Cuban Opposition Figure Calls on Trump to Remove Díaz-Canel from Power ‘Maduro Style’: ‘He Must Continue Pressuring’
Cuban opposition leader José Daniel Ferrer urges former President Trump to take action against President Miguel Díaz-Canel similar to the u.s. operation in Venezuela.
Cuban political prisoner José Daniel Ferrer has called for former President Trump to take decisive action to oust Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel and Colonel Alejandro Castro Espín, suggesting that a move akin to what occurred in Venezuela earlier this year is necessary. During an interview in Miami, Ferrer highlighted his belief that both leaders are responsible for numerous crimes and deaths in Cuba, asserting that they must be removed from power to enable a transition in the country.
Ferrer expressed a willingness to engage in serious conversations for a transition but emphasized that if the current situation in Cuba continues to worsen, he would support a forceful removal of Díaz-Canel and Castro, even by methods reminiscent of those used against Nicolás Maduro in Venezuela. This statement underscores the deepening frustration among Cuban opposition figures regarding the government's human rights record and its handling of the economic crisis.
As discussions about potential U.S. intervention in Cuba arise, Ferrer also commented on who might replace the current leaders. He speculated on social media discussions surrounding possible successors, signifying a growing tension within Castro’s ruling elite as calls for change become louder. This outlook reflects Ferrer’s urgent appeal for both domestic and international support to facilitate a significant political shift in Cuba.
