This resembles Weyler's reconstruction. Not even in the worst moments of the republic did children in Cuba stop drinking milk because the livestock was greater than the population and slaughter was not prohibited. The weather, the wonderful weather, has beencupThey have tried to bring with them the only truth that exists, they have done everything wrong even if they had very good intentions.
I would like to ask whoever might be interested why, if the rice distribution was for the province and municipalities of MTZ in Colon, La Sona 6, and the warehouse called La Curva #24, office 0426, we don't have enough rice. I'm asking where the rice in our warehouse is.
Thank you for such valuable information. This helps us refute those who spread the opposite message. We trust you and hope everything goes according to plan. Have a nice day.
Please, the lack of rice is among the products that most affect the pockets of ordinary Cubans, who are the majority in Cuba. We are in mid-May and the March rice has not yet been distributed, and of course, neither April nor May. I do not intend to give an explanation but a solution, because we are fed up with explanations. We do not need officials at all levels to cry with us, but rather to finally resolve the problems of regulated supplies.
Gentlemen, you are unfair since you don't give milk to the children. That is aggressive. Until when, for God's sake?
Those foods are only available in Havana, because in the rest of the country it's only been rice for years.
In one part of the municipal capital of Guantanamo province, the supplement for children and those over 60 for the month of March has yet to arrive. 🤔 No rice for April, much less for May. Retirees and pensioners are left without options. 😢😢 Right now, a pound of rice costs between €350 and €400 pesos. 😱
That's only 4 pounds of March rice for some provinces in Granma, some spoons full of weevils, and a little bit of beans.
In Las Tunas this year they have not distributed COFFEE, OIL even once, since March they are distributing three pounds of rice and in several stores the two pounds of donation that are within the 7 pounds have not arrived, in the provincial capital there are stores that this year have not given liquid detergent
It is April rice
But in the end nothing is fulfilled, they claim that it is guaranteed and it is false, and the others from 13 onwards are not children, do not deceive the people, if you do not have it, tell them but do not promise.
Why comment if you no longer have any face? I mean, those who run this country have the people starving and working, why do you ask for opinions if you don't solve anything?
On the distribution of the basic basket.
In the other provinces nothing is said.
Until when, by God, until when, we must eat every day. We are in the month of May and since March, nothing at all and the bread is no longer our daily bread. This is already beyond words. 😡 😐 Guantánamo
On the distribution of the basic basket.

What a mess things are giving out in March and we are in May and many things are lost along the way with this trail and never arrive, I give a medal to the one who managed to find an organizational guide, a common thread, I don't know an organization. This gives rise to things giving out in some places and in others they never arrive and are forgotten in time.
In several wineries in the province of Guantanamo, the bag of rice donation for children and people over 60 years of age for the month of March has not yet been distributed. The price of that product has already reached €400 per pound, and the bag €850. What does the cucAracha 🪳?😱😔🤔
In Santiago de Cuba, the Songo La Maya municipality in Los Reynaldo, when are they going to distribute the quota? At this point, they have not taken anything to the winery.
If what the Ministry of Finance reported were true, we'd be better off. Last month, they reported that they would give out 7 pounds of rice, 2 free as a donation, or 5 that the customer would pay. What happened? They gave out 2 pounds, but they cashed in, and the 5 haven't arrived. Notice the 5 from last month, and that's it. We're at 13. I really don't know why they lie and disrespect like this.
In my opinion, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs should reach an agreement with the police to end the abuse. Rice is sold on the street for 400 pesos.cup This is inaccessible, and you can't count on the inspectors because they'll do their job and instead of issuing a fine, they'll come out with 10 or 20 pounds of rice and other things. Put an end to this abuse of the population because some people have money, but others don't, like me, for example. Thank you and best regards.
