ORLANDO, Fla. — Hundreds of people waving Cuban and American flags, many wearing paint-stained white T-shirts bearing the words “SOS Cuba,” marched around downtown Orlando and rallied at Lake Eola Park on Saturday, with chants calling for U.S. military intervention reverberating through the crowd.
Saturday marked the sixth day of protests in Orlando and throughout Florida as local Cuban communities march in solidarity with people on the island as anti-government protests continue.
In Orlando, some protesters held signs demanding military intervention, which have been echoed by some South Florida lawmakers and Gov. Ron DeSantis.
