Poverty is on the rise in Cuba. October 25, 2022. Blog Feliz y Saludable, San Jose Costa Rica. Cuba: High prices, lines and shortages | DW Documentary https://youtu.be/Ya46bmRa0os
Poverty is on the rise. Even the famous ingenuity of the Cuban people is reaching its limits as they try to cope with the day-to-day effects of the crisis. Images of bygone revolutionaries are fading in the streets of the capital, Havana, and all over the island. Official voices continue to broadcast the state’s ideology, but ordinary people are losing hope that things will improve.
Cuba has been subject to sanctions for decades. Despite recent attempts at reform, the country is increasingly isolated and economically dependent. A currency reform enacted in 2021 is also causing major problems, with inflation soaring and prices skyrocketing. Food is scarce, and lines in front of the few state-run stores are getting longer and longer.
In Cuba, the socialist project begun by the revolutionary hero and former president Fidel Castro is teetering on the verge of failure. The nation is sinking deeper into crisis, with many people’s daily lives marred by shortages of food, medicine, and electricity.
This is what awaits the other countries whose governments are advised by the Cubans like Venezuela and Nicaragua.
This is why we Latin Americans must be very jealous when governments make agreements with Cuba, be they for education, medicine, or worse, for the armed forces.
So that there are no excuses, this video is available on the German television channel in Spanish and other languages.
