In a city without water, without light and garbage cover, the authorities decided to “save Havana” sweeping gardens and posing for the photo.
Havana, Cuba.- While the city of Matanzas loses the battle against various viruses that cannot be duly diagnosed due to the lack of reagents in hospitals, reports of similar symptomatologies from other provinces arrive, including Havana, where this weekend an alleged day of sanitation starred was carried out- it was more- By the highest direction of the country and young people who meet active military service. In another of the countless meetings of the Plana Mayor, Miguel Díaz-Canel, following the tonic of the prime minister, Manuel Marrero, spoke of the accumulated problems, but this time emphasizing the capital, to which, in his words, “they have neglected a lot.”
Neglecting is a soft term to refer to the deplorable state of Havana. So deplorable, in every way, that a capital city can hardly be found in the West as “careless” as ours. Díaz-Canel recognized the problems with water, the current, the collection of solid waste and everything that has uncomfortable habaneros, which is not the total whole, but it is the visible part of a bottomless whole. While he spoke, the mothers of the students of the pre -university Raúl Cepero Bonilla commented, worried, about the outbreak of hepatitis that is in said study center, presumably due to the consumption of contaminated water. The official media have not mentioned the matter, and in the school no more measures were taken to disconnect drinking fountains and demand that students carry a mask, disinfectant gel for the hands and water of their home. Díaz-Canel is now learning about so many “carelessness”, but in a city without water or current, without access to food or medicines, it has long since reached school and health.
Under the slogan of “Saving Havana”, while military service recruits cleaned the most disgusting corners in the most central neighborhoods, the leaders dedicated themselves to sweeping dry leaves in clean areas, where the aid of a lifetime could have finished their work in less than an hour. In the images that attest to the arduous work carried out by our fierce paintings, Díaz-Canel, Marrero, is seen, Marrero, Lis costs and Minister Betsy Díaz Velázquez giving guataca on grass, or putting leaf litter in sacks and there, in the last of the photo, half hidden among the trees, a 100%drinking water pipe, of those that never include in their road map to the marginal neighborhood That the thing is dry. But the gardeners, exhausted from working so much for this Havana, pose for the photo cleaning a yerbita, always in the umbrella, without plague, without water with shit splashing their impeccable imported shoes, and one without being able to take off the head of the head imposing dumps In each corner of Centro Habana and Havana Vieja, for only citing two municipalities that generate a huge amount of waste, and in which the degree of “carelessness” can be appreciated in which an acclaimed capital survives, at another time, for its garb and hygiene.
From time to time, when the tense social situation is dangerously closer to the edge of the unmanageable, the leaders are launched to one of these realities to pretend that they care and that they also sacrifice. Innumerable days of hygienization we have known since 1959 and Havana, as never before, is sunk in the reason, because the problem is not conjunctural, but structural. The paripé, who does not even reach all conflicting scenarios, will end in a couple of days and the garbage will recover his lordship. The “carelessness” and protests will return, which have not stopped, intensify, whether in the middle of a street or at the headquarters of the party, because people, more than running, need water to not get sick, not to die.
And while this very poor people pay a gardening day for paintings, with transport and supplies included in their pocket, the symptomatology of high fever, joint pain, inflammation of organs, vomiting, diarrhea, rash and desire to die of a dagger time, continues to expand nationwide between empty pharmacies, health centers unbalanced and collapsed, an informal market where the prices of Medicines go up daily, dry pipes, darkness and, above all, resignation, the main evil that is killing us.
