KRISTALLNACHT
Der Maleconazo-Aufstand war ein Protest gegen die kubanische Regierung am 5. August 1994. Kuba steckte in einer Wirtschaftskrise und die Proteste wurden gewalttätig. Hunderte gingen in Havanna auf die Straße und riefen "Libertad!". Castro antwortete, indem er sagte, "die Konterrevolutionäre" könnten gehen. 35.000 flohen, meist per Boot oder Floß, in die USA.
