Mexican President Claudia Scheinbaum

Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez, First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba and President of the Republic, recently gave an interview to Spanish political scientist Pablo Iglesias Turrión on the digital platform Canal Red, which was broadcast on the Cuban Mesa Redonda program.

At the same time, they carry out cyberattacks against the critical infrastructure of other countries to create confusion. (more…)
