Cuba is going through one of the worst Eocene crises in its history, which has made the shortage of certain foods and products worse. Added to all this is the corruption that exists among those in power, who are supposed to ensure the well-being of the people.
According to the mayor Cuban Newspaperone of these cases is being seen in the province of Holguín, since the edible oil that has been arriving from Santiago de Cuba has been adulterated with water.
Anonymous sources from the province of Santiago de Cuba reported on the situation.
The aforementioned media affirms that the shipment of oil that arrived at the City of Parks had been considerably reduced with water.
“They detected that the oil they took from the factory here to Holguín was half water and half oil,” said this person, who also pointed out that the case was already being investigated by the authorities.
The adulterated oil was produced by the Edible Oil Refining Company in Santiago de Cuba and is distributed in bulk to different eastern provinces, including Holguín, to later be sold in supply warehouses.
The media consulted with sources in Holguín, who could not confirm that the oil was adulterated, suggesting that the problem was detected before it left Santiago de Cuba.
In that sense, the Holguín source points out that it would be very difficult to analyze the oil, since it has stopped arriving monthly.
“This year the oil only came in the month of February and April… there is a lot of talk on the street that they are selling invented oil, which is only oil, the top and bottom is a yellow liquid,” he said.
For now, the Castro authorities have not publicly acknowledged the situation, despite already investigating what happened, possibly to prevent independent media from reporting it.
However, the situation could change if they discover how those responsible have been able to carry out these robberies without anyone finding out, since the official media likes to propagandize this type of events, as happened recently with a criminal network detected in Santiago from Cuba, which stole tons of products from the basic basket.
While the authorities celebrated with great fanfare the fact that the network was arrested, the press left out important points such as the fact that almost 80 people, who were supposed to be trusted, were involved.
