A video shared on Alexis Matalobos' TikTok account (@alexismatalobos4) highlights the harsh conditions many Cuban families face when trying to perform basic tasks, such as doing laundry.
The viral post features a family from the island using an old, clearly deteriorated washing machine as they struggle to clean their clothes.
The video reflects the daily reality of many families in Cuba, where access to modern and well-functioning appliances is a luxury that few can afford.
In the video, there is a text that comments with resignation and anger: "This is how communism is lived in Cuba in 2024. We are in the caves. Díaz-Canel, you wretch. Communism is misery."
This social media post has resonated deeply with TikTok users, who express their outrage over the precarious living conditions of thousands of Cubans in the 21st century.
The comments are filled with solidarity, but also with frustration, as some users recall how this situation reflects the limitations and challenges faced by Cubans on the island daily.
"How sad," "The harsh reality of the Cuban," or "It hurts me so much for Cuba and its people," have been some of the reactions from users.
In the context of the economic crisis the country is facing, access to basic goods and services has become increasingly limited, directly affecting the quality of life of the population.
The inability to renew or repair appliances such as washing machines, refrigerators, or stoves has led many households to rely on old devices or traditional methods, resulting in physical and emotional strain for families.
The phrase "we are in the caves" used in the video not only serves as a critique of the current government but also reflects the sense of neglect and stagnation that many people on the island feel.
