Fidel Castro's anti-communist daughter hopes the U.S. will bring regime change to Cuba
Fernandez said maximum pressure could push Cuba toward negotiations as U.S. officials cite the 1996 shootdown that killed four exiles.
- Cuban activist Alina Fernandez expressed support for increased United States pressure on Cuba, urging maximum pressure to facilitate negotiations and regime change. She identified Secretary of State Marco Rubio as instrumental in addressing the island's political situation.
- Earlier this month, United States authorities indicted 94-year-old Castro for the 1996 downing of two civilian planes that killed four exiles. The incident occurred 30 years ago when he served as defence minister.
- During a White House Cabinet meeting on Wednesday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio described Cuba as "run by a bunch of incompetent communists" and characterized the failed state 90 miles away as a national security threat.
- In Havana, residents condemned the indictment of Castro, reflecting deep tensions over the prosecution. Cuban officials countered that United States messages aim to dictate their political system and undermine their independence.
- Alina Fernandez, who last visited Cuba in '22, maintains that pressuring to the maximum is necessary to push for a solution, though she acknowledged that capturing the soon-to-be 95-year-old Castro appears difficult and painful.
