While Mexico boasts of solidarity with the Cuban people, in Havana, donated goods are reportedly appearing… but not in the hands of vulnerable populations, rather on the shelves of stores linked to the regime itself.
Reports circulating on social media indicate that Mexican merchandise—food and other supplies supposedly sent as humanitarian aid—is being sold in so-called “SMEs” (small and medium-sized enterprises).
These companies are not simply private businesses, but rather distribution channels controlled by figures connected to the Cuban political apparatus, who sell at inflated prices what is unavailable in ration stores.
In other words:
Donations sent from Mexico as aid arrive on the island, and the goods end up for sale… and not exactly at a low price.
In a country where the majority lives with structural deprivation, the destination of this aid raises uncomfortable questions. Is it support for the people… or supplies for a system that resells what it receives?
Solidarity should not become a business. But when opacity is the norm, what should be a relief ends up feeding the very machinery that manages scarcity.

By the way: the $4.80 on the ticket… is in US dollars.
