Yudelkis Ortiz, the First Secretary of the PCC in Granma, showcased on social media the delivery of a soccer ball, describing it as a moment of "special joy" for the youth of Pilón, one of the areas most affected by the recent earthquakes in southeastern Cuba.
"A moment of special joy for these young people from Pilón when they were gifted a soccer ball," highlighted the main leader of Granma on Facebook, a gesture that contrasts sharply with the serious situation in the community and underscores its disconnection from the real needs.
The images shared by Ortiz reveal how the regime uses the distribution of a simple ball as propaganda, showcasing it on social media as a supposed "revolutionary achievement," while the solution to critical issues, such as reconstruction following the recent earthquakes, progresses at a painfully slow pace.
However, this is not the first time the regime has showcased "these significant moments" on social media as if they were major solutions, attempting to ease the suffering of families affected by the earthquakes, while the underlying issues remain unaddressed.
Recently, the first secretary of the PCC in Granma presented the activities of the project “La Guaguandunga,” a name that seems to emerge from the fusion of “guagua” (bus) and “sandunga,” as a way to bring joy to various communities in the province of Granma, which were severely affected by the earthquakes recorded last Sunday.
Ortiz stated on Facebook that the project "La Guaguandunga," directed by singer and songwriter José Alberto Tamayo (El Ruiseñor), has arrived in the municipality of Pilón, one of the areas most affected by the earthquakes, presenting this as another way to assist those impacted.
Meanwhile, on social media, people are reporting abandonment following the earthquakes.
A young resident of the municipality of Campechuela, in the province of Granma, showcased some of the damages caused by the earthquakes on November 10 at her home and that of her neighbor, and denounced the lack of assistance from the authorities to the affected families.
The Cuban Shakira Castillo Pérez shared photos in the Facebook group "Somos de Campechuela" of the cracks that opened in the walls, ceilings, and structures of homes due to the impact of the earthquakes.
