Cuban media have denounced new provocations aimed at undermining internal order as part of a US strategy to subvert the revolutionary process on the island.
Havana, Cuba.- National TV offered details of a show staged on Friday by a dozen people in the capital's neighborhood of Old Havana under the pretext of going to the home of counterrevolutionary Luis Manuel Otero Alcántara.

According to the story, the leader of this action is an antisocial individual with a long criminal record as he has been prosecuted for illicit economic activity, theft, misappropriation, and robbery with violence against persons, among other crimes.
The report disclosed a telephone conversation in which a Cuban-American living in San Antonio, Texas, offers money to the participants in the event to guarantee the support of this type of action.
