their resilience.
Former president Castro, aged 93, supported the demonstration while Diaz-Canel emphasized that this year has been one of the most difficult for Cuba due to US policies.
