A YouTuber known on social media for his channel "Literalmente cubano" was approached by an employee of the Coppelia ice cream parlor in Havana, who urged him to turn off the camera and stop recording, arguing that the country's Constitution prohibits filming in public places.
"Hello, with your permission, at the facility you can record yourself but you cannot record the installation. It's a crime," the worker can be heard saying in the video.
After questioning the YouTuber about where he had said it, the worker replied, "in the Constitution."
Insisting on the location in the installation that was marked, the employee argued that no, it was not reflected there, but that it is in the Law and everyone has to know it.
By insisting that if a foreigner goes to Cuba and records how they are going to learn about the Constitution, the man answered: "If you go to a foreign country, you have to know the laws."
The YouTuber - who was struck by the fact that such a claim was made to him as he was already going down the stairs to leave - insisted that in public places where recording or taking photos is not allowed, it is conveniently marked universally. He emphasized that this does not exist in the Coppelia in Havana.
He also added that historically he and many other people have filmed inside the iconic ice cream parlor in Havana.
The clash ended with the YouTuber leaving the place and venting his frustration at the unusual request.
