The Castro regime asks the World Food Program for help

HAVANA, Cuba.- In the midst of the incredible landslide that Cuba has been suffering for years, it is not surprising that situations that are actually exceptional and should be classified as such are seen as normal. It is about the fact that we suffer what I think we could call “daily life of misery.”

This is what happens, for example, with the detailed daily reports on the electro-energy situation. In any moderately rational country, it is normal for there to be electricity; The topic becomes news when, exceptionally, a blackout occurs. In Cuba, Castro-communist propaganda aims to do the opposite: turn the simple supply of electricity (even if it is bad and intermittent) into news.

This consideration is relevant because a few hours ago news emerged that should provoke astonishment and even indignation among citizens, but which, in the midst of the prevailing calamitous situation, some tend to see as necessary and fair support. I am referring to the request addressed by the Cuban regime to the UN World Food Program (WFP) to be able to satisfy the meager quotas of rationed milk that, according to established standards, should be delivered to the children.

The WFP

A cursory search on the WFP website (wfp.org), informs us that its members boast that they classify it as “the largest humanitarian organization in the world.” They also point out their reason for being and the meaning of their work: “We bring life-saving food to people displaced by conflicts and impoverished by disasters.”

A specific section of the portal directs us to specific countries that are facing food emergencies. They include territories that have suffered long internal wars, such as Afghanistan, northeast Nigeria, Syria, Sudan or Yemen. Also others that border the desert, such as the African Sahel. Or that they have suffered external aggression, such as Ukraine, which, as a result of the brutal Putin onslaught, has ceased to be “the Breadbasket of Europe” and has become a country in need of food aid. Among those from America, only starving Haiti was included in that section.

Will it now be up to our Cuba—once known as “the Pearl of the Antilles”—to add its name to that catalog of destitution and embarrassment! If we pay attention to the declared objectives of the WFP that I have cited above, we would have to ask ourselves: what “disaster” has there been in our country!; What “conflict” have we been the scene of!…

The prolonged disaster

However, it is inappropriate for us to belittle the calamities suffered by this Great Antille at the hands of Castro-communism. I think that, thinking about it, it would not be an exaggeration to say that yes, our beautiful Cubita has suffered, for almost two thirds of a century, a true and very prolonged disaster: The enthronement, maintained at all costs and increasingly deepened by the calamitous socialism dirigiste and bureaucratic.

Although the news was known on February 28, it was also learned that, according to EFE, the formal request was sent “at the end of last year.” Despite the couple of months that have passed since then, the regime in Havana has considered it pertinent to remain silent on the matter: it has neither informed its citizens about it nor issued the “official clarification” requested by the Spanish news agency.

Then, our little island, hand in hand with the representatives of “Continuity”, will continue its journey as an international beggar. This facet of her activity has already led her to receive help from countries like Vietnam. It is a reality whose mere statement represents an enormity, which should fill the ventrudos with shame. songs from Havana.

Food insecurity

A journalistic work published this Thursday, in these same pages, by Miriam Leiva, attempts to answer a question that I dare to describe as somewhat misleading: “What do the children of ‘continuity’ feed with”? The downspout puts, as they say, its finger on the sore spot: “Cuban parents suffer food insecurity for their children from birth.”

The colleague, in a tight summary, tries to list all the difficulties that the parents of the Island face in this regard. He mentions the substitutes that are used to replace the supply of fresh milk (virtually disappeared), wheat flour, the tiny quotas of meat products, eggs and compotes… One of the conclusions, although pious, is accurate: “The future is really uncertain due to insufficient national production and the ruin of Cuba.”

It is in this way that our Homeland, hand in hand with “the Diazcanelista Continuity”, continues its constant and increasingly rapid march towards definitive collapse. Meanwhile, the regime’s representatives and chatterboxes seem to want to emulate Nero singing to burning Rome. They scream that “no one will be left helpless” and, against all reasonable evidence, they assure that “it is possible.” Anything but recognizing that the system implemented and maintained by them for decades is unviable!
