Please, what's happening with the gas? It hasn't been distributed in the Cerro municipality since January. The population is waiting for an answer. Thank you.

The situation with powdered milk for children under one year old in Cárdenas is critical and shameful. When they really want to, they don't give out the corresponding bags and wherever you ask, it just stays there and no one gives an answer. It's not an absurd habit of cigarettes, alcohol or coffee, it's the milk of babies from months old who on the street and in small shops are 1200 and up per kilo. If someone would take the time to give an explanation.
Please have a little respect for those children. Have you stopped to think about how much they don't eat every day because every day there is no money to buy the things that are sold at high prices, mainly rice, which is what we have every day, bread, milk? How can you believe that you can send those children to school hungry and with so many needs that we have?
We are the same, I speak from Palma Soriano. We can't stand it any longer, without rice and with the high price of food where there is a population of many old people and children. The resistance that we ask of them is coming to an end, but they can't take it anymore, it's too much, we don't have water because of the negligence of the boss of the Dos Rios Central and he says it has nothing to do with that, where we have always taken water there are leaders who make things worse to make those of us who are resisting suffer, I hope they find some solution because it is not easy to fight with bedridden adults, they are water.
Hoping someone remembers us.
Good afternoon, the diets of children with chronic illnesses, when are you going to give something to those children without a word?
I have a concern about the fish diet that was not lacking in the month of December and they said they were going to give it and this year 2025 They haven't given any diet. I'm talking about the Arroyo Naranjo municipality, modern subdivision of electrical distribution. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Brother, and what will we say here in the east, and specifically Granma, who have not eaten fish since the first open forums demanding the return of that child who was called Elian Gonzáles Broton?
In the province of Guantánamo, nothing has arrived from the month of April and we are in May and neither rice nor sugar arrives.
But only Havana, and for the rest of the country, aren't we fed? When they publish the distribution update, make it general, not just regional, because the other provinces also eat.
And when will Guantanamo happen? Why not give up this forgotten pasture to the naval base? It would be a relief for the regime and a blessing for the people of Guantanamo.
The situation regarding powdered milk in Camagüey for children under 1 year old is a complete lack of respect. It turns out they don't even make it to a year old. Now it's up to 7 months, and they never make it to 6 bags. The amount you'll receive each month is very unstable, not to mention that it's not enough. Please, we're talking about babies, at least respect that.
Still in some stores in the municipalities of Guineado they have not brought the sugar
Here in Camagüey, cigar delivery is irregular. In some places, they send Criollo cigars, which are of better quality, and in most of the province, they distribute Popular cigars, which are the worst. They have no quality at all; they seem homemade with tobacco, and the coffee, it's not worth mentioning! It's been a while since they distributed coffee, so it would have better quality.
Now excuse me and I will refer to something that is happening in Marianao, the cadres that are put in charge of companies and institutions truly leave a lot to be desired, they do not generate anything to advance, they only think about their own well-being, cadres that exploit in several companies in front of everyone and they continue moving it to another company, if you do not investigate yourselves, move to those places, you will see cadres without perspectives that do not advance nor let advance, a real obstacle, for example, communal is a disaster there the robberies are in plain sight and no measures are taken by any organization if you have your ear glued to the ground, hear how the workers express themselves, no measures are proposed, the province does not approve the cadre but it is the decision of the local government, that is not how progress is made and cadre with capacity and interest there is what is not convenient because it is not of the tin
The only thing that matters is Havana, screw the rest of the country.
I live in a part of the plain and here there is neither rice nor sugar, here there is nothing
When in the other provinces
The people are suffering from hunger like never before during the Revolution.
It is disrespectful to the Cuban people that they are asked to RESIST so often and that promises are never kept by the incompetent leaders of the GOVERNMENT.
I don't understand anything, for me we are still the same, everything is behind, and what about cleaning, we have to buy bath soaps, washing powder, toothpaste all at overpriced prices, and for those of us who are retired with a low pension (1528), how do we live?
Expensive cigars, Creole and popular at 300 and 400 pesos and that's national production, we're in a bad way, I don't know where we're going to end up.
I want to know if the country is only Havana, because there's no news for the rest of the country. Are we perhaps weevils? Please, this is an aging country with a lot of poverty, and what more do they demand of us? Enough of justifying the unjustifiable. Hunger is scourged.
Wow, almost everything in this country is an odyssey. What patience and true zest for life you have to have here.
Apparently in SMP the 2 pounds of sugar were sold. They brought it to my warehouse 1042 in the Jacomino popular council. And according to the warehouse, it wasn't enough and an eagle has already crossed the sea and they don't bring the missing amount and I have to buy it at $700 a bag... The other bag that was for senior citizens never arrived either. It is sold by MSMEs. We don't know what tortuous path the sugar that corresponds to us for the basic basket follows.
Good day. What I don't understand is how two days ago the sugar arrived at the warehouse located on Ave 39 between 84 and 86 in the Marianao Municipality and on the fence there is a sign that says NO SHIPPING. Can someone explain this to me?
Everything for Havana. The rest of the country, which without 13 provinces, is completely out of reach. So how does the rest of the country solve this problem? By buying everything at million-dollar prices?
What matters here is Havana, the rest can manage as best they can.
My greeting, I have a concern.cupAction in my warehouse in Marianao 1523 the liquid detergent has not arrived to Dema if not to this one what happened or what is happening
and in the east when?
Only Cuba has Havana as a province. The rest of the country doesn't count. What a lack of respect for all Cuban citizens, and our leaders ask us to resist, to make efforts, because individuals have flour and make quality bread, why does the State have flour shortages? I don't understand, that's the truth. Speechless.
