On Thursday in Miami, Cuban-American Congressman Mario Díaz-Balart declared that Cuba is "closer than ever to freedom," asserting that the regime is at its weakest point after decades of internal crises and mounting international pressure. Díaz-Balart was joined by fellow Congressman Carlos Giménez, members of the Cuban Resistance Assembly, exile organizations, local elected officials, and community activists. Recalling just two years ago, Díaz-Balart criticized measures aimed at facilitating the Cuban regime's access to the U.S. financial system and legitimizing what he described as an "anti-American" government. While acknowledging forthcoming challenges, Díaz-Balart concluded his speech by reaffirming his belief that the end is near. "We have never been this close to freedom, and we will not stop," he promised, vowing to continue working until, as he put it, the Cuban regime is relegated to "the dustbin of history."
