Dozens of Internet users attacked the official spokesperson Humberto López, who responded to the claim launched by Ulises Toirac asking the Government transparency, commitment and responsibility in the face of official silence regarding the identity of the disappeared in the fire at the Matanzas Supertanker Base.
“There are the three things you ask for and more than enough, there is and should be an additional one, which is respect for family members and their will,” he wrote. Humberto Lopez on the comedian's Facebook wall.
“In due course, the honors due to such brave men and their heroic conduct will be reported and honored.”, the controversial communicator then added, who did not receive a direct response from Toirac but from numerous Cubans who reacted with indignation to his response.
“Humberto López, heroic behavior? Oh really? The first thing is that they force them to go to the Service and the second is that you well know that if they were there it was out of obligation, not because they wanted to be heroic or brave, they were children who did not even know what they were facing...before surrendering. honors, they and their families deserve JUSTICE...”, commented a citizen.
"Heroes choose sacrifice voluntarily (that's why they are heroes), "They sacrificed those children.", pointed out another Internet user.
"No 'honor' returns a mother her teenage son lost to the inhumanity of those who sent those boys ahead in a situation out of control. What is needed is clarity and justice, not empty honors"; "Those children and their families do not need honors, they did not want their children to be brave, they wanted them alive and the immense irresponsibility of a few leaders, look what they ended up doing," were other comments.
"The first respect for families is to respect their right not to send them to military service, IT IS NOT MANDATORY!", stated a user of the social network, focusing the focus on a topic of renewed controversy since May A diplomat denied at an event at the United Nations that Military Service is mandatory in Cuba.
"Humberto López, there are three things you are going to receive when the tyrant falls: slaps, slaps, and crackers," someone said jokingly.
Many commentators demanded that an investigation be carried out to judge those responsible for having brought inexperienced and poorly trained young people as firefighters in an accident of such magnitude as the explosion at the Matanzas Supertanker Base last Friday, August 5.
“My cousin is one of the missing people and his parents have already been officially declared dead without finding any traces, so there is something that doesn't add up, the whole family is very hurt,” lamented user Yaneisy Lhn.
"I'm about not publishing what I think. How difficult it is to deal with extremism! How difficult it is to try to argue about how to do things better, how painfully complicated to put aside anger and disagreements to reach a council. We will never have the "peace that even the most recalcitrant people shout that they want, beating themselves in the chest," wrote Ulises Toirac among the comments to his original publication, which at the close of this note has more than 2,400 reactions and 700 comments.
Although since the start of the fire the Ministry of Public Health (MINSAP) shares daily updates on the health of those injured in the accident, no official information has been released about the missing, whose identities have only emerged from shocking publications on social networks that reveal the deep pain of family and friends of the victims of the tragedy.
