This time, the target is not just news outlets or social media, but also video games.
The article shared by Cuba's top diplomat, published on the pro-government portal Cubadebate, claims that video games act as media channels that "frame" reality through rules, metaphors, and systems of progress.
To support its thesis, Cubadebate claims to have analyzed a sample of 45 foreign video games where Cuba plays a role of varying intensity in the storyline.
According to Cubadebate, this turns politics into a spectacle, establishing a "symbolic violence" that reduces Cuban reality to mockery and humiliation.
Instead of questioning the reality faced by Cubans, the regime once again targets the messenger, now embodied in video games.
