Lis Cuesta, wife of Cuban leader Miguel Díaz-Canel, has once again seen the speck in someone else's eye, ignoring the beam in her own. This Tuesday, the dictator's wife expressed her sorrow over the conflict in the Middle East and posted on social media X (formerly Twitter) a comment accompanied by a video showing the effects of the war with which Israel has responded to the attack by Hamas terrorists: "A generation is being destroyed in Gaza; there are no schools," the first lady pointed out, without mentioning that many schools in Cuba have started the school year without maintenance. Among them is the Holvein Quesada primary school in the Santa Amalia neighborhood of the Arroyo Naranjo municipality in Havana, which has suffered a partial collapse.
Reactions to Díaz-Canel's wife's comment were swift. One of the most forceful replies came from an internet user who identifies himself as Julio Suárez: "How many generations have you broken without bombs, with sticks and repression; without the freedom to choose who governs? You have been destroying a country for nearly a century. That's why there is such great poverty, because you want everything for yourselves."
In the same line, La Mulata's profile shot: "This is how Cuba is, but without people picking up debris. They are destroying the country, families, hopes, and dreams. Don't look at the speck in someone else's eye. Don't blame the United States anymore; the 'blockade' is just restrictions because you don't pay taxes and want everything for free."
User Charly was blunt in his response to Díaz-Canel's wife: "You dictators have destroyed more than three generations, watching as Cuba falls apart without allowing them to touch what is falling. In addition to the millions who die of hunger and separation."
The internet user Jícama saved his words and illustrated a phrase ("Cuba is being destroyed") with photos of collapses on the Island. For his part, Chiny9901 replied: "In Cuba there are no schools, no books, no teachers, and I don’t see you denouncing or demanding your husband to step up for this and admit that they have our country in absolute misery. I don’t care about Gaza. I care about Cuba. Stop looking the other way, hypocrite."
After this review in which, in essence, Cubans lamented that the First Lady does not acknowledge, as internet user Javier SB points out, that "Cuba is worse than Gaza."
According to the Observatory of Human Rights (OCDH), 89% of the Cuban population lives in poverty. Seven out of ten Cubans have stopped having breakfast, lunch, or dinner due to lack of money or food shortages, but Lis Cuesta does not report this.
