The regime fulfilled this Thursday the old tradition of delivering a layette to the family with the first natural birth that coincides with the founding date of the Ministry of Interior (MININT), a custom that also honors the repressive body of the nation, which turns 63 years old since its creation in Sancti Spiritus.
The official newspaper Escambray reported that the girl Káterin Pérez Escobar was the beneficiary on this occasion, as she was born at two in the morning on June 6th at the Materno of the Provincial Hospital Camilo Cienfuegos, in Sancti Spíritus.
A group of fighters fulfilled the 30-year tradition of delivering a layette, "created with contributions from the fighters and civilian workers of the armed institution, to young Queen María Escobar Quesada, the mother of the little one," the news portal boasted.
According to Escambray, a handover ceremony was held that brought together several MININT military personnel, including a lieutenant colonel, as well as the hospital's top executives. The girl's father and grandparents were also present.
The news website's article did not fail to mention that a group of young officers wished happiness to the blessed parents of the girl, "who was born on the same day that the fighters and civilian workers of the Ministry of the Interior celebrate their 63rd anniversary serving the people, to whom they belong as faithful defenders of the Cuban Revolution."
Escambray shared several photos where the mentioned layette can be seen, among them various items decorated with the characters of Minnie and Mickey Mouse, symbols of children's culture in the United States.
In contrast to the celebration organized by the MININT in Sancti Spiritus, which fortuitously benefited a young person, the Cuban civil society frequently organizes collections, not only on dates indicated by the official calendar, to alleviate the precarious situation endured by many families.
Recently, a group of Cuban activists launched a petition for help for children living in extreme poverty in towns in the Sierra Maestra and other remote areas of the province of Santiago de Cuba.
Yankiel Fernández, coordinator of the Humanitarian Project Breath of Life, made a call on social media to all individuals who can collaborate with donations for children and other residents in those communities who lack the most basic necessities, such as food, clothing, and medicine.
“The images speak for themselves, I need the help of all of you,” Fernández told his followers on Facebook. “My people, we continue to collect donations for the Sierra Maestra and four more remote villages in Santiago de Cuba.”
