“But in Cuba it has always been like this. The salary was never enough for anything. So this is not new. It's been since the year 90,” wrote one user.
Question that motivated the response of the creator of the video to tell her that it is “real that has never reached anything, what is new and every day worse is the unsustainable situation”.
Another person said that after recently visiting the island “I arrived in Spain super depressed, I can't even eat, know how our people are, it's hard.”
