"The day of November 15, 2021, Estela Cruz Marrero, activist of de democratic oriental alliance of Los Pinos, municipality of Banes, observed that police and helpers of the comunist system were defensive, trying to avoid that the opposition and the people in general could demonstrate. The authorities were provoking her husband and sons, so she intervened. Estela watched Maria Felix Hernandez Cruz, collaborator of the government, with a walking stick on her hands saying that she has a walking disability. However, she used this instrument to hit the demonstrators. That day they lived great repression, that Estela tells, was provoked by Miguel Diaz Canel, Raul Castro and their allies."
