Havana, Nov 11 (TIWN) Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez has accused the current US administration of stoking internal destabilisation on the island.
The remarks were made ahead of a nationwide protest over human and civil rights scheduled for November 15, which the Cuban government has accused the United States of being behind, and refused to grant legal permission for.
When asked directly at a press briefing on October 26 whether Washington was behind the protest, US State Department spokesperson Ned Price did not unequivocally deny, saying: "We stand with the right of the Cuban people and the right of people everywhere to assemble peacefully, to have their voices heard."
A number of US officials have voiced support for the protest.
