Anyone have Radio Garden and speak Spanish? What's going on in Cuba?

I can listen but don’t speak Spanish, but it sounds as though all the stations are broadcasting the same male voice. Is it government broadcasting?

I understand they’ve shut down internet communication but radio is there. Are there pirate stations broadcasting in or out?

Cubans take to streets in rare protests over lack of freedoms and worsening economy.

Demonstrators complained about a lack of freedom and the worsening economic situation during the rare protests, according to people who spoke to CNN and videos from multiple cities, including capital Havana.

Many chanted for "freedom" and called for President Miguel Díaz-Canel to step down.

I have no idea of the reliabiity of this, it's just there. Btw, a reporter on CNN said that the demonstrators in the streets around the nation had no organized leadership, typical of a lot of happenings these days.




From Big Liar MARCO RUBIO, who courts wealthy Cuban-American voters.

The tell is that you care SO much. Not a coincidence.

This is a planted protest I'd bet large on "foreign" RW influence.

estates in Cuba, however it might be accomplished. She's not a player in the power blocs that're always working on this, but after all these decades that long-gone socioeconomic status and life are still her identity and passion. I know she'd steal the lands back and restore people to the impoverished servitude she remembers so fondly without a blink.

Since the advent of the internet, I no longer listen to my SW radios.
