A Cuban reported the existence of a massive dump in the municipality of Bauta, Artemisa, right at the corner of the People's Power office.
In the video, shared by journalist Mario J. Pentón on Facebook, piles of waste can be seen accumulated just a few meters away from cafes, restaurants, and the street where the farmers' market takes place.
Neighbors claim that the situation has gone unresolved for months, and that the stench, flies, and rodents have become unbearable. It is a breeding ground for diseases, and the government does nothing, despite the speeches from Miguel Díaz-Canel and Manuel Marrero, who assert that this is a priority issue for the country.
The problem of waste affects all provinces of Cuba. However, the lack of fuel, institutional neglect, deteriorating equipment, and disorganization of communal services keep communities mired in unsanitary conditions.
The economic and political crisis in Cuba is a daily nightmare. With no food, experiencing blackouts, and surrounded by trash, Cubans are struggling to survive amidst the neglect and indifference of the State.
