Spanish government sources have reported that García, founder of the Archipelago movement that called the protests of 15-N, has landed in Madrid this Wednesday after having applied for a tourist visa.

The Cuban opponent, who has traveled on a commercial flight, has arrived in Spain accompanied by his wife, the same sources have specified, without it being clear for now what his future plans are. The Cuban government has assured shortly after that there has been no agreement between Havana and Madrid to facilitate the departure of the dissident’s country and they have explained that the activist he would have processed the visa on his own. Likewise, they have also denied that Yunior Aguilera has been threatened or that he has been forced to leave the country, as the opposition has denounced after the departure of other activists from the country in recent months.
