Anti-Castro dictatorship posters with slogans against Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel and communism appeared on walls in Havana's El Vedado and Jaimanitas neighborhoods between 10:46 PM on February 28 and 1:46 AM on March 1, 2026, as reported by residents to La Tijera News. Messages included "Maduro fell, Canel will fall soon" on 15th Street between 20th and 22nd in El Vedado, and "Communism, enemy of humanity" on the Pharmacy and Jaimanitas Cinema exteriors. Citizen reports confirmed additional posters decrying tyranny and repression in the municipality, according to La Tijera News citing images shared by residents. These acts follow the political collapse of Nicolás Maduro in Venezuela, referenced in the slogans. Over the past three hours, separate reports emerged of the Cuban communist regime running out of fuel to print the Granma newspaper, announcing it will publish only once a week in an 8-page edition, with provincial PCC newspapers ceasing print, as stated in a post by MagJorgeCastro on X. In Rome, U.S. official Mike Hammer met Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Pietro Parolin to address human rights and freedoms in Cuba, coinciding with Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez's reception by the Pope, according to MagJorgeCastro. Meanwhile, Cuban exiles in Madrid rallied with three generations demanding freedom, and in Montevideo, Cubans held a street caravan for their country's freedom after left-wing defenses of the regime.
