Dozens of Cubans reacted indignantly to the new trip of President Miguel Díaz-Canel and his wife Lisa Cuesta to Russia, and recalled that while the ruling class spends thousands of dollars on tours, "here we are between blackouts and shortages."
"Those who travel the most, they must be selling clothes for sure, they spend their lives from plane to plane and the people in hunger and eternal misery," commented an Internet user to a publication of CyberCuba about the president's trip to Moscow, in the context of the inauguration of the fourth term of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
"Here we are Cubans on foot between blackouts, shortages of medicines, food at crazy prices and them spending dollars and euros," said another.
Also in the president's publications in and the benefits of "business" with Russia are nowhere to be seen, said a Cuban.
"Are the blackouts going to end? Will there be bread in the warehouses? Will there be food in the stores? Will Cubans receive their salary in dollars?" asked another.
The island's population, which suffers from constant blackouts, food shortages and rampant inflation, also questions Cuesta's trips, who according to the president himself "she is not first lady", but officially as such; despite the fact that he does not have any position within the official delegations.
During their visit to Russia, the representatives of the Havana regime visited the Monument to Fidel Castro, in the Plaza that bears his name, in the Sokol District in Moscow, and a meeting with Putin is planned, of which no details have been revealed.
It is Díaz-Canel's third trip to Russia and according to the Cuban Foreign Ministry, "to address priorities of the bilateral agenda."
