Which children were you referring to?

In your speech for July 26 in the capital city, you said that: “Such results mean that the infant population up to 13 years of age has fluid milk assured.” I ask you which children were you referring to? Because my son and all those I know around me have never received a drop of that milk.

That milk production totaled 180 percent! How is it possible to lie about something as sensitive as such vital nourishment?

We need an answer, because it is truly shameful for the party dominating this country that neither milk nor cattle meat are accessible for the ´people, but especially for our children and our elderly who need it so much for normal development and health.

For years, the people have been demanding that our right to raise cattle and use it according to our needs be restored. This is a God-given right, as all other rights, in this world.

It is unconceivable that a government that proclaims itself as the most humane and with the fairest social system forbids us to raise as other peoples do. No pretext to justify that is credible. Only a bewitched mind can believe it. It may be logical in India, where a cow cannot be sacrificed because of religion, but in Cuba it is absurd, an injustice and an abuse.
