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

An official journalist from Cuba recently visited an agricultural fair in Matanzas, describing the experience as a tour of the Old West.

Yuni Moliner recounted on Facebook her experience from last Sunday: "Consumer deception is so evident that sometimes you don't know if you are at a fair or in the Wild West," commented the journalist, denouncing the lack of government control in the organization of this commercial activity.

“There were only two kiosks selling chicken at 310 per pound, but selling like crazy,” Moliner pointed out. “Take advantage because the rest of the week the chicken plays hide and seek,” he stressed, suggesting that scarcity of that food is common in the province.

The communicator explained that while she was in line to buy mangoes, an inspector arrived "with a price list as if it were the declaration of independence," and added that, thanks to that "visit," she was able to purchase 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 evidence of the absurd policies of the regime in controlling the prices of products.

In her post and in a playful manner, the journalist also denounced two current issues of the citizenry: the regime's inability to guarantee products from the regulated basic basket and the price-capping regulations.

"As they say that two pounds of sugar are coming to the store, I went after the fruits. Happiness never comes in full, and neither does what the grocer dispatches to me," said Moliner.

The adventures this Cuban woman experienced at an agricultural fair in Matanzas do not just happen in that province.

A resident of the Sancti Spiritus province recently denounced the poor quality of a yogurt bought at a fair, which was intended to be consumed by a minor, leading 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 Spiritus, he bought a yogurt whose flavor he described as "shit with bread flour."
