Her name is Clarivel Tomás Soler and at 78 years old she lives in extreme poverty in the Buenos Aires district of Camagüey, in a ruined house with her daughter, a three-month-old baby and a seven-year-old girl.
The house, located on B#52 street, between Vagot and 1st, has a wooden interior roof, in very poor condition, and on the outside, a nylon and cardboard cover. In addition to being propped, it lets light in with the same ease with which it surely lets water through when it rains.
The images, shared by La Tijera, show basic and deteriorated furniture. According to the testimony published on Facebook, the municipal authorities are aware of the situation of Clarivel Tomás and her family, but they have been "talking about it for more than five years, giving her Vaseline and without resolving her terrible situation."
No Internet user questions the veracity of the testimony. A Facebook user, who identifies herself as Teresa Valdez, took advantage of the publication to criticize the island's authorities because "they do not sell a bag of cement to the people," while the houses continue to "deteriorate, falling and they act as if nothing had happened."
Along the same lines, Ofelia Rosa Díaz regrets that on the island's state television they only talk about MSMEs and that we must resist and do not take images like the one of Clarivel Tomás' house, in Camagüey.
In a dismayed tone, Jorge Figueredo lamented that with each passing day, Cuba sinks deeper "into misery." "To grow old is to knock on the gates of hell," he wrote in the post.
Other Internet users used the publication to give a touch to the comedian Limay Blanco, who has been dedicated to humanitarian work in Cuba for a long time.
A similar task has been carried out by the Cuban dancer and choreographer Norge Ernesto Díaz Blak, known as Noly Blak, who managed to raise money and gave a house to a child who lived in extreme poverty, along with his family, in Banes, Holguín. He slept with his parents in the same bed andHe assured that he did not want a telephone or a watch, but a house where he could rest. and do homework when returning from school.
At the beginning of this year, a group of Cuban Internet users asked for help to help a young 31-year-old mother,also from Camagüey, who lived in conditions of extreme poverty with five of his seven minor children. In this case, he lived in the Bellavista district and did not have money to support the children, with signs of malnutrition. They lived in a wooden house in uninhabitable conditions.
The situation of Clarivel Tomás is not an isolated case on the Island. In fact, the regime has already admitted that there are1,236 communities in the country that live in misery. This was recognized by the Minister of Labor and Social Security, Marta Elena Feito Cabrera, in a work meeting in which Miguel Díaz-Canel was present and in which the triumphalist speech prevailed that 96% of the cases are "in the process of integral transformation".
But the figures admitted by the Cuban authorities are far from those brought to light by the international observatory DatoWorld, which in March of last year placed Cubaat the head of poverty in Latin America, with an index of 72%, well above the next country, Venezuela (50%).
However, in its latest report on the State of Social Rights in Cuba, the Cuban Observatory of Human Rights raised the poverty rate in Cuba to 88%, 13 points above the figures recorded in 2022.
With these numbers in hand, it is not difficult to understand the reasons that have led half a million Cubans to emigrate to the United States in the last two years, breaking all historical records since the 60s, 80s and 90s of the last century.
The economic situation of the Island is so delicate that Miguel Díaz-Canel ended up dismissing the Minister of Economy, Alejandro Gil, who not only could not control inflation but also raised it to unaffordable levels for the pocket of a Cuban who lives only on one salary in Cuban pesos. He attested to it,a man from Holguín, who with a pension of 1,700 pesos,He left half his salary (860 pesos) on 10 bananas and a bomb fruit.
