Statement From Miami-Dade County Tax Collector Dariel Fernandez Regarding The Incident Involving A Supposed Florida-Registered Vessel And The Cuban Communist And Socialist Dictatorship

The so-called “official statement” from the Cuban communist and socialist dictatorship is exactly what it has always been: a propaganda narrative from a regime with zero credibility.

We do not believe a single word coming from a government that lies, represses, tortures, and executes its own people. Their version of events is unverified, unconfirmed, and cannot be trusted.

This incident involves a supposed vessel reportedly registered in Florida, and while our office is working closely with the U.S. State Department, we cannot provide further details at this moment because the situation is still developing.

We are waiting for U.S. authorities to investigate and determine the truth about what happened off the coast of Cuba. Our community deserves transparency, not another fabricated story from a dictatorship that has spent six decades hiding the truth.

God Bless Miami-Dade County , and God Bless the United States of America

Dariel Fernandez

Tax Collector
