La acumulación de basura se ha vuelto una costumbre en Pinar del Río. El abandono y desinterés en el tema se nota en las calles por las que ya casi “no se puede transitar”, mientras los hospitales están “llenos de niños con dengue” según afirma el activista y periodista independiente Omar Suarez a ADN Cuba. Denuncia ciudadana.

00:00Good morning. We are approaching Alameda Avenue, one of the central avenues here in the city of Pinar del Río.
00:12It is an avenue that is quite passable and many cars circulate at all hours of the day.
00:23In these hours of the morning, as you can see, there is a lot of traffic.
00:34And here, as you can see, almost occupying the sidewalk, there is this vending machine.
00:51A vending machine that is practically occupying the sidewalk, as I said.
00:57The containers are full.
01:01However, the municipal companies here in the city of Pinar del Río do not worry about collecting the solid waste
01:13that accumulates daily, polluting public resources and generating infections and diseases.
01:26The city of Pinar del Río is now with a high rate of dengue infection and other diseases.
01:37Hospitals also have many people admitted.
01:45However, there are no drugs to alleviate this situation.
01:50And here, this is one of the reasons why the city of Pinar del Río does not systematically collect solid waste.
02:06This is abandonment. This is not for the lack of equipment to collect and clean the city.
02:13This is abandonment.
02:17Here, in this place, there is a collection center.
02:30However, just a few meters from here, the situation they present says quite the opposite.
02:48Right now, you can't pass through here.
02:51People have to go to one side.
02:54And here, the same things are deposited.
02:56Dead animals, sanitary paper, rubble, solid waste, food scraps.
03:11The population has no way to throw them in a container and keep everything clean.
03:26This has been going on for months here.
03:28Months.
03:30In the middle of a city.
03:32And in the middle of a crisis of diseases like the ones we have today in Pinar del Río.
03:42Pediatricians are full of children with dengue.
03:48Hospitals are also full.
03:53And both the government and the party, as well as the company that should regulate this situation, do nothing about it.
04:05From the city of Pinar del Río.
