Pro‑Cuba rallies held in Donostia and Gasteiz protest US policies

On Thursday, demonstrators gathered in Donostia (San Sebastián) and Gasteiz to voice support for the Cuban revolutionary cause and criticize United States interventions. The rallies, organized by the group Askapenak, cited the “Monroe 2.0” doctrine and condemned recent US‑backed threats against Cuba. Speakers referenced historic efforts to resist US pressure, including past attempts to overthrow the Cuban government and recent military actions in the region. The events were framed as part of a broader internationalist solidarity movement, linking Cuba’s struggle to other anti‑imperialist causes.

Organizers described the protests as a response to what they see as increasing US aggression and called for the removal of Cuban leaders Nicolás Maduro and Cilia Flores, alleging that their regime is responsible for civilian deaths. The gatherings attracted local Basque participants and were supported by community groups, though the rallies remained limited to a few hundred attendees in each city.
