WHERE DID THEY SEND THE COMMENT I DON'T SEE?
WRITING NEWS IN SPANISH IS FOR CUBANS. WHY DIDN'T THEY PUT MY COMMENT? DEMOCRACY, FREEDOM, FREE ENTERPRISE, WITHOUT TYRANNY. TERRORISM, NOT COMMUNISM, DEMOCRACY?
ONLY ONE SOLUTION FOR FOOD, ELECTRICITY, LIFE FOR CUBANS IN CUBA 🇨🇺 OVERTHROW THE CASTRO TYRANNY, DEMOCRACY, FREEDOM, FREE ENTERPRISE, DOWN WITH CASTRO-COMMUNIST SLAVERY NOW!!!
Here it's been three months since the rice we get through the ration book has arrived, not a single pound is given away and they take it from us, and with a pound there's no one to live and 1,500 pesos isn't enough for anything, Pinar province, Sandino municipality
And for that distribution, Granma is not on the map because they don't mention it at all, neither for food nor for gas, because supposedly on Tuesday the distribution of LPG was to begin throughout the country, then they said that it would begin here on Thursday, and it is still unknown if it would really begin tomorrow. Granma is only on the map to receive blows with the current because it is apparently not on the map for food.
that is the problem we have, they tell you they are going to give you the pittance they give you at the bodega that no one eats with for three days and everything calms down, half of what they say is a lie, I don't remember the last time they gave you coffee, and I asked myself if the coffee plantations dried up, now go to a hotel and there is all the coffee you want, the people take to the streets and they calm them down with saying they will give you something at the bodega, that is why Cuba has no future, that is why we are dying of heat and misery because they settle for nothing, before they gave you sugar at the bodega now you have to buy it for 250 on the street, everything is corruption. everything is a lie. the government has abandoned its companies, production, chicken coops that were previously full of laying hens now have grass. you see the agricultural companies with the equipment collecting rust, they are just for decoration, with so much land to produce that the state has and lost in weeds, and we continue to suffer misery.
Cienfuegos k. But let's not be regionalists, it's a disaster. Why does this ministry exist? And a minister who appeared on national TV with a bunch of graphics that didn't say anything. It's not within the month, it's whenever they feel like it (It seems our government has forgotten that it works to serve its people). With our salaries and everything that's happening, how far will we go? It seems they don't live in Cuba or belong to the 1%.
Speechless.
May the Granmense be struck by lightning, there is nothing for that.
Well, and holy Martha, they only gave 2 pounds of rice, the 5 that are missing and the rest because it was only rice and sugar, don't they plan to give it?
They have good news so it's better to be informed thanks
In San Antonio del Sur, a town that was severely devastated by Hurricane Oscar, the childcare modules only arrived for the months of April, May, and June. January, February, and March are not eligible because they have already expired. Those children did not have the privilege of enjoying their module or because many lost the little they could buy on the street at a different price, and it seems that no one cares. I do not know why they give them a childcare card for those modules because pregnant women do not receive their module in their time, and these are things that I think every pregnant woman has the right to receive. I do not like to complain, but there are things that hurt, and I do not do it for myself, but for all the pregnant women of the months of January, February, and March who did not have the right to receive their module because the schedule was for April, May, and June. I hope you excuse me if I cause you any inconvenience.
How is it possible that children, the elderly, and people in general have to wait for donations, and that people who have gone to different countries receive donations for their families that have not been cancelled at the corresponding Offices? And there are entire households of up to five people with children who receive milk allowances, and in other households there are up to four, and there are those who have a Special Diet allowance who are waiting to be cancelled because in many establishments they have been cancelled without even going to the Office to cancel them. Those are the ones who benefit from the non-compliance with this Resolution.
Baracoa is no longer the primate city; it is the private city of all that God blesses.
Likewise, before we were 'the first in time' and now we are the long-forgotten.
We deserve everything that happens to us…
Not one more lie, please distribute what belongs to the people. In Palma Soriano they gave a package of rice and food with a package of sugar that is now stopped. Don't be so slow.
they are all liars
The other Probinsa seems that people do not eat in the municipality of Caimito belonging to the province of Artemisa to the warehouse do not bring rice It's been two months until when will they be With the lies
and Sancti Spíritus further back, they deserve it for being worms.
Santiago, rebellious and hospitable, has earned it.
And the other provinces?
Aren't we Cubans?
Camaguey municipalities are delivering zero basic food supplies and experiencing excessive blackouts. Are they trying to kill us? It's a question mark, you might ask.
What this government has is unique: the people are more evil.
Pinar de Río sugar? And what else are we waiting for? Where's our basic food basket? For what month or year? It's desperate. Expediting is the commitment of the competent agencies, if there's still justice and equity in our country!
And when does Pinar del Río receive the basic food basket? Or do we not belong to this island? We live eating like indigenous people between Ash and Coal, sweet potato and cassava. Where is the Vietnamese rice? The oil and other products that you offer to the rest of the Cuban population?
Well, what happened with the last donation? Many wineries in Arroyo Naranjo, for example, mine, 1959, from Alkasal, still haven't received the spaghetti. Would you be so kind as to explain?
Hail Caesar, we who are about to die salute you.
In Granma they owe rice for March, the complete amount for April, and why even mention May if they haven't given any for April?
when they are going to catch up
And the May rice, the month is coming to an end, when will there be a lottery here in Cotorro?
And Granma never mentions it in anything.
and Villaclara at the tail
When will you talk about Havana?
When will you talk about Havana?
Donation rice is discounted from 7 pounds, meaning they charge you 5 and give you two free.
So the modules are for the provinces that cause trouble.
When will rice be available in April and May here on October 10, Tamarindo? When will cigarettes be available in April and May? It's really hard to understand how much coffee and salt they've removed from their supply, and the little they do provide, they give away whenever they feel like it.
God bless the people of Cuba. Blessings
