"I am within my rights and that is what Miguel Díaz-Canel said," said the young woman in reference to statements by the Cuban leader in which he stated that themothers with 3 or more children, the State must prioritize the subsidy to fix their homes.
This woman had to leave the house where she lived with her family because she lived with many people plus her three children.He has been living with them for a year in an office, without a bathroom or kitchen..

“I feel scared, for myself and my children. I know that today I am speaking and tomorrow they are going to come and continue harassing me. I can't leave because I have nowhere to go. What the Cuban government is doing to me is an abuse,” this Cuban woman said, deeply hurt.
The housing problem in Cuba seriously affects both the municipalities and rural areas as well as the most important cities in the country.. There are no rental options and when they appear the prices are so high that it is impossible to pay it with a salary in national currency.
The government does not resolve the situation, the collapses accumulate year after year andMore and more families are starting to occupy empty and neglected premises of the State.
