The Cuban official journalist Fidel Díaz Castro attacked the poor functioning of the popular ice cream parlor Coppelia and proposed to give it “to the FAR”, which generated an avalanche of comments, many of them critical of considering this the solution.
“Coppelia cannot be fixed. My proposal is to give it to the FAR”Díaz Castro declared this Thursday on Facebook, a social network where he identifies himself as “Eldiablo Díaz.”
Next, the journalist recounted a recent visit to the establishment where - as he explained - there was "a gigantic queue" despite there being about 20 empty tables, something that the custodian of the place would have justified by saying to the employees "They have lunch hours from 12 to 3 in the afternoon.”
“I went to take photos and the custodian forbade me, I explained that it was press and he denied it. I explained to him that the press has access to the places, that this is not a military unit and he continued in total denial."concluded Fidel Díaz Castro, who did not elaborate in the text on his idea of giving Coppelia to the FAR, although he did specify that the custodian who did not want to identify himself was covering the field at 21 and N at the time of the incident.
Eldiablo Díaz's publication generated dozens of comments, a group abounding in the irremediable disaster that is Coppelia and others questioning or directly reproaching the communicator that the solution is to hand over the management of the popular establishment to the military.
“It kills me that they don't learn from History. The military with the most power, with all the Power? The truth is that we are lost, if they continue like this. “It is recent history in Latin America, to quote what I know,” lamented independent journalist Marta María Ramírez; a position supported by other Internet users, including one who described it as “reckless” for a journalist to promote such a solution.
“Why should the army control the production and marketing of ice cream and desserts? “Fucko…”, questioned a social network user.
“The bad thing about giving it to the FAR is that they forget that it is not a military unit nor are the subordinate clients”; “If you give it to the FAR, you're not even going to take the photos and it's 5 years for complaining. Better let's create a cooperative and give it back to the people, an efficient state is more complicated...”, said two other Internet users who agreed that the proposed solution is not adequate.
“Giving it to the FAR would not end the problem, in fact you wouldn't even be able to complain. Militarism has already done enough harm"said someone following the same tone, to which another resigned responded that "sIf they control the little and poor economy that we still have, what difference does it make if they control the lines for the croquettes?
Several comments abounded in corruption, diversion and resale of vats on the left as an old evil endemic to Coppelia, which means that “any demand from the public does not give them any heat or cold.”
There was no shortage of those who believed that “Coppelia” is, neither more nor less, “the summary of the Cuban economy,” as well as recommendations to privatize the place or hand it over to a cooperative.
"What hypocrisy!...do you really think that Coppelia is the problem?" questioned a man...who then attacked official journalism.
"I would love to see these journalists with that same enthusiasm enter the stores in MLC, the shortage of stores in MN, the lack of materials for the construction of homes while luxury hotels are inaugurated, etc...etc.. .but nooo...the problem is the Coppelia (you have to catch someone with someone)", he said.
After remaining closed for a few months due to the epidemiological situation associated with the coronavirus and in order to avoid crowds, the ice cream parlor It reopened its doors in September 2021 but by telephone reservation, for which three numbers were enabled.
That solution ended up generating endless complaints, which is why at the end of January Coppelia resumed its normal operation, that is, entry to the facility on a first-come, first-served basis and without the need for a telephone reservation, something that, apparently, also implied a return to old evils.
The comedian Otto Ortiz already anticipated it in 2019: "There are two things in this life that cannot be fixed: death and Coppelia."
What do you think?
