Cubalex received information about a protest that took place in the Van Van neighborhood, in the town of Cabacú, Baracoa municipality, in Guantánamo, between 10 and 11 p.m. on May 16.
According to a local source, residents of the community took to the streets shouting “we want food” and “electricity,” demanding the restoration of power after more than 14 hours without electricity.
