The communist regime of Cuba, headed by Miguel Díaz-Canel, would have banned Holy Week processions in the Diocese of Santísimo Salvador de Bayamo-Manzanillo, located in the province of Granma, according to a source who contacted ACI Prensa.
The local source, who has chosen to remain anonymous for security reasons, indicated that this measure seems to be related to the fear of new protests breaking out on the island, as happened on last Sunday in several cities, especially in Santiago de Cuba and Bayamo. These demonstrations arose in response to food shortages and continuous electricity outages.
Osvaldo Gallardo, a writer and activist for religious freedom, who has lived for more than 40 years in Cuba and worked on culture and communication projects of the Cuban Episcopal Conference, believes that the regime “is very afraid of gatherings of people right now.” ”.
