The Cuban comedian Otto Ortiz has shared a funny post on his Facebook wall that has generated a multitude of jokes and mockery.
Otto shared a photo of the Hotel Presidente, in El Vedado, taken at night, showing that two letters are missing from the neon sign. As a result, instead of the full name, it only reads "Hot Presidente."
"There are things I don't understand, I don't know if it's a joke, I don't know if it's a lack of respect, but the truth is it shouldn't be... no matter how hot it is, it shouldn't be. I don't know, just saying," the comedian ironized.
The comments section of the post was filled with mockery towards Díaz-Canel and his wife Lis Cuesta, known—especially her—for occasionally having bursts of romanticism and filling their social media with ridiculous quotes in which they brag about their relationship.
"La Machi approves this poster," said a resident of Cienfuegos living in Toronto.
"That's my mango, the dictator of my heart," a professor joked.
"I don't know if he's hot, but the town is definitely hot because of the blackouts," pointed out an internet user.
"When the president does his thing, they won't say anything, but there will be signs," mocked a Havana resident.
"Hot? With that face, I don't think so, but even the signs are ironic," commented a self-employed woman.
"We don't know about hot! Without a house, yes!" stressed an emigrant.
"Sometimes I think they're doing it on purpose. Do you think the hotel manager hasn't noticed?" questioned a Cuban woman.
"I remember the Habana libre, it was the same and it only looked like na libre," recalled another.
What is really hot are the prices at the Presidente hotel. In 2022, a room per night with breakfast cost up to 43,600 CUP, an amount impossible for a state worker to pay.
"These are the prices of the Presidente hotel, and well? Inspectors should come and force them to sell at fair prices," stated the lawyer from Avileño, José Ángel García Veloso.
The user detailed that the price of a simple room in that hotel in dollars, at the official exchange rate of 1X120 CUP, was 184 dollars, much more expensive than staying in Dubai, where prices can range from 110 to 141 dollars per night, including breakfast.
