  1. I'm from the Amancio municipality, El Paraiso place. I have a bedridden daughter with speletic PCI. They took away her fluid milk from medical diets. For several deliveries, they haven't brought her diet meat. Anyone who might be interested in my complaint?

  2. Havana is overlooked, June is ending and the May rice is still missing, the cigarettes in Marianao have vanished or the municipality doesn't have the budget to pay, it's most likely

  3. In Sancti Spiritus, they haven't distributed salt to households in grades 1 to 2 since December, and in April they sold it to households with more than three people, and now they're doing it again in June. Do we have to cook without salt for those of us with one or two people?

  4. The pound of sugar they're giving away in Lawton is no good, wet and dark, at least that's what they're giving away at the bodega on 12th Street and Terrace. That's no good, and the coffee, as the song says, is for when

  5. Granma is the one that is never mentioned at all, always the same provinces, almost three months without giving a grain of anything and we're going for more. The level of inequality, disinterest, and poor planning in this country is unmatched.

  6. You don't mention the other municipalities in Camagüey. Should it be equal, not just the city? Don't you think? Please be more creative. We are all Cubans. Thank you.

    • It's sad that children ages 2 to 6 don't drink milk. It makes you want to cry, but we must resist. Children should drink powdered soda so it doesn't harm their little kidneys.

      • Likewise...all children have the right to a glass of milk and it is only given to children 0 to 1 or 2, who are the children who drink it the least, and those who do drink it are not given it.
