“It hurts to see what my Cuba has become,” laments a journalist from Camagüey

Pobreza en Cuba, Cubanos

MIAMI, United States. — The journalist Jose Luis Tan Estrada, former professor at the University of Camagüey and a graduate of that same center of higher studies, lamented this Friday the situation in Cuba.

In a post posted on social networksthe young man presented his impressions on the Cuban reality and assured that he felt pain for the path that the country has taken.

“It hurts to see how those ‘above’ live without any concern and we, those below, live with the constant of what we will eat tomorrow. It hurts to see how a pound of sugar costs 200 pesos; Hell, we were one of the world’s leading sugar producers. It hurts to see how the price of rice has increased and many have not brought it to the table for some time. But it hurts more to see how they make it difficult for producers to sow this grain, ”Tan Estrada wrote on his Facebook profile.

For the journalist it is inconceivable that “most of the basic necessities are in the stores in MLC”, while the establishments in national currency, “the one that the government pays for”, remain empty.

“It hurts to see that we are still waiting for each Cuban to drink that glass of milk that Raúl Castro promised in the morning. It hurts to see that thousands of people, mainly young people, emigrate looking for their future in other lands, because the one where we were born does not exist”.

Likewise, the young man denounced the unfortunate conditions in which many elderly people survive, whose checkbooks “barely enough for the month.”

“The indolence, the empty speeches and the achievements detained in time by those who lead us hurt every day. Cuba hurts and it hurts a lot,” she pointed out.

Criticisms similar to those made by the journalist from Camagüey have been denounced in recent years from various sectors of society.

Along the same lines, the parish priest Alberto Reyes Piasalso from Camagüey, reflected this Thursday on the lack of freedom and hope that Cubans suffer.

The priest assured that on the island the people “live without freedom, handcuffed and mute”, conditions that make prosperity and the fulfillment of dreams impossible.
