00:00What do you think of the measures that the Castro regime is adopting
00:06in the wake of this cyclone, Rafael?
00:11Well, I don't think they are the most efficient, but for the moment,
00:15what was asked yesterday to the people of those vulnerable areas,
00:19if they stayed or if they went to the Aztecs,
00:22it must be for the pre-truncation.
00:24And what else have you seen that is being done as measures here?
00:29Now it seems that they started to collect the garbage,
00:32because until now there was garbage in all the places, in all the niches.
00:37That garbage, if it reaches the penetration of the sea,
00:40it can clog the sewers and so on.
00:43Yeah, so, but hey, here in front we see that,
00:48so I walked around and La Coloma is practically still full of garbage.
00:54So, what experience do you have of previous cyclones?
01:00Well, the experience is repeated, or the experiences are repeated.
01:06In the end, the affected are still affected,
01:09and every time the years go by, the affected increase.
01:12The government is not able to solve all the needs of the affected.
01:19The regime...
01:20In this village there are still people who have been damaged for 20 years,
01:25when the ILE was established, 20 or 22 years.
01:28With respect to the fishing company,
01:30do you notice any difference between the fishing company,
01:36the reservations, for example, of the boats,
01:40of the things, of the materials, of the state?
01:44Is there any difference in respect to the population?
01:51Well, I see that...
01:53The only thing I see from here is that they put the boats there
01:57for the sewer, or for the river, or whatever,
02:01but I don't think they take so many measures of so much effectiveness.
02:05Because the combined, year by year, also suffers damage,
02:11what they only worry about in the end is the combined.
02:15The people are still damaged, and the houses and the streets are still in misery.
02:20So, in case the cyclone passes,
02:24historically you have seen that it damages the combined,
02:27and that it is repaired.
02:29Yes, it is repaired.
02:30Not all houses have repairs for the combined.
02:34Yes, and that is the difference you see.
02:38Okay.
02:40We thank you on behalf of the agency ADN Cuba
02:45for this report that you have just given us
02:50with what you believe is happening,
02:53and may historically happen,
02:56what you have experienced with respect to the hurricanes
02:59here in the town of La Coloma.
03:01Reporting for ADN Cuba, Milagro Cervera González
