Motorists from Santiago de Cuba denouncedthe increase in robberies with violence and even murders to steal their equipment and demanded that the authorities take a tough line with the thieves.
“Government of Santiago de Cuba, they are destroying the motorists and no one is doing anything to make this stop. Please, we ask the highest authorities in the province to take action on the table with these murderers and motor thieves,”asked the user Alex Mustelier, in a post published in the Facebook group “Motorcycle parts in Santiago de Cuba.”
Mustelier's publication was commented on by dozens of users who confirmed the alarming nature of the situation, reported several recent assaults, and criticized the authorities' apathy in this regard.
“Yes, bro, they told me that on Calle A and Avenida de Sueño they killed someone when the power went out yesterday, damn it,” lamented one user.
“The day before, when turning from the Palace of the Pioneers, before 9 pm they hit one of them with a pipe and took his motorbike,” reported another.
For the user Yordanka Barrera, the little action of the authorities in the face of this wave of assault contrasts with the intransigence with which they were convicted.the 9/11 protesters.
“It was easy if it was to condemn those of July 11 and now with all these assaults and murders Santiago is unable to go out on the street. What do they do? Please. government of Santiago and super president stop this now,” he ironized.
