The mayor of the Administration Council of Santa Clara, Eduardo Andres Roman, signed the response to the request to hold a counterrevolutionary demonstration initially called for November 20.

No legitimacy is recognized in the reasons given for the march. The promoters and their public projections, as well as the links of some with subversive organizations or agencies financed by the US Government, have the crystal-clear intention of encouraging a change of political system in Cuba, Villa Clara’s mayor wrote.

The authority explains that Article 56 of the Constitution provides among the requirements for the exercise of the right to demonstrate the lawfulness and ‘respect for public order and compliance with the precepts established by law.’

‘That reaffirms that the announced march, whose organizational scheme is conceived simultaneously for other national territories, constitutes a provocation as part of the strategy of regime change for Cuba, tested in other countries,’ Roman points out in the text.

The response letter refers that as soon as it was announced, the march received public support from US legislators, political operators and media that boost actions against the Cuban people, attempt to destabilize the country and urge military intervention.

Article 45 of Cuba’s Magna Carta indicates that the ‘exercise of people’s rights is only limited by the rights of others, the general welfare, respect for public order, the Constitution and the laws,’ the document of the Municipal Government of Santa Clara referred.
