MIAMI, United States. — A house without conditions, a sick daughter, poor nutrition and blackouts of six and eight hours. This is the situation that Pausides Orduñez Montero is going through, who lives in the Guantanamo municipality of Baracoa.
“I have a house that is embarrassing for a visitor to come because they don’t have boards, the termites ate them,” the man told CubaNet.
Orduñez Montero said he felt abandoned by the authorities since his 56-year-old daughter is bedridden and does not receive the care she needs.
“They have abandoned me. I have a 56-year-old daughter who is bedridden and does not take a step. She is diabetic (…). She has cataracts from birth (…) They took her diet away. They don’t serve us at all, ”said the man from Baracoa, who recalled that the town where she has lived for months has not even received meat.
Pausides also denounced the situation of blackouts in the territory.
“I am in a state of nerves that I cannot live. The current goes out for six or eight hours and they turn it on for two, three or four,” said the man.
In this sense, Orduñez Montero maintained that the Cuban leaders do not suffer nor do they suffer from the problems of poor people.
“Those big ones who don’t fit in their uniforms have electricity and food and the poor man here is starving,” added the local.
The man stated that the price of life for ordinary Cubans has become too high and that the money is not enough to cover their basic needs.
In addition to basic services, people from Baracoa must also buy medicines such as duralgin, whose price amounts to almost 200 pesos per pack of 10 tablets.
