The Castro dictatorship has told the Cuban people they will not be able to supply rationed coffee or cooking oil in September. It is the second consecutive month the Cuban regime has been unable to deliver these two basic items, leaving the population to fend for itself and find the products on the black market.
The shortages of the products that the government regulates for its population will continue during the month of September, during which Cubans will stop receiving coffee and oil. There are shortages in the distribution of sugar, and the pounds of the remaining products will not be fulfilled for another consecutive month, while the authorities continue to call for “creative resistance.”
According to Betsy Díaz Velázquez, Minister of Domestic Trade, who explained to official media, in Cuba “we do not have any plans for the month of September, just as there were none in August, for either oil or coffee.”
While the Cuban people go without food, electricity, water, and fuel, the Cuban government has dedicated the majority of its resources to tourism in search of hard currency to fund its survival. Meanwhile, the food shortages that have plagued the island continue to worsen, as Cubans take the brunt of the communist regime’s incompetence and corruption. This is socialism in action.
Paging the “diaspora”! Paging the “diaspora”! But it’s OK. Everyone knows the drill. It’s an old drill.
