HAVANA: Cuba on Monday accused the US government of bearing"direct responsibility" for the protests that rocked the Caribbean island two years ago, marking the largest demonstrations since Fidel Castro's 1959 revolution.
The White House declined comment, and the US State Department did not responded to a request for comment. Washington has maintained that the riots were spontaneous and denies having provoked them."Slander promoted by the White House, related to events it sponsored in 2021, is used as a pretext to maintain a policy of maximum pressure against Cuba," it said.
Frustrated by long lines for food, public transport, fuel and medicine, more than 140,000 Cubans have since October 2021 migrated to the United States, according to US government figures.
