The Cuban Gloria Muñoz del Toro, who defines herself on social media as a poet and a peasant, reacted indignantly at the prices she imposes the government to the necessary inputs to carry out the hard work with which a livelihood is earned.
“How does it occur to anyone that a peasant can pay that price for a roll of wire?” exclaimed this Cuban peasant irritably who shared the image of a 150-meter roll of barbed wire that is sold for 5,760 Cuban pesos (CUP), approximately 80 dollars, according to the informal market exchange rate.
With a minimum wage in Cuba of 2,100 pesos, the price of a roll of barbed wire that scandalized Del Toro is equivalent to almost 3 monthly salaries of a worker in the “Agriculture, livestock and forestry” sector, in which, according to data from the ONEI, heads the list of economic activities in the country with 802,500 workers.
With such prices, a Cuban farmer would have to allocate almost a quarter of his annual wage income to be able to wire, approximately, a 10×10 meter stable with three strings of barbed wire.
“They ask me to sacrifice, they ask me to lower prices and –while- your prices they are still stuck in my sweat, in the calluses of my hands, in my sunny hours, in my sleepless nights taking care of my productions and animals so that they are not stolen”, protested the peasant, who lives in Santo Domingo, Villa Clara.
With his words, Del Toro alluded to the statements made in mid-December by the ruler Miguel Díaz-Canel, asking food producers and sellers to
will give up their profits to lower prices and that the population could access the food they need for the holidays end of the year.
“There are two measures that are essential to commit immediately, which are, go to a political discussion with all producers and marketers, and convince them of the need of -in the current circumstances- giving up a certain level of profitability or individual or collective profit, based on lowering prices and that the population prices are more affordable,” Díaz-Canel said during the III Plenum of the Central Committee of the Communist Party. to the Cuban governors the ignorance of the reality of the workers of the field. A price that for the worker is an insult to her sacrificed work, to “my days in the rain, my feet wet all morning from the dew, without being able to protect them with a pair of rubber boots, because its price is also of horror”.
“Do you know about my confinement in the farm without even being able to go to a beach, or travel to see my family for a few days? Do those who set these prices have any idea how many rolls of wire a small paddock for small cattle takes, or how much wire is needed to fence the paddocks?” asked the peasant.
Doing Using sarcasm to vent, Del Toro stated that “today more than ever I am sure that ignorance is enormous, which is why I believe, without fear of being wrong, that the price people are aliens.”
“To the scientists of the world and lovers of ufology: confirmed; in Cuba there are lots of beings from another galaxy. Go through the Ministry of Finance and Prices; they will find them there,” said a peasant who, according to Díaz-Canel, is a member of that peasantry who must agree to give up their money, “because they are part of this town.”
“63 years to authorize you to kill a cow and 63 years doing paperwork to be authorized to kill it. PRAISE!” commented a netizen in Del Toro’s publication. “And the sack of fertilizer at 800 pesos!” protested another.
“The problem is that the one who sets the price knows nothing about the sacrifice of a peasant. How am I going to lower prices if you raise my supplies that way? They have no shame; That is why we have to shout Homeland and Life”, added another among the more than 400 comments that the publication of Gloria Muñoz del Toro has provoked.
