And in the case of those who are still waiting for December products, what happens?
In my municipality, 5 lbs of rice arrived at the warehouse, but they were not additional, they were from the Norman quota, and the kg of rice for children aged 0 to 13 has not arrived at my warehouse.
Come here, my boy. Don't the rest of us Cubans have the right to enjoy all those good things you advertise, just like the Havana residents? That's why Cuba is the way it is. Long live the Orientals!
I would like you to tell me, who transmits the Internet signal, Cuba is not the owner, so there must be another server that provides it. Who is it?
Why do they give more basic food in Havana, but here in Villa Clara Square they don't give all of these? Or does the Square not belong to Cuba or are there privileges?
Because you are a country boy and instead of opening your mouth like a pigeon asking for food, go to the field behind your house and start producing food.
A question: the only province and the only Cuban citizens are from Havana, and to which country do we belong the rest of the country? I suggest they change the slogan: Havana, Capital of all Cubans, unless it's assumed that Havana residents are the ONLY CUBANS.
Well, at least according to the rules, they haven't given me soap. One question: if you're going to do this when the deportees arrive from parole, what will they give us? Why do we have to put them back on the parole book?
error Havana is the capital of Cuba but not of all Cubans, big mistake, each one in his own collapse,
We can make a change. They take all of Cuba's leadership and make it their capital. We won't get angry.
Because Havana would improve a lot this way because geographically it is the entrance to a key to the Gulf and everyone would enter through here, it is the closest to North and Central America and part of South America.
So we'll make the change for you, so they don't get jealous.
This information should be updated. In Havana, Plaza Municipality, toothpaste and dish soap have not arrived.
It seems like medical diets are no more. They should say so. They haven't given me anything for three years! I'm diabetic and had cancer surgery.
Well, they haven't given me anything else for a medical diet, not even the food, which is what is most abundant in this country.
What I want is for them to explain to me about controlled liberated rice. Because there are municipalities that all have reached the rice and mine, which is in eastern Havana, did not reach even a quarter of the population.
In Centro Habana there is not enough for everyone either.
Havana is mentioned, but nothing is mentioned about the other provinces. We don't count.
Where is that baby rice because I haven't seen it and that there is additional rice? Stop playing with our feelings and the people who say that everything is for Havana, don't be fooled. Besides, they have to send more than they send if there is a certain amount of people from all the provinces in Havana.
All the information is from Havana, and the other provinces are never mentioned in these articles from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and of course, they have nothing to do with the photo they include. Everything is packaged and pretty, but NOTHING IS REAL. Report the reality, and in ALL OF CUBA.
Just as if the rest of us did not exist, when they speak it must be general because it is Cuba, not Havana.
María province Horguin today the bread arrived now it will take 7 or 8 days for it to arrive at the warehouse again. To in my opinion that the flour can not arrive for a single day and the rest of the day they continue the good liverada until when the nerve and the old people waiting for the step and the children who covet the ball of bread a mother cannot daily buy a bag of bread for 350 pesos there is a telera of 55 and another 70 but what has like my daughter 3 girls and a salary of 2800 pesos a day cannot buy that expensive bread the people talk to the flour of the Normando bread they make the bread from the bodega one day and the rest of the day what are they stealing they say the comments become millionaires they enter the bicycles and after 3 months they already ride on motorinas until when the corruption is well controlled pull surprising controls the people suffer and you do not see change every day the blockade gets worse we have the same Cubans when a product is missing the prices go up quickly and the ordinary Cubans continue to suffer that is my opinion
And meanwhile, Pinar and its basket remain outdated? When will the people of Pinar del Río be included on the map of Cuba?
Here in blind only 3 pounds of March
Here in Cotorro, they haven't given toothpaste with the toiletries for a while, and the rice in May is nothing, not even a pound, just like sugar, and we're almost halfway through June.
Dear Cuban government, your people eat every day, not every three months; they wash their teeth and bathe every day, not every three months. How long will we have to endure this misery while the entire population knows how Cuba's ministers live? Enough of this misery.
The Cuban Revolution, inspired by the ideas of Fidel Castro, has always considered food for the people a fundamental right and one of the most important achievements of the revolutionary process. As Fidel stated on numerous occasions, "the Revolution is not the work of a privileged minority, but of all the people," and guaranteeing access to basic foodstuffs has been one of its historical priorities.
In the current context, the economic distortion that the country is experiencing is a response to the pressure of the blockade and external attempts to weaken popular resistance. However, it is a concerncupin view of how the delay and partiality in the delivery of the basic basket can be interpreted as a strategy to gradually eliminate this right, which would jeopardize one of the main achievements of the Social Revolution.
Subsidized food is not simply an economic mechanism: it's a shield that allows the population to resist the impact of the blockade and the shortages imposed from abroad. Without this subsidy, the people would be at the mercy of market prices and speculation, favoring MSMEs and private interests, rather than the working majority. Furthermore, it is known that those who feed the people control the people, creating a gap for the US to penetrate Cuba.
Therefore, defending the basic food basket is not just a matter of supply, but of social justice and revolutionary continuity. The basic food basket for adults must return immediately, especially when it is known that ships with supplies have arrived. There can be no administrative excuses when the people's food supply is at stake.
Decisions regarding food distribution must respond to the interests of the majority, not those of MSMEs or sectors seeking to profit from need. The Social Revolution cannot become a bourgeois revolution; if this were to happen, the people would not defend it, because it would lose its purpose.
Proposals to strengthen the people's nutrition
Complete transparency: Clearly and regularly publish the arrival of food into the country and its destination to avoid speculation and mistrust.
Prioritize the basic food basket: Immediately restore bread and essential products to all adults, the elderly, pregnant women, and children, regardless of geography.
Popular participation: Including the CDR, trade unions and other mass organizations in overseeing distribution, to ensure that food actually reaches those who need it.
Encourage state and cooperative agricultural production, prioritizing inputs for those who supply the basic food basket.
Price controls: Prevent subsidized food from ending up in the hands of intermediaries and speculators by imposing effective controls on the distribution chain.
Territorial equity: Ensure that all provinces receive the same quantity and quality of products, without privileges for the capital or specific sectors.
The Social Revolution is defended in practice, not in rhetoric. Feeding the people is a red line that cannot be crossed. The Cuban people have resisted the blockade for decades thanks to solidarity and social justice, not thanks to the logic of the market. Therefore, today more than ever, it is necessary to defend the basic food basket, demand its immediate reinstatement, and ensure that economic decisions continue to represent the people and not private interests.
As Fidel said: "Revolution is a sense of the historical moment; it is changing everything that needs to be changed; it is complete equality and freedom." Feeding the people is part of that equality and freedom, and it cannot be sacrificed under any circumstances.
That happens because nothing belongs to anyone, everyone who holds a position becomes corrupt and tries to take what they haven't worked for. A clear example is who steals from a micro, small and medium-sized enterprise (MIPI) and notice if there is a lack of control, because there isn't, it's simply because it hurts their pocket.
According to the information, liquid detergent has already been delivered in some municipalities and it also says that it has already run out in others, which is not true because the detergent has not been received yet as of October 10.
THEY GIVE A LOT OF THINGS AWAY IN THE CAPITAL'S WAREHOUSES BECAUSE THEY'RE AFRAID OF CHAOS, STRIKES, OR WORSE. THEY'LL NEVER REALIZE THAT THE PEOPLE ARE SUPER TIRED OF SO MANY LIES.
yyy
Well, René. It's true. The province of Havana has always been granted that privilege and attention, because it's no less true that it's our capital, and I believe every Cuban feels it's their own.
But like everything that isn't addressed, it's either left in the background or as a secondary priority. It's important to remember that Cuba, our country, is divided into three strategic geographic areas: West, Center, and East. No one knows if they will one day want to fragment and become independent, as is currently the case with Guyana, which belongs to Venezuela.
The photo is old. We haven't seen any coffee, olive oil, or other products in months. The information is outdated, as usual. Another disrespect for the Cuban people.
I am from Colombia, Las Tuna, and we have been owed 2 pounds of rice since March, and the other months that
In Yara, in March only 2 pounds of rice, what happens with the missing rice?
BD from Villa Clara why is there such a difference in the delivery of rice in the province of Havana compared to the rest of the province? It is said that the distribution in the country was equal for everyone in Villa Clara only two books I think they are doing things wrong are we all the same or perhaps Havana is the facade of a country in crisis does it have more possibilities or is it that they are taking to the streets let's think the same thing could happen that has been happening with ETECSA and its new recharge possibilities they want to regulate and control everything is there a monopoly in Cuba watch out that the people are tired
What basic food basket are you talking about when what they bring is a pittance of food?
And when will Cinderella come?
And for the central provinces like SS for when
WHAT A SAD REALITY AND WHAT DO THE ARMED FORCES DO THAT HAVE TO DEFEND THE PEOPLE?
Greetings, I see with great concerncupEvery day they lose the little morale they have left, they don't think about the children, the elderly, the sick, and the people of every Cuban who doesn't have a plate of food, who work for low wages, and today, that state has abandoned us to our fate.
In Jiguani, there are no basic necessities; it's difficult to survive in these circumstances, with many people going hungry.
Why do they advertise distribution in Cuba when they only talk about Havana? Oh yeah, Havana is the only city on this island. Our journalists are so bad. They should have more knowledge to be able to report well. Think about it.
And the basic basket products that should be given as a voucher. To those collaborators who returned from mission and have been waiting for 5 months and according to reports, since May of last year it has not been available in the pilot stores in the municipality of Perico. Will they give it to you one day?
Here in Ciego de Ávila they haven't completed the March ones yet, you can imagine.
But Havana alone isn't Cuba. And Holguin, when they're about to finish March, we're starving.
Please, I beg you, if you have a little dignity, don't play with the people's food supply, don't tell any more lies and finish stocking the stores because we know there is food here.
Please, I beg you, if you have a little dignity, don't play with the food of this town that is consumed in the Bodegas, because we know there is sooo ...
When they distribute the May cigarettes, June has already begun and nothing for Havana. Marianao never pays for them and doesn't receive them. It's a lack of respect for the people.
And for the province of Holguín, when? They haven't even finished with the month of March yet, and I live in the center of the municipality of Holguín.
And for the province of Holguín, when? They haven't even finished with the month of March yet, and I live in the center of the municipality of Holguín.
In the Artemisa Province, they haven't given sugar, coffee, or pasta for five years. I don't understand how it's possible that in Havana they give so many things, but the other provinces don't give anything, including the Artemisa Province.
They only talk about Havana and other areas of the country, what?
