A Cuban decided to send a message to his compatriots through social media, criticizing the call by the ruler Miguel Díaz-Canel to "tough out" food, and recommending that they use their courage to achieve freedom.
Hardworking Cuban, don't pay attention to Diaz-Canel, we all know he has a knack for humor. Remember the lemonade and that thing about it being ‘the base of everything’? Well, don't listen to him. You don't have to pretend to like any food. What you have to stand up for is your freedom,” the young Cuban said in his video, shared by the user @DiazVismar38292.
Recorded from the neighborhood of Canal del Cerro in Havana, the message referred to the recent words of the "continuity" leader, in which he called on Cubans to "guapear" for food (look for a way to get by) instead of waiting for subsidized food sold by the State in a rationed manner through the standard basic basket.
"We have to reach the point where this country can self-sustain in terms of food. That is what will truly give us security. Not depending on imports. But that has to be believed. And each municipality has to produce its own food. And not be thinking about what will come in through the basket," said the ruler during a recent visit to Las Tunas.
With his message, the Palace tenant once again insisted on the most important idea of his government, namely, that the responsibility for ensuring that citizens have their basic needs met lies with local governments and not with the leaders who control the centralized and planned economy of the communist regime.
"The dictatorship falls and hunger ends. The energy crisis ends. The violation of human rights ends. All the bad things, all the evils created by this dictatorship come to an end," the young Cuban said in his message.
"All the hardships that we have been receiving and enduring for so many years will end when this dictatorship falls. Don't fight over food, fight for your freedom. Down with the dictatorship. It is the only solution," concluded the young man before saying goodbye "from Canal del Cerro."
The authorities of the regime are traveling around Cuba with a message for their citizens: Cubans must start abandoning the "social contract" that is represented by the ration book and find the courage to grow their own food from the land.
The proposal by Díaz-Canel's administration is what was once called "eliminating excessive subsidies and undue gratuities," according to the language of the failed "economic and monetary ordering." The Palace of the so-called "revolution" once again repeats its favorite argument in these times. They call it "correcting distortions and reboosting the economy."
However, the discredit of the rulers and the regime's official press is increasing. Citizen backlash against the dictatorship's propaganda is growing, and more and more Cubans are using their social networks to express themselves and engage in public discussion that reinforces the emergence of a civil society independent of totalitarian power.
