00:00 I am Ibelicia Costa, a member of Cuba Democrática and I am here to expose...

00:06 Madam, tell me your name.

00:08 Barbara de la Caridad Perez Ferra.

00:10 Barbara Caridad, show me your situation.

00:12 From the house.

00:14 From the house and the situation, we are going to put it there.

00:16 And you told me that you are blind, losing your sight for a long time.

00:21 They operated on me 7 or 8 years ago.

00:24 8 years.

00:25 They operated on me.

00:26 This eye, I have not closed it.

00:28 I don't see with the eye.

00:30 You told me that you have a blind son.

00:32 Yes.

00:33 And what other situation do you have with your father?

00:35 My father is always blind.

00:37 My father is over 80 years old.

00:39 Look at him.

00:40 He is walking on the street.

00:42 A little light does not enter here.

00:43 No social assistance?

00:44 Nothing.

00:45 Nothing.

00:46 Look, here is a cold.

00:48 Yes, look at this, it is broken.

00:50 And the house gets wet, you also told me.

00:52 No, they gave us a little fiber.

00:54 They gave you a little fiber.

00:55 Yes, they put a little fiber.

00:56 So, Titi, there is no TV here.

00:58 Well, you are watching.

00:59 There is no TV.

01:00 And the fundamental thing you told me, there is no social assistance from anyone, the delegate, no one.

01:04 No, no, no.

01:05 No one has come here.

01:06 I have not done anything, my life, nothing.

01:07 Oh, boy.

01:08 Some vulnerable people like you with problems of sight, of the third age, all those things.

01:14 Look, I did everything, look.

01:15 Yes.

01:16 So, here, let's say, I'm asking for a lemon.

01:21 Lemon, that's right.

01:22 In your situation.

01:23 I'm asking for a lemon.

01:24 They are vulnerable people.

01:25 What do you do with that situation you have?

01:27 And the current, my daughter, and the situation of the current.

01:29 You have to cook with firewood, for sure.

01:31 With firewood, go back there.

01:32 With firewood.

01:33 I cook with firewood.

01:34 With firewood.

01:35 Because I don't have a little equipment, I don't have anything.

01:36 Nothing, they haven't given you anything.

01:37 Nothing, but with what am I going to buy?

01:39 With what money?

01:40 And they are going to buy you, who have no dollars, they don't earn anything.

01:43 No, no, no, we don't earn anything.

01:46 Likewise.

01:47 Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing.

01:49 To what falls from heaven.

01:50 From heaven.

01:51 You help, speaking psychologically, like.

01:53 So my son, listen, is blind.

01:56 He is blind too, you told me.

01:58 Blind, that look, he doesn't even see the phone number.

02:00 So he is with a friend, carrying a little merchandise, more or less.

02:05 Yes, yes.

02:06 Looking for something.

02:07 Yes, then, they have to bring him here.

02:11 To survive, because he is married to a woman, with a little girl of one year.

02:16 But she can't work.

02:18 If she could work, if I could take care of that girl, I would take care of her.

02:23 Exactly.

02:24 How am I going to take care of that girl when that girl is going to go back there and I don't see her.

02:27 And for the candle, tell me, if there are dangers here in the field, if an example.

02:31 To light the candle?

02:32 Yes, I want to tell you.

02:33 My father doesn't light it.

02:34 Ah, well, your father sees better.

02:36 My father does see better, more or less, you understand me.

02:39 So these days he planted a pumpkin back there.

02:42 Let's see the little fire there, there, show it.

02:46 Yes, let's see it.

02:48 Look, look at this.

02:52 Look how she has to walk, look.

02:55 To the tent.

02:56 To the tent, look, grabbing the walls.

02:58 Of course, son, if I don't see anything.

03:00 Look, look.

03:01 There.

03:02 There where they cook.

03:03 With two stones.

03:04 Vulnerable people, with the age they are, tell me.

03:06 And without any economic help of any kind.

03:09 Of nothing, here of nothing.

03:10 That's why we reporters have to exist to show the reality of social cases.

03:14 Of nothing.

03:16 Look, of nothing.

03:17 This is not easy, my son.

03:18 Of nothing.

03:19 And there is no medical help either.

03:20 Of nothing.

03:21 And another thing, what do you do with the bread mess and the situation that bread has?

03:25 A little bread only for my father.

03:26 For my father.

03:27 I only keep it for tomorrow.

03:28 Because he is the oldest person here.

03:29 Yes, I only keep it for tomorrow.

03:31 Look, today, as the bread came twice a day, today he has not eaten anything.

03:35 He has not had breakfast.

03:36 He has not had breakfast, my son.

03:37 And milk, not to mention that price, which is almost 200 pesos a liter.

03:40 This is not easy.
