I don't understand why only Havana is being talked about, when the entire country of Cuba also needs to be informed about the distribution of the basic food basket. Don't we exist for you? We are also affected, and perhaps much more than Havana.
Good afternoon, today the milk for children ages 2 to 6 arrived at my warehouse. They didn't ship it to me because my daughter is 6 years old. The law changed if she turns 7 on January 6, 2026.
HELLO MINCIN I NEED TO KNOW IF MY SON WHO TURNED 18 IN JANUARY/2025 IT'S HIS TURN FOR CIGARETTES AND WHEN, BECAUSE THEY TOLD ME AT THE OFFICE THAT IT'S UNTIL NEXT YEAR AND HE WILL ALREADY BE 19, WAITING FOR YOUR RESPONSE, GREETINGS
And what happened to the February cigars at bodega #1465, better known for the Palatino tavern, that never arrived? It was forgotten.
Only Havana is talked about
We continue with the blessed regionalism that has always characterized this blessed country.
The fucking dick, man
For those who don't understand why they no longer want a spiritual drought from the adversary Zathan, the god of this century. Every word of God, the Elohim, creator of all that exists, is fulfilled beyond anything and any human will. Everything is recorded in the Bible; there is nothing outside of Adonai's word for this world filled with evil. To generalize, all the evil in the world will end. Matthew: chapter 24. Amen…
Good afternoon, because when you talk about the delivery of cigarettes, say which one you are giving so we know the price for each consumer.
HOW CAN YOU TALK ONLY ABOUT HAVANA? THE OTHER PROVINCES IN THE COUNTRY ARE THE SAME OR WORSE, AND IF IT'S ABOUT THE TOWNS, DON'T EVEN TALK ABOUT IT. SO I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY YOU ONLY REFER TO THE CAPITAL. YOU HAVE TO REFER TO THE WHOLE COUNTRY BECAUSE WE ARE ALL CUBANS.
Well, if the peas are going to come with the amount of weevils that came last time, it's better not to bring them, I had to throw them away, who eats such a thing?
Can you tell me what special diets are because they no longer give milk to those with HIV?
They can say that they are
Regarding modules such as oil and meat, which were given by TRD stores for cards, they have not given it anymore.
Y0 I wonder what we are going to do to buy food, retirees who earn 0 pesos
Hello, in the Amancio Rodríguez municipality, nothing of what you present here has been distributed, as you are advertising.
Until when the lie this has no solution
That's in Havana, which is Cuba. The rest have to wait until someone remembers that there are also children, the elderly, and other population groups. It's very sad to see what this beautiful Cuba has become.
5th month of the year and no protein for older adults 🤔🚀.
In Santa Clara, we haven't received diabetic diets for months. Gas is a big problem, with long blackouts and a wire burner. If there was gas, there would be fewer blackouts and fewer asthmatics from the wood smoke. The situation is tough.
I would like to know about people like me who don't have a contract and are being asked for thousands of pesos, and I'm retired with 1500 a month. Thanks. Georgina García Castillo, Seville, October 10

The people do not ask for cigarettes, the people need food.
The milk for special medical diets will be only for Havana because I haven't seen it in the east for three or four years.
What's happening with the meat for the sick here in Minas, Camaguey province? It hasn't arrived in three months. Also, in March and April, they didn't distribute rice or cooking oil.
My respects, we know the difficulties we face. But I would like to know what the state is going to do to help people in vulnerable situations who live off a checkbook and have no one to help us. How are we going to cook?
If we have no alternatives or
economic means to buy even coal, sick people. I hope the government
Please appreciate these situations. Thank you.
I am bored, tired and stubborn that everything is in small quantities, in small quantities, I no longer have the life to buy expensive things on the street ☹️, when will the day come that one can enter a store in Cuba with dignity and pay with local currency and buy whatever I want.
It's all a children's story, there's no excuse when saying something like feeding the people, thanks.
In Las Tuna, little information, if anything, in March only peas, children 5 compote when they distribute in the month, in the butcher shop nothing for anyone, oil once this year, coffee is unknown, very little cleaning, this is the drop, on the other hand nothing at all, cooking gas is not even talked about and nothing is resolved with the President's visits.
Here in the province of Holguin, they distributed coffee and salt only to the provincial capital and nothing to the municipalities. There hasn't been any bread for 13 days and...
Here in Artemisa, even though they already gave out the March rice in April, there is a huge food shortage, and to top it all off, they gave out a module of rice and oil only for children from zero to five years old and seniors over 65. I think they should have thought about the impact this would have when there are older children and seniors under 65 who have nothing to eat.
My grandson was born in January of this year, in Yawajay Santi Spiritud, and they still haven't given him even once the milk he should have. Thank God his mother has milk in her breasts, otherwise she would have to buy milk.
Forget about special diets. People with HIV are classified as such. That milk was stolen years ago. And nothing happened.
A question, I am 9 months pregnant, from the municipality of 10 de Octubre and I have never been able to follow any diet!!
I have cancer and they took me off the diet they advised me to do I die or stay alive?
You have to fight to live. These people don't care about the people. The first thing the fascists did in Germany in 1940 was stop helping the sick and the elderly; they were expendable and more likely to die than to be kept alive.
Greetings, it would be like before, that it would be distributed at home, and a percentage would be paid for bringing it. I like that way and it eliminates lines and other things. The best thing is to distribute it at home.
When will the distribution of liquefied gas resume? Until when will we be
waiting
The best thing they do is not give anything if in the end nothing is seen everything is a fake the detergent and toothpaste were given a while ago in some municipalities and not in others it is better not to say anything so as not to look bad
María Antonia, I don't know what's happening in my warehouse. I'm from Marianao Zamora, my warehouse is 1523. The liquid detergent has arrived in all of them, but it hasn't arrived in mine. What's happening?
Can you tell me if Havana is the only place where people are assigned a family basket or if Havana is the only place where there are people, while in the other provinces there are animals?
Cigarettes are a controlled released product. If they are stolen, they cannot be replaced. My question
Until when will the basic food basket be deducted? Our pension is not enough to buy food on the street because of the high prices in the Cuban state.
si
There are also children in Holguin, but they do not have the right to milk.
In San Cristóbal, Artemisa, children from the age of 6 are not given yogurt, soft drinks, or anything else when they need it most for their teeth and bones. Please, there is a situation, but please analyze children from 6 to 13 years old.
In Camaguey, after 7 months, what they give them is milk water.
When will the medical meat diets for sick people be distributed again in Sancti Spiritus? They haven't been distributing them for several months, and not everyone can afford to buy beef for 600 pesos on the Zaza highway.
In Camagüey, they do not give the sick their diet or milk as established.
The information about the crumbs of the population's basic products is disgusting, because they are seen within the belly of the people, as they call it. Remember that the population is not the same as the people.
For Las Tunas, the municipality of Majibacoa, housing, they haven't brought us even a pound of rice for March, and the potatoes they were going to sell through the ration book never arrived. It's tremendous.
tremendous lack of respect in Santiago, they have given nothing
No.
