This is how they live: Distanced from hardships—outside of them and with their own legality—live the high-ranking leaders and members of the ruling class in Cuba.
From a position of opulence, comfort, luxury, and ease, they proclaim their empty slogans and demand that the people live amid poverty and misery, suffocated by absurd laws, cumbersome bureaucratic procedures, rampant corruption, and a lack of everything.
The true owners of Cuba demand sobriety from the opulence and enjoyment of comforts reserved exclusively for the most ardent defenders of the regime. They are the prime examples of the double standard in Cuba and the genuine architects of the crisis and despair in which the Cuban people find themselves.
