The Cuban broadcaster Laritza Camacho created a stir on social media again with a remark filled with sarcasm and political critique, in which she questions the absurd limits in Cuba and denounces the lack of common sense in the regime's decision-making.
In a text shared on Facebook, Camacho sarcastically commented on Monday about the government's habit of "putting a cap" on everything, from prices to external opinions, while neglecting serious structural issues such as waste, institutionalized lies, the deterioration of national understanding and the official double standards.
"And why don’t they confront the waste? Why don’t they confront the lies?" he wrote, in a questioning tone.
“It would be good if a law prevented lying about more than 0.2 megabytes… to begin with, without feeling too pressured,” emphasized the host, who in recent months has become a critical voice of the regime, but always with a quick and biting tongue.
Camacho also referred with irony to the excessive consumption of beer on beaches, the silenced critical thinking, and the common sense, which she believes is completely "blocked" in Cuba.
"We're paying a high price, a very high price for going against common sense in Cuba. In my country, they want to challenge even the most basic laws of dialectics... No qualitative or quantitative leaps allowed... Those who don't jump are Yankees, plain and simple," he said.
The most striking phrase from her speech was a metaphor about national decay: “That’s why our spiral is moving downward... like a pig's tail,” a comparison that quickly brings to mind how dire the Cuban economy and society are, as was recently observed during the sessions of parliament.
Camacho, who has gained notoriety for his satirical and direct messages, concluded with a sarcastic warning: “Dialectic? It's stuck. That's why our spiral is moving downward,” reiterating his initial metaphor to reinforce his criticism.
