The Blockade does exist! A Facebook user attacks one of our worthy peasants because he updated his frame in the profile photo in which he requests the removal of the BLOCKADE.

Next, as part of those ungrateful who, as José Martí said, only see the spots of the sun, he uses mean images and arguments, typical of someone who would seem not to love his land, treacherously harassed in which at least friends still live, with whom insurance shared youth and childhood.

He should know, I think, a little more about his history or find out about a reality that comes to him distorted. The Blockade does exist! ? and it is there subliminally in the same photos that he uses.

He should know, as well as some others around the world that amid the global pandemic it is inhumane to apply sanctions that threaten the normal development of a country; the blockade must stop, it is inhuman and has lasted too long with the sad balance of human lives losses due to limitations to access to medicines and treatments.

I would like to inform this Facebook user, regarding this, that in the midst of a deep economic crisis impacted by the intensification of the blockade, the Agriculture Company of Melena del Sur fulfilled the schedulled plans of the current potato campaign with 5567. 47 tons of the tuber, an important contribution to the nutrition of the municipality, the province and the country after eight years of obstinately pursuing the desired dream.

I will also remind him that the seed of the much-needed tuber thanks to the blockade has to be imported from Europe with an amount of around 800 thousand dollars, while if it were made from the United States it would only be 700 thousand.

The cost to our people has been important more than 428 million dollars and what to say about the list of affectations as a result of the murderous blockade to the country in which it was born, although today I weigh the facilities of the one in which it resides today, absurd comparison others, the number would be endless.

We Cubans in middle of the storms of one of the most difficult periods we have lived through, do not renounce to the determination of surviving and developing.
