A complaint published by the official newspaper Venceremos has once again highlighted the serious deterioration of urban infrastructure in Cuba and the institutional indifference towards risks that directly threaten the lives of citizens.
According to the Guantanamo media, those passing through Los Maceo Street, between Donato Mármol and Bernabé Varona, are at risk of a possible accident due to the poor condition of the exterior cornice of the Nguyen Van Troi Language School, a colonial-style building located in a high pedestrian traffic area.
The structure, according to the publication and the images shared, is partially detached from its anchorage, which poses an imminent danger to students, workers, and passersby. The deterioration is visible and alarming, with no concrete actions reported so far for its repair or safety.
It is striking that the institution, regarded as "prestigious" within the local education system, even lacks an identifying sign, a detail that reinforces the perception of neglect and a lack of systematic maintenance.
Beyond this specific case, the complaint confirms a widespread reality across the Island: thousands of buildings, schools, hospitals, and homes are at risk of collapse due to decades of lack of investment, poor management, and the prioritization of resources for political propaganda over public safety.
In cities like Havana, Santiago de Cuba, Guantánamo, and other provincial capitals, cornices, balconies, and facades frequently collapse, often only after causing avoidable tragedies. Warnings, even when they come from state media, often go unaddressed.
While the regime insists on triumphalist speeches and projects that have little impact on daily life, the basic infrastructure of the country continues to deteriorate, turning streets, schools, and public buildings into permanent risk environments for Cuban families.
