Ulises Toirac criticizes recent Cuban laws: They create the foundations for greater corruption.

"If they applied that same determination to prohibiting and founding crimes to producing and exporting, emigration would occur because we wouldn't be able to fit in national territory with the amount of goods there would be."

The comedian Ulises Toirac criticized the recent decree issued by the Council of Ministers, which prohibits a total of 125 economic activities for private small and medium enterprises, non-agricultural cooperatives, and self-employed workers.

In a text shared on his Facebook wall, Ulises recalled an old joke about a husband who, upon discovering that his wife is cheating on him on their own couch, decides to throw the couch away. For him, the government adopts the same attitude towards its problems.

"What they ultimately end up prohibiting is the private enterprise of the majority," he stated, before referring to the disrespect for the legal framework that exists in the country, where "the Constitution can be negated by laws, and laws can be negated by... an invisible and omnipotent superior entity."

The actor expressed his disbelief at the government's hatred towards those who engage in importing goods for sale (the so-called mules) and specified that they should not be considered the "archenemy of the State."

"If mules brought shit that no one buys because they sell it in stores, they would go extinct faster than velociraptors. Isn't it simpler for them to pay an import tax and that's it? The State wins, the mule wins, and the people win because they have somewhere to buy or someone to order from... Is committing a crime easier?" she questioned.

Toirac also referred to the regime's new attack on the so-called "Weekly Package," a mix of entertainment consisting of movies, shows, series, soap operas, etc., that circulates through digital media on the Island, and which is now expressly prohibited by Decree 107 of the Council of Ministers.

"Another tarrú husband with a sofa: make good television, period. The 'paqueteros' are starving. And what do they sell? Not what they want, they sell what they are asked for. Is it of poor cultural quality? Ask yourselves what it obeys," he emphasized.

"And so it goes. It is not a problem of prohibiting what you cannot do and creating all the foundations for greater corruption as well. Jone, if they put that effort into prohibiting and founding crimes in producing and exporting, emigration would be because we wouldn't fit in national territory due to the amount of things there would be," he concluded.
