Although several followers of the Cuban regime joined in congratulating Díaz-Canel, other users recalled the disastrous role that the police have played as a repressive apparatus of the Cuban dictatorship.
“Nothing better than a misspelled tweet to congratulate the most brutal and brutal police,” commented Twitter user Antonio Finlay.
“And there are still some Cubans who are so stupid that they want us to believe that Cuba is free and its long-suffering citizens too. I already said, if they are as free as they claim, open the borders and after a while they tell me how many did not flee the country and remained in their “freedom”, “replied a user identified as George “Chorch”.
A body subordinated to the Ministry of the Interior (MININT), the National Revolutionary Police is one of the main apparatuses of the Cuban regime to confront activists and opponents, in many cases through violence and arbitrary arrests.
The role of the PNR was vital to silence the anti-government protests on July 11 and 12, 2021, during which there were shots and abuse against the protesters.
