Located on the road to Playa Girón and near the National Highway, the Pío Cua de Jagüey Grande was remodeled after another ravenous fire suffered at the end of July of last year, presumably caused by a short circuit.

In contrast to that first incident that was echoed by the official media, this second fire remains strangely secretive while the population of Jagüey Grande lives in a state of agitation and rumors after the police operations carried out in the town against business owners of MSMEs.

After the second fire in the Pío Cua of Jagüey Grande, three people were arrested accused of having caused it, as reported by its administrator in the Facebook group 'Yo amo Jagüey'. Suney San Román.

This second fire, like the first, provoked comments from users who suspected that the incident could be intentional and motivated as a form of protest against the regime and the owners of GAESA, a conglomerate belonging to the new "oligarchy" of the so-called "continuity."

Rumors in that sense were heard again after the police operation that shook the town last Thursday, and in which searches and alleged seizures were carried out in the MSMEs THT (Tres Hermanos Tabares) and Rápido y Rico.

According to a publication from the independent media The Watcher of Cuba, it was rumored among the population that the police operation was related to alleged drug trafficking and child prostitution. Apparently, the owner of THT would have links with other businessmen in Cienfuegos, a city where a police operation with similar characteristics was also carried out.

Likewise, the independent media echoed the rumors that point to an alleged connection between the owner of Rápido y Rico and “the bodyguard grandson of Raul Castro, called Raúl Guillermo Rodríguez Castro, but better known as "El Cangrejo", another member of the Castro clan known for his eccentricities and displays of his high standard of living.

In the same area of speculation, other residents of the town told said media that the Mipyme THT “fell into disgrace, either because of child prostitution, drugs, or because of some link with the payment to those who burned down for for the second time in a few months, the Pío Cua parador, on the road from Jaguey to Playa Girón, whose author is already arrested.”
