00:00 I am Yoyo Velencia Costa, a member of Cuba Democrática Independiente.
00:03 Here in Pinar del Río, exposing a situation of one of the many peasants here in San Juan y Martínez.
00:10 Because they don't give interviews to us, independent journalists, because they are land and fruit.
00:19 They take them away and they are afraid of that and they don't give us the interview.
00:24 We, the independent journalists that we work with, don't believe in that and we do it to expose the situation of the majority of the peasants.
00:34 In San Juan y Martínez, why not? They are planting the best tobacco in the world and the majority couldn't plant it because of the government's irresponsibility.
00:44 Here in San Juan y Martínez, producing the best tobacco in the world.
00:49 This is a situation that exists, this box of tobacco, and the peasant couldn't plant tobacco and with a terrible situation.
00:59 Because there is no oil, because there is no this, because the truck is this, because the truck doesn't have parts that can be broken.
01:07 A thousand situations and a thousand lies and the peasant is the one who pays.
01:12 The little they get from the MLC when they plant beans or something, they take it away.
01:20 They take away the kilos and you know.
01:25 Look at the situation they are in. A man who delivers 80 to 100 quintals of tobacco.
01:30 Look, like this is a stack of guajiro, but what they are afraid of is exposing their situation because they are land and fruit.
01:40 Because they are land and fruit, they are not afraid to report or report the situation here in San Juan y Martínez.
01:54 Like that, there is a stack, but that's why we reporters and independent journalists have to keep insisting to expose the real reality of the so-called revolution.
02:05 Look at the situation.
02:08 And possibly not even this year, always in tobacco, more than half of the guajiros here in San Juan y Martínez, all things are at a thousand.
02:18 A thousand lies, a thousand deceptions to the people, to the most humble class, which are the peasants, the guajiros of Las Vegas.
02:28 That is why the ethics and culture that existed before '59 have been destroyed and the Las Vegas of the best tobacco in the world, San Juan y Martínez, has been demoralized a lot.
02:41 That's why, because of the discontent that people have with the peasants, with the same government.
02:48 And another thing, they take tobacco at the price of sick pig.
02:52 At the price of sick pig they take it.
02:55 Look at the situation, look at the situation.
02:59 This is what the independent journalist Joelencia Costa and Julio Ben Gongora of ADN Cuba reported for you.
03:11 The End
