MADRID, Spain.- The Cuban singer Haydée Milanés spoke on her social networks against the repression of the Government of the Island and referred to the economic crisis; factors that increasingly make living in the country “more unbearable”.
“There are many difficulties that arise in the daily life of Cubans, food, transportation, lack of electricity/water, medicines and a long list of basic needs, plus the general deterioration that can be seen just by going out to walking the streets or entering the house of any Cuban. You have to experience that to be able to feel and understand it,” Milanés said this weekend from Facebook.
Just as he referred to “the great disappointment of belonging to a beautiful country, in which it could be wonderful to be, but every time it becomes more unbearable to live, because there is no illusion, because the government system is inefficient for the people.”
He also denounced that you cannot disagree, “because that system censors you, harasses you, represses you, imprisons you, tortures you, and banishes you.”
The composer and arranger also accompanied her publication with images of women imprisoned in Cuba and concluded her statements calling for the freedom of the more than a thousand political prisoners on the island.
“No more imprisonment, no more repression, no more intimidation, no more abuse,” he demanded.
Haydée Milanés in recent years has remained critical of the situation on the island and supported the public statements of her father, the renowned troubadour Pablo Milanés (1943-2022), whom she said suffered censorship in the Cuban media.
In 2020, after three girls died victims of the collapse of a balcony in Águila and Revillagigedo, in Old Havana, the singer’s statements were revealed, who expressed: “There are many houses in danger of collapsing in Havana and these events are more frequent every day. (…) How many more lives are necessary for precise and urgent actions to be taken with these homes in critical condition?
He first concert by Haydée Milanés from 2023 will take place this March 10 at the Flamingo Theater Bar in the city of Miami; and it will be the first public performance of her since the death from his father, which occurred on November 22.
