Havana, October 5 (RHC)— Cuban citizens went Tuesday to the U.S. embassy in this capital to demand the resumption of consular services, which ceased since the administration of Donald Trump.

Gathered in front of the diplomatic venue, they urged Washington to resume the family reunification program, affected by the policies of the former U.S. president and whose pause continues with the current president, Joe Biden.

According to Twitter, the hashtag #ConsularServicesinCuba trended in the Caribbean nation, with more than 13 thousand tweets.

Under the pretext of health incidents reported in Havana in 2017 by U.S. diplomats, for which science has found no cause and U.S. State Department reports revealed government mismanagement, Washington closed its consular services in Havana.

That decision had an impact on the suspension of the family reunification program, and the granting of visas for visits and orderly and safe migration since Cubans are forced to go to third countries for all their procedures, which increases costs and without certainty of approval.

Recently, the Cuban Foreign Minister, Bruno Rodriguez, reiterated that there were no alleged acoustic attacks and condemned the political manipulation of the issue to damage relations between the two countries.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs recalled that classified results and evidence of non-public scientific research on the events continue to come to light, proving the non-existence of such aggressions.
