A neighbor from El Vedado denounced that in that Havana neighborhood they have to wait in lines until dawn to buy bread in state establishments.

“This is Cuba, Vedado. Bakery at 9 e/ J and I. If you want to eat bread (that is not the eyesore of the quota), that 220g at 70 pesos, you must stand in line from 10 pm to buy fresh bread at 2 am. And don't even imagine optimal quality, that was forgotten. “Every day there are fewer options,”Briseida Hernández denounced, in the Facebook group El Vedado de Hoy.

Recently the video ofa long line in Santiago de Cuba to buy croquette dough.

A few days ago, images went viral of how, between shouts and shoving, a group of Cubans showed their despair and indignation at the disorganization and the presence of resellerswhile waiting in line to buy disposable diapers in a state store in Havana.

In September, videos were released of the long queue that consumers must wait in Santiago de Cubato buy the quota bread, which also has terrible quality.

In the video, people were seen in a line so long that it left the sidewalk and crossed the entire street.

In July, for his part, the Cuban professor and journalist José Luis Tan Estrada showed on his networksa huge line in Camagüey also to buy bread for 75 pesosin state markets, after almost a week without selling the regulated basic basket.
