Havana, Nov 28 (EFE), (Camera: Felipe Borrego).- A historic peaceful protest held by more than 300 Cuban artists and intellectuals outside the Ministry of Culture in Havana culminated early Saturday with an unprecedented agreement to hold discussions with the government.The activists are calling for an end to repression and censorship in the Caribbean nation.Around 30 of the activists, including actor Jorge Perugorría, movie director Fernando Pérez and artist Tania Bruguera entered the culture ministry to meet with deputy minister Fernando Rojas and other officials, an encounter that lasted four hours.They agreed to hold periodic meetings to broach their differences.Both the peaceful protest, at which activists clapped and sang songs, and the meeting between the creatives and the government are unprecedented in Cuba, where there is no de facto right to protest. The Cuban government rarely sits down to negotiate with independent members of civil society.FOOTAGE OF THE PROTESTS IN HAVANA, CUBA.
