[a video about Cuba from the news collective Belly Of The Beast] Duration - 2:04

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio posted a video on May 20 addressed directly to the Cuban people, claiming the blackouts have nothing to do with the U.S. oil blockade.

We took to the streets to Havana to see what people thought of his speech. Most hadn’t seen it.

“It’s just that I despise Marco Rubio so much that it’s not even worth listening to anything he says,” said Lucía Miret, 76, a retired teacher.

Most of those who saw it, rejected Rubio’s claim.

“It’s no secret to anyone that the blockade exists,” said Daimara Pérez, a doctor. “If the blockade didn’t exist then they should let the ships in.”

    To be honest, I don’t really care about about Cuba’s input on this because REALITY ALSO DOESNT AGREE. Instead of reporting cubas thoughts, why don’t you report REALITY

    Edit: I hadn’t realized this wasn’t a news article. Side note, of course Cubans deserve to be heard here. I just thought this was a news outlet playing the he said she said game instead of doing the news. Keeping it here.
