OPPONENTS of the Cuban government were accused of running a “fake social media campaign” today in a bid to sow discontent and foment regime change on the socialist island.

Spanish analyst Julian Macias Tovar examined digital networks and found large numbers of spam accounts liked to a right-wing Argentinian who has launched similar operations against leftwingers in Latin America, including former Bolivian president Evo Morales.

Agus Antonelli is alleged to be behind a campaign to derail the Cuban revolution by manipulating the country’s economic crisis, which has been caused by former US president Donald Trump’s tightening of Washington’s long-standing blockade.
