More than a thousand Cubans have stood up to Miguel Diaz-Canel after stating that Cuba is more democratic than the United States.
The president met this week with young pro-Castro Americans visiting Havana, and told them He assured that in Cuba there are no missing people or murders, and that there is more democracy than in the United States because the Cuban people participate and have optimism.
These statements have generated indignation among Cuban Internet users who cannot believe that a leader who has been hand-picked at the head of a country talks about democracy and participation.
“That man has to stop with so much cynicism, that is too much now. The Cuban people live submissively, they are hungry, lack medicine and many other needs and they do not even have the right to protest about their shortcomings. Where is democracy?” , a woman from Sancti Spiritus asked herself on the Facebook wall of CyberCuba where Díaz-Canel’s words were published.
“My daughter cannot make use of her right to go to another country as she pleases, because she cannot get a passport since the Ministry of Health has her ‘regulated’, that is, condemned to remain in this country until they want. “Where are your rights? It is a shame that you cannot exchange directly with this citizen,” said a resident in Santa Clara.
“Why won’t he remain mute? Because he and those around him live better than the billionaires in the USA, he will express that there is democracy here and that we are better off than there. Blackouts, lack of running water, sewage running like streams, no food , no medicines, dirty hospitals lacking resources, no public transportation and the population emigrating to the USA by the hundreds of thousands and no one comes to live in ‘their paradise’, which shows that we are governed by someone who is ignorant of the reality that the people live. “said one Internet user.
“What audacity this man has, he must think and analyze his words well before speaking. The truth is that he has serious problems, we will have to refresh his mind from what he has experienced in 64 years on the prison island, when the Cuban From birth he is indoctrinated and has no right to decide or choose,” recalled another.
“Aunt Tata tells stories, it’s the same drama from 65 years ago, there are dead people, missing people, exiled people, a gag law, if you talk about the government because you don’t agree with something, they beat you up, they imprison you for as many years as they want.” , they watch you at the door of your house and don’t let you leave, among other things. Stop telling so many lies that not even Pinocchio believes them,” said a Cuban from Miami.
“What right are you talking about if here you can’t say what you think because there is a law for everything, you can’t demonstrate peacefully because they repress you. Please, I didn’t know you and suddenly Díaz-Canel is the president of Cuba. How can you “That’s democracy at your convenience,” said one man.
“That’s why there is no cement in Cuba, because this guy has a tremendous concrete face. How he makes fun of all the Cuban people like this, so calm, not even Machi believes what this clown says,” said a father of family.
Several users regretted that American citizens travel to Cuba and meet with the leadership instead of going out into the streets and talking to ordinary people.
“The only thing they know how to do well is lie and try to continue brainwashing the useful fools, taking them to walk through the neighborhoods so that they can appreciate the misery, unhealthiness and marginality of a country that is sinking in its own manure “said a Cuban.
“What he talks about is for export and the most annoying thing is that many in other countries believe him,” another stressed.
