‘The Cuban People Will Be Free’: Congressman Introduces Resolution To Support Cuban Protests, Only Republicans Sign On
Rep. Mario Díaz-Balart (R-FL) introduced a resolution to support the Cuban people in their demands for freedom against “the brutal oppression of the Communist dictatorship in Cuba.”
Díaz-Balart — a Cuban-American — asked the international community to stand behind the recent protests against the island’s regime. Initial cosponsors for the House resolution include Steve Scalise (R-LA), Elise Stefanik (R-NY), Maria Elvira Salazar (R-FL), Carlos Gimenez (R-FL), Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY), Greg Steube (R-FL), Dan Crenshaw (R-TX), Byron Donalds (R-FL), Matt Gaetz (R-FL), and Liz Cheney (R-WY).
According to Díaz-Balart’s statement:
For 62 years, the Cuban people have struggled for freedom and human rights under a brutal, repressive dictatorship. On this day, which also coincides with the anniversary of the Tugboat Massacre, we also remember the regime’s decades of malevolence, including the Brothers to the Rescue Shoot-Down, the firing squads, torture, arbitrary arrests, killings, human trafficking, those who fled in makeshift rafts through shark-infested waters, and the many activists who have suffered or perished for simply daring to speak against the regime. The Cuban people will be free, and they will remember those who stood with them.
Under the resolution — entitled “Expressing solidarity with the Cuban people in their demands for freedom and respect for basic human rights” — the House of Representatives:
Calls for the release of all political prisoners and for the end of acts of repression, arbitrary imprisonments, torture, and other human rights abuses against the Cuban people;
Honors the courageous Cuban people for daring to stand up to the Cuban regime and demanding respect for fundamental freedoms, such as freedom of expression and assembly;
Recognizes the brave pro-democracy and human rights activists, including independent journalists, artists, labor leaders, and religious leaders, who have been persecuted throughout decades of Communist tyranny;
Urges other democracies, regional and multilateral organizations to affirm that violence against the unarmed people of Cuba will not be tolerated and that human rights abusers will be held accountable for their crimes;
Expresses solidarity with the long-suffering Cuban people in their demands for a genuine democratic transition; and
Calls on the international community to stand with those struggling for freedom in Cuba by condemning repression and expressing unequivocal support for their rights to self-governance, human rights, and basic liberties.

did he put the Trump sanctions in place? Or is he a member of the party asking for them to be lifted? Which are you asking?

Re: Democrats refuse to stand with Cuban people; side with dictators
Democratic Rep. Gregory Meeks of New York, chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, on Monday urged President Joe Biden to lift sanctions imposed on Cuba by former President Donald Trump.
Meeks' call for the sanctions to be lifted came after historic protests against Cuba's Communist government, with thousands of Cubans flooding the streets to express outrage over a lack of freedoms and a worsening economic crisis.
Looks like one House Democrat called for that.

In March, eighty House Democrats sent a letter to Biden imploring him to repeal Trump's "cruel" sanctions on Cuba and return to the Obama administration's approach of rekindled engagement.

Re: Democrats refuse to stand with Cuban people; side with dictators
I think that the Democrats care more about the people starving and not having medicines than they are about the communist regime. We were 2 seconds away from a complete fascist authoritarian government in this country if trump got reelected..... Complete with a complicit senate, supreme court and department of Justice in his pocket and you cunts call dems communist sypathizers? What ignorant pigs
