Miguel Diaz Canel: There is no poverty in Cuba nor Venezuela

Díaz-Canel: In Venezuela, no one is poor
May 30, 2018

Oleg Kostko - Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel assured that in Venezuela and Cuba there are no people living in poverty, unlike the countries of the first world.

"There are countries in the first world that have a lot of wealth, but how are they distributed? Each time 10 or 20% is richer and the rest 80 or 90 is poorer, Venezuela and Cuba with their revolutions have done everything On the contrary, they have made us not very rich but none of us are poor," he said during a visit to a CDI in Fuerte Tuina broadcast on VTV .



Previously, Díaz-Canel chose the program Barrio Adentro Mission carried out by the Venezuelan Government for what he said that in Venezuela is established "true socialism."

"This is the true socialism, a facility like this to whom I would give attention in any country in the world? to the rich, those services would be charged very high and here, however, they are available to the people, only the great revolutions (...) as those founded by Fidel and Chávez do."

Well, there you have it. Since poor is a subjective term, and since everyone (except the Marxist-Leninist heirarchy in Cuba/Venezuela) is equally destitute, nobody is poor.

Have yourself a "garbage empanada", Miguel... better get there quick before all the non-rancid ones are taken!
