In Havana alone, 48 of the 55 protests took place, which covered all the municipalities except Habana Vieja, Centro Habana, Regla and El Cotorro.
After Hurricane Ian passed through the west of the island and the national blackout that ensued, Cubans took to the streets to demand the restoration of electricity, food, water and freedom.

Users of social networks have also reported outbreaks of protest in Mantilla, La Palma and La Güinera (Arroyo Naranjo) and in Guanabacoa.
The protests on Friday night raised the tension on the Island so much that the communications monopoly, ETECSA, completely blocked the internet service, a mechanism that the regime uses so that what happens in the streets is not transmitted.
