Barber in medical crisis vandalizes bank branch in Santiago de Cuba.

A branch of the Popular Savings Bank, located in the area known as "La Comercial," in the José Martí Urban Center of the city of Santiago de Cuba, woke up this Sunday with broken windows due to a stone-throwing incident carried out by a young man, allegedly in a medical crisis.

The journalist Yosmany Mayeta reported the incident on Facebook, pointing out that the man has not been identified yet but, according to a source, he is a barber who has carried out stone-throwing attacks on other occasions in various places.

"It seems that they don't have medication and are going into crisis," said the person who lives near the location of the incident.

Mayeta shared a gallery of images showing the damage to the glass of the bank branch, as well as a chat screenshot in which a person reveals details that evidence the worsening crisis with cash in Santiago de Cuba.

People are stubborn, since the money coming in is given by the bank workers at 8% to those involved in cash trafficking," said the whistleblower.

Likewise, he warned about the corruption existing in this bank, since companies make deposits, a couple of people skip the line, and then the employees report that the money has run out.

He denounced that the individuals involved in drug dealing "control the line and most of the shifts belong to them."

Also, he stressed that when these acts of corruption are reported, the police do not take action, arguing that "there is no crime", and they ignore that the Penal Code penalizes illicit economic activity, speculation, hoarding, and illicit enrichment.

"The police don't get involved in that because they go with them and take their money one by one," he said.

Abuses by the Cuban police are common, as they take advantage of the uniforms they wear to act as they please, disregarding the rights of the civilian population.

Recently, a police officer, clearly abusing his authority, cut in line at a gas sales point in the city of Santiago de Cuba, bypassing people who had been waiting for hours to buy the scarce gas cylinder.

The incident, reported by Mayeta on Facebook, has unleashed a wave of outrage among social media users, pointing out that this type of abuse, where Cuban police and military personnel take advantage of their position, is a common practice in the country.
