ORLANDO, Fla. – Anti-government protests have erupted in Cuba in the last week over a lack of access to food and basic medical supplies, amid a rise in COVID-19 cases. People around the country, and here in Central Florida, have rallied in support of those protesters.

Cuban-American journalist George Diaz joins News 6 anchor Justin Warmoth on “The Weekly” to discuss the growing movement, and the experiences his own family had before they came to the U.S.
