  1. I really don't understand anything. Children from 0 to 1 years old received two rounds of milk last month. Only one came into my warehouse. They still owe one and now they are sending 10g on the 600th, when they owe the other. What a lack of respect. From 1 to 2, they have been taking all 2 shipments for 3 months, and from 2 to 6 they don't exist. For God's sake, they are all children. Don't prioritize one over the others.

  2. Children aged 2 to 6 do not have the right to drink milk in Santiago de Cuba. They never give it to them, and when they do, diabetics don't realize that they should give good milk to little children for 20 days and even 10 days to those aged 2 to 6. They are children too.

  3. And why don't they give modules to children with chronic childhood illnesses and this month they didn't even give milk only to diabetic children, they didn't give it to the others

  4. And who told the MINCIN that in this country we want things rationed? I oppose that type of distribution. Quique, like everywhere in the world, there should be free trade where you can buy everything you need to live, as long as you have it, of course.

  6. From Cinderella to Princess, and from Princess to Cinderella again, last for all, the Pinar del Río people, it's not for nothing that the saying goes, "Are you stupid or from Pinar del Río?" When will something come to Pinar del Río, Viñales?

    • Well, yes, they distribute it like here in Arroyo Naranjo, where the package of spaghetti and the package of sugar have not reached many warehouses in this town.

  7. It is impossible to name the situation we retirees are experiencing, that after a lifetime contributing our effort and talent to the Cuban government, today in the 21st century we are surviving as almost idiots.

  8. Good morning, the only thing I understand is that you have a lack of respect for the people because if there are products on the street they are quite expensive and I know there is a blockade, stand and think

  9. I would like to know if the meat diet for patients will be distributed. There are many patients who cannot afford to buy at abusive prices and have gone approximately 6 months without receiving that product.

  10. I have a question: the salt distribution was by core composition. Did this change after the pandemic?
    because our core was supposed to have two packages and they only gave us one.
    Thank you and sorry for the inconvenience.

  11. Good evening, and the province of Havana is not in Cuba. These products should be given to all Cubans. Not everyone has an affordable salary to buy these products in the mini-markets. These products are extremely expensive, and their salaries are not enough for anything.
