00:00It may be that the shutdown is necessary, but what happens is that the distribution of the shutdown cycles does not correspond to what we are experiencing.
00:13Because, for example, they are putting the current, for example, in Havana.
00:18And here we are seeing that Havana is because it is Havana and because it is a terrible place.
00:22Because here they have already removed it before the hurricane.
00:26They removed the current from 15, 20, up to 24 hours.
00:34That is, before this hurricane passed, the hurricane Rafael, passed through the province of Artemisa,
00:44Pinar del Río was already being affected by the shutdowns.
00:48Yes, yes, yes.
00:49They were extended cycles of 24 hours.
00:5124 and maybe a little more.
00:54That is, they were left for about an hour and the rest without current.
01:00Did you have any concerns regarding the shutdowns?
01:06Well.
01:07Did you miss something, some food?
01:09Not so much to me, but to my sister and my mother.
01:12They missed the products, which are definitely expensive products.
01:16They are very expensive.
01:19And you have to throw them away, practically throw them away, because ...
01:28You have no way to get them back.
01:30We have no way to get them back.
01:32There is no way to get them back.
01:35And the government system has been able to give some information to the population
01:42regarding the impact of the power service.
01:47Have you received any information?
01:50I have received information from those who have a phone.
01:53Those who do not have a phone do not know anything about where it is stopped.
01:56They do not know where the sun comes out or where the sun hides.
02:01That was for the CDR to say it.
02:06More, more, more.
02:09I was in the park and they had put a speaker.
02:13Yes.
02:14Saying that ...
02:15But I'm going to go from here to the park,
02:17which is about four kilometers from here to the park,
02:19to know what the current is like.
02:21That is, they were in the park at that time,
02:23because they were coming through the blocks saying ...
02:26To the population.
02:27To the population.
02:28So that they feel informed.
02:29Maybe 50% do not know what happened,
02:32where the cyclone passed, what it did,
02:34how many days we are going to be without power,
02:36because we are already six days after the cyclone passed.
02:39And be careful, because we will possibly be gone for a month.
02:43Your criterion regarding ...
02:47It has been terrible in relation to the way of informing the population, right?
02:55On the part of the government.
02:56There has been no one who has approached to give knowledge to the people, you say?
03:01According to here ...
03:02I have not seen the delegate stand in a block and tell us what is happening,
03:06that they do not put the current.
03:07Why don't they put the current?
03:10Here a 30 or 40% of the population cooks with electric light.
03:18And the coal?
03:19No, coal.
03:20The other day they sold coal there,
03:23it is not coal,
03:24they are selling third-rate coal.
03:26At what price?
03:27At 300 pesos per sack.
03:29350?
03:30350 pesos per sack, indeed.
03:32And do you think that is a way to solve the problem for the people?
03:37No, what they are trying to do is to shut the mouth of the people.
03:43That they look for a way to solve the problem,
03:45not to cause a little more problems.
03:47Exactly, because it was a fairly high price for the pocket of the Cuban on foot,
03:52which is already quite damaged, right?
03:54Yes, no, no.
03:55Well, these are not words that I put in your mouth,
03:57but we are trying to make a comment, right?
04:00No, but you are right.
04:02And about the drugs, in this case, the pharmacy?
04:08Don't talk to me about that.
04:09If I went to a medical shift,
04:14it was about two months,
04:16and the man attended me,
04:20and when I expected that he was going to give me a prescription
04:22to go to the pharmacy to buy the medicine,
04:24he gave me the prescription.
04:25I said, no, no, I'm going to tell you the prescription,
04:27see how you can solve it on the left,
04:32if you can solve the drug.
04:34So on the left they are selling you the drug.
04:36A bottle of, for example, of Duragina
04:40costs you almost 500 pesos, 500 or 600 pesos.
04:43From where?
04:47The situation is quite difficult.
04:49Friend, thank you very much for these words.
04:54And well, Omar Suarez Campos,
04:57press correspondent for Julio Cesar Gongo Ramillo for ADN Cuba,
05:01from the city of Pinar del Río.
