The nightly pot-banging protests in Cuba reflect an economy and dictatorship in collapse.
The lack of fuel, electricity, transportation, and shortages of food and medicines highlight the crisis.
The issues Cuba is suffering from are not the responsibility of the pressures deployed by the US, but of the Castroist leadership.
The dictatorship is increasingly isolated. With the war in Ukraine, Russia and China are less involved, plus the political changes in Latin America.
Negotiations between Washington and Havana could indicate a similar model to the one applied in Caracas, a non-democratic change.
Conclusion: Cuba is facing a profound crisis due to tyranny and bad decisions of its leadership, and although negotiations may indicate changes, they are likely not to be democratic.
