00:00In the early hours of today, here in my home, the officials of the State Security arrived
00:11because I am claiming with all due right the water service, which the aqueduct has denied us for more than 20 days.
00:24And then they came here, imposing that I was going to be taken to the Ministry of the Interior
00:35because I am simply claiming the right to water.
00:41They threatened my daughter that if the publication came out on her phone, she would be decommissioned.
00:50I am currently denouncing, and for a while now, the director of the aqueduct, Cantariado,
00:58for not doing his duties as they should, as a provincial director.
01:04On this street here, Calle Quinta, on July 26th, they didn't put water for more than 20 days,
01:14and every month the same story.
01:16However, two blocks from here, in Cuatro Caminos, they put water every two days.
01:27They charge me that I am guilty and that I am summoning people.
01:34I have never summoned anyone.
01:36I have a voice to make my social claim, as it is my duty,
01:43that they have never put water here because they don't feel like it,
01:49as a director of the aqueduct and Cantariado in the province of Pinar del Río.
01:54They have never put water here because they don't feel like it,
01:58and they want to start it against me,
02:01because I am simply claiming a right that corresponds to me as a Cuban citizen in this country,
02:08that internationally the right to water is allowed.
02:12It is a right.
02:14It is a right that every citizen has in this world, not only in this country.
02:21So they want to start it against me because I am claiming a right.
02:25Aqueduct and Cantariado are the culprits,
02:28the directives of the provincial and municipal authorities are the culprits
02:32that there is no delivery to the population as it should be.
02:44I am denouncing Aqueduct and Cantariado for murder,
02:48for not giving the right to the people to have the water cycle as it should be.
02:59Do you understand?
03:00You come to my house threatening me that I will be arrested, that I will be arrested,
03:05because I am making my claim.
03:08What is happening here?
03:10There is tremendous fear.
03:13There is tremendous fear of repression.
03:15I am not afraid of repression.
03:18Demanding my right in time and shape,
03:21I am not afraid of repression.
03:25In other places they put the water constantly.
03:29Constantly.
03:30Every day they put it, every 24 hours they put it.
03:33However, for this piece of road here,
03:35which is called Quinta Street,
03:38in the Cubalina district, in quotation marks, because Cuba is not free,
03:42they don't put it for more than 20 days, almost 30 days.
03:47I am denouncing the director of Aqueduct and Cantariado
03:51from the province of Pineda del Río.
03:53In this case, in the municipality of Pineda del Río,
03:56for not doing their functions as they should.
03:59That is my demand.
04:02Down with the company Aqueduct and Cantariado.
04:08I don't give a damn about the party, I don't give a damn about the government,
04:11I don't give a damn about the revolution.
04:14I, Omar Suarez Campos, from here, from my house,
04:17look, in my house, I am not on the street.
04:20The street is out there, from my house.
04:23For not doing my job as a Cuban citizen.
04:29A bastard, a son of a bitch,
04:32who is the director of Aqueduct and Cantariado,
04:35who is justifying that there are engines that are putting it on.
04:40They have been saying that for 40 years.
04:43Because a directive came to my house from the government and the province
04:48for me to sign a decree,
04:51a document that they were going to lower the cycle every 7 days.
04:55They are shameless.
04:58They are corrupt and they are liars.
05:01I am responsible for Aqueduct and Cantariado,
05:04the director of Aqueduct and Cantariado,
05:07who is selling water pipes to the population,
05:10who says that there are no conditions,
05:13there is nothing to give water to the population,
05:16and yet he is selling water pipes to the population,
05:19here in Pinar del Río.
05:22That is the real situation we have with water here.
05:25The real situation we have with water here is that.
05:30From the city of Pinar del Río,
05:33for ADN Cuba, Omar Suarez Campos, independent journalist.
