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 Fernández endorsed intensified United States pressure on Cuba, urging negotiations to facilitate regime change and identifying Secretary of State Marco Rubio as a key figure in addressing the island's political situation.
  • Earlier this month, United States authorities indicted 94-year-old Raúl Castro for the 1996 downing of two civilian planes that killed four exiles, an incident occurring 30 years ago when he served as defense minister.
  • During a White House Cabinet meeting on Wednesday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio described Cuba as "run by a bunch of incompetent communists," characterizing the failed state 90 miles away as a national security threat.
  • In Havana on Wednesday, residents condemned the indictment, while Cuban officials countered that United States messages aim to dictate their political system and disrespect Cuban independence.
  • Alina Fernández, who last visited Cuba in '22, maintains that pressuring to the maximum is necessary to push for negotiations, though she acknowledged that capturing the soon-to-be 95-year-old Castro appears difficult.
