A video revealing how the "improvised" meetings of Miguel Díaz-Canel with the people are organized during his trips to the interior of Cuba was shared on Facebook by journalist Mario J. Pentón.
The recording, taken in Banes, shows the security team and the state media in an outdoor location waiting for the arrival of the leader.
In the recording, the voices of other people can be heard, who were presumably brought to talk to the leader and, like on similar occasions, welcomed him with applause.
"From journalists to state workers. Everyone ready to stage an impromptu speech by Díaz-Canel in Holguín," Pentón stated.
When Díaz-Canel arrived, he began to talk about how the issue of power outages will be improving and continued with the work experiences that, according to him, work and show "the talent that exists in the people."
"The video is brutal," commented Pentón and added that it is a display of the only thing left to the regime: "the staging, the show."
In the material broadcasted by the state television, it was seen that among the group of people gathered to welcome the president, there were several children wearing their school uniforms. The first thing he did was ask them if they were enduring severe blackouts.
"We will be improving them, overcoming that situation. We are visiting this municipality as part of the monthly visits to the province," he indicated.
His words outraged dozens of Cubans. Activist Lucio Enríquez criticized him for being "more surrounded by security officers than by people" and rejected the "lackeys who laugh while he mocks the blackouts."
Díaz-Canel has been traveling through towns in the island for days, most of them very impoverished, where he is received by previously organized groups responsible for disguising the prevailing discontent among the population.
Last week, he was in Yateras, Guantánamo, where authorities mobilized dozens of militants and children to welcome him.
In the local press images, more than a hundred people could be seen celebrating the arrival of the leader, who remained surrounded by his personal guards and agents from State Security and the Ministry of the Interior.
