Zenaida Romeu reported on her Facebook profile that this Wednesday the authorities prevented her and the members of the Camerata Romeu from delivering donations to those affected by the tornado in Regla, one of the municipalities most affected by the tornado last Sunday.
In an image shared by Zenaida you can see how the Police forced them to leave the place.
According to what he said, they were impressed with so much solidarity in the midst of the catastrophe until the head of the municipal government prevented them from continuing.
"Quietly, we left in each home what we considered most useful and necessary for them. Suddenly, upon returning through a corridor among rubble that led to devastated homes (where we found strong men who cried in front of us when they saw our human gesture) we found the presence of the head of government of the Regla municipality who prohibited us from continuing with our personal and silent help," he said.
"He asked the police to "accompany" us out of Regla and a dozen of them surrounded us, preventing us from continuing to deliver children's clothes, water, bread, coats, quilts, shoes, towels, detergent, soaps... from our own money. without posters, without press, in silence without crowds, respectfully and organizedly," he added.
The artist denounced what happened and described how they had been treated like "criminals."
"It's a shame. My mother was born in that village. She had beautiful childhood memories. Nobody has authority there or anywhere, much less use it to take away the possibility of helping others," he questioned.
"I don't think it is an alternative either for us Cubans or for any people in the world," he concluded.
Several Cubans have reported similar events since yesterday. Videos sent exclusively to our editorial staff show how officers denied people the ability to deliver their aid.
