A journalist shares their experience at a fair in Matanzas: "You don't know if you're going to the market or the Wild West."

A state journalist from Cuba recently visited an agricultural fair in Matanzas, describing the experience as a journey through the Wild West.

Yuni Moliner shared her experience from last Sunday on Facebook: “The consumer deception is so evident that sometimes you don’t know if you’re at a fair or in the Wild West,” the journalist remarked, denouncing the government's lack of oversight in the organization of this commercial activity.

"There were only two kiosks selling chicken at 310 per pound, but they were selling briskly," Moliner noted. "Take advantage of it because the rest of the week, chicken is hard to find," he emphasized, suggesting that the scarcity of this food item is common in the province.

The communicator explained that while she was in line to buy mangoes, an inspector arrived "with the price list as if it were the Declaration of Independence," and she added that, thanks to that "visit," she was able to buy the fruit at a lower price.

"But the corn they were selling for 17 was raised to 20 because that’s what the list says," another piece of evidence of the regime's absurd policies in controlling product prices.

In her post, the journalist humorously highlighted two current issues facing the public: the regime's inability to ensure the availability of essential goods and the regulations capping prices.

"As they say, two pounds of sugar are coming to the store, so I rushed for the fruits. Happiness never comes fully, and what the storekeeper gives me doesn’t either," Moliner expressed.

The experiences this Cuban woman went through at an agricultural fair in Matanzas are not unique to that province.

A resident of the province of Sancti Spíritus recently reported the poor quality of yogurt purchased at a fair, which was intended for a child. This prompted the Cuban to criticize the regime, questioning, "Do you think that's suitable for a child?"

Michel Alayon explained on Facebook that, during a fair in Sancti Spíritus, he bought a yogurt which he described as tasting like "shit with bread flour."
