The escape in France of the Cuban handball players Arisleydi Márquez, Yudisaday Rodríguez, Melisa Arias and Geidy Maceo and of the sports shooting athlete Mitchell Onel Orellana Rodríguez turned on the red lights in the ruling party. In the last week, five Cubans took advantage of stays abroad to escape, bringing the number of athletes who have done so this year to 29.
This Saturday at the Palace of the Revolution, during the flag of the delegation who will represent the Island at the XXIV Central American and Caribbean Games, to be held from June 23 to July 8 in El Salvador and the Dominican Republic, Miguel Díaz-Canel reminded the athletes of the “effort” to “prepare” them in the midst of the adverse “economic conditions” that the country is going through, however, he omitted to mention the desertions. Perhaps a last resort to prevent further leaks.
Hours before Díaz-Canel asked the Cuban athletes to “put their heart into it”, in Paris (France) the withdrawals of the handball players Márquez, Rodríguez, Arias and Geidy Maceo were confirmed. The athletes separated from the team that had a terrible Pre-World Cup participation in Greenland by being left out of the representations that will play the world championship, which will take place from November 29 to December 17.
