It seems unbelievable that gas, as it is known, is on the streets at an overprice and normal gas is lost. What happens to this system is that the more
you look less you see
It's truly shameless and disrespectful. Where does the gas come from at such exorbitant prices if not from the distributors themselves? Everyone, including those at points of sale, must be thoroughly investigated, as corruption is consuming them. At these points, pending cases are fabricated or more leaking bullets are reported than normal.
Let's see, be censed, if I have a pencil that I don't need because I have many more, I try to sell it at the best price because they don't sanction the one who set the price for chicken in oil, meat, ham, cheese, milk, bread that is no longer seen in the state or for children, or hospitals that if you don't pay you die at their doors, or medicine that doesn't exist in pharmacies, draw your own conclusions.
and CAMAGÜEY WHEN?
I hope this is true and not just another joke to make the population more desperate, even more so than it already is.
My way of thinking regarding Gaz is that they should analyze the points and impose strong sanctions. No problem, but when you're already crazy because there's no electricity, you're in trouble. Who says today they can charge me 36... what a retiree doesn't earn in a year?
