Fox News
A small flotilla of boats returned to Miami on Saturday evening after motoring off Cuba’s coast and setting off fireworks and flares in a show of support for the Cuban people and democracy.
"We also want to draw the attention to the United States government that they have to do something," organizer Jose Portieles told The Associated Press. "We feel identified with what is happening in the protests in Cuba. We could be the ones who are there." "We also want to draw the attention to the United States government that they have to do something." "They’re going to see that we’re there for them." Cuba considered the boats a provocation. Cuban Foreign Affairs Minister Bruno Rodriguez called the flotilla illegal and urged the U.S. government to halt them "to avoid incidents which are not in anyone’s best interest."More Related News
