Miguel Polo Polo shared a video of a Cuban woman surprised in the Miami market and pointed out that “socialism is ruin”

Miguel Abraham Polo Polo, representative to the Chamber, generated a stir again by expressing his disapproval of the movement and political system of communism.. On this occasion, she did so through the dissemination of a video that captured the attention of social networks, starring a Cuban woman who was experiencing the “capitalist” environment for the first time in Miami (United States).

It should be noted that the Cuban revolution marked a milestone as the first communist revolution in America. Its impact was significant both nationally and internationally, especially in the dynamics between Cuba and the United States.

Likewise, the US embargo on Cuba since 1992 further exacerbated the situation, imposing extraterritorial sanctions that affect not only the island, but also third countries that wish to trade with it.. Although the sale of medicines to the island country is not prohibited, the shortage of food, basic products and raw materials is a palpable reality in the daily lives of Cubans.

The congressman used his X account (formerly Twitter) to share the story of this Cuban woman, who after living more than 50 years in the socialist regime that exists in Cuba had the opportunity to visit a market in Miami.

Their amazement at seeing the abundance and variety of food products available was noticeable. In the clip, a woman, in a tone of amazement and admiration, asks her mother how many years it has been since they last saw an onion.

The response revealed the harsh reality of the shortages that Cuban citizens face under the socialist system. The Cuban woman, visibly surprised, expressed that, at 55 years old, she had never before had the opportunity to see an onion.

“Years, imagine, I’m 55, I don’t think I’ve ever seen her in my life,” the lady was heard saying in the video.

The scene continued with the young woman urging her mother to buy something and not just stare at the variety of products available; However, her mother, still shocked by her experience, asks to be allowed to enjoy the moment of “contemplation.”

The video quickly went viral on social media, attracting the attention of users around the world. However, what generated even more controversy was the message from Congressman Polo Polo in his publication.

Stating that, “a Cuban after living 50 years in the socialism of the Castros in Cuba, knows capitalism for the first time in Miami and cannot believe the abundance of products she sees. “Socialism is ruin and Capitalism is Progress.” The representative fueled an intense debate online.

Many users supported his position, pointing out that the contrast between the situation in Cuba and the abundance in the United States was sufficient evidence of the failure of socialism as a political and economic system. But other users criticized the simplification of the situation, remembering that the shortages and economic crisis are not exclusive to the island, and that similar problems exist in other regions of the world, including within the same country, as is the case of La Guajira.

Some notable comments in the representative’s publication were: “Can you imagine the children of La Guajira discovering that the water is drinkable and that there is more food than that garbage waste?”; “Tell us what the conditions were like in the Cartagena in which you grew up in the midst of Colombian “Capitalism”; “In Colombia, something similar happens to Venezuelans in our supermarkets”; “Communism only serves the president and his friends”; “It seems like a joke, but almost all of Cuba has not enjoyed good meat like other foods that we frequently see here in Colombia.”
