MIAMI, United States. — The opposition movement El Nuevo Directorio launched a new graffiti this Thursday, coinciding with the 63rd birthday of the designated president Miguel Díaz-Canel.
The usual message of “No to the PCC” was embodied on the wall of the ground floor of Humboldt 7, in the Havana municipality of Plaza de la Revolución, where the so-called Humboldt Massacre occurred on April 20, 1957, the date on that several of the survivors of the attack on the Presidential Palace, which occurred on March 13 of that same year, were executed by the Fulgencio Batista dictatorship.
The New Directorate indicated on social networks that “today’s action” was possible despite the heavy rains.
“Good morning, Cuban men and women. From early in the morning, under a hellish downpour, fighting against the Dictatorship. Nothing could prevent today’s action because of the meaning it has for our movement, and for the history of the people of Cuba,” the group said on Twitter.

According to El Nuevo Directorio, the graffiti was a tribute to the Martyrs of the Humboldt 7 Massacre.
“To the Martyrs of the Humboldt 7 Massacre, the predecessors of the Student Directory, our tribute as best we can honor them; with an action against the Castro dictatorship”, added the group.

On that occasion, the “No to the PCC” message was erased hours later with black paint.
