Independent journalist Yosmany Mayeta Labrada published images this Tuesday showing several volumes of the Complete Works of José Martí thrown in a dump in Santiago de Cuba.
According to a post by the recognized activist on the social network Facebook, one of his followers wrote to him and sent images of books discarded outside a basic secondary school located in Reparto Sueño.
According to the message, students pass by the place daily without any measures being taken regarding it. The school is located on Calle 6, between E and G, very close to the Faculty of Medical Sciences #1.
A couple of weeks ago, a dumpster caught fire in the vicinity of the "La Plaza" market on Aguilera Street in Santiago de Cuba, a city where waste management is in crisis.
This incident follows several fires set by residents of that area, who, due to the inadequate collection of solid waste in the province, have decided to set fire to the dumps as a desperate measure, reported Mayeta himself.
Last April, a social media user shared a photograph taken in front of the Museum of the Revolution (former Presidential Palace of Cuba) in which a poster featuring the image of the late dictator Fidel Castro was seen lying next to a trash container.
The photo was taken by the content creator identified as Luis Luisovich Jañez on Facebook, and highlights the contrast between the place where the propaganda sign was located (the trash) and the building of the Museum of the Revolution led by Castro.
In 2021, another photograph surfaced showing two old membership cards of the Union of Young Communists (UJC) thrown in the street alongside several old papers, which went viral on social media. Facebook user Guille Oscariz shared the image on his wall.
