NewsTranscript
00:00My name is Miguel Michael Hernandez Panetti. I am a natural from the province of Olguin,
00:06from the municipality of Huabono, from a town or neighborhood called Los Haites,
00:11which is the People's Council in charge of the site.
00:13I am here, at this time, making a complaint against the Cuban state,
00:19within the state, the Ministry of Agriculture of the GERMA group,
00:24for violation of my rights, for acts of extortion, of oppression against my person,
00:33which in themselves are also acts of abuse.
00:38I am a physical impediment, and all other abuses have been committed against my person.
00:43The matter is, it all started in 2014,
00:48when I moved to a farm, which was owned by my grandfather,
00:55to work in agriculture, and for that I requested some bank loans to the bank.
01:03These loans were granted, and with these loans a deposit was paid
01:08to the construction company that belongs to the GERMA group, the Ministry of Agriculture,
01:13and this deposit was never completed.
01:16The fundamental aspects of this complaint are precisely that deposit.
01:22Then, in that year, I had an accident,
01:26I had a hip fracture,
01:29and the operation was also denied to me, even though I had been admitted here in the Farm Bay,
01:35because in 2016 they gave me the temporary leave for three months,
01:38and they never called me back to operate, despite having called.
01:43The doctor who was attending to me was called Fermin Moltopey, here in the Farm Bay.
01:47They really denied me the operation.
01:49In 2017, after coming here to make a complaint about the issues of the well and agriculture,
01:59the Ministry of Agriculture, an entity, the Cuban State,
02:02in this case a UAPC called Oscar Blas,
02:05burned down my house in the province of Alguin, in that municipality,
02:11in the neighborhood where I previously lived.
02:14And only the government gave me a few pieces of fiber,
02:18and a few small pieces of concrete, and a book of bundillas,
02:21because I wonder if a house can be built with all that.
02:24In addition to that, as a result of all this,
02:27they put me in a huge debt of more than 500,000 pesos,
02:31that not even in times of COVID, their interests were paralyzed,
02:38and I had to resort to alternate methods against myself physically,
02:44so that they could eliminate that debt.
02:47Those methods were to impersonate me in the council of ministers this very year,
02:52the 26th of this year,
02:54and sew my mouth on this side and this side,
02:57with a poster that I have here,
03:00and I did the same, I was hungry,
03:03so that they could remove the debt from me.
03:06Because that debt, that debt,
03:10was a concrete contract that I did not receive a single penny from.
03:16All the money was transferred to state entities,
03:19for example, the agriculture and agricultural companies,
03:21the construction company, the insurance company,
03:26all that money was like that.
03:27However, I carried the weight on my responsibility,
03:30I had to pay the interests of their life,
03:32and I did not receive any benefit,
03:34because they did not finish the well.
03:37On the other hand, finally,
03:40all these issues forced me,
03:42they cornered me,
03:43that I had to leave my farm.
03:45I sold the farm to the state,
03:47and the state did not pay me the farm.
03:50And this is the date that I am a physical impediment,
03:54I do not have a house,
03:55because I sold the farm with the house,
03:57I have nowhere to live,
03:59I am here in Havana right now,
04:00without having a place to live,
04:01sleeping in the portals.
04:03And they do not pay me my house,
04:06nor do they pay me the damages and damages.
04:08According to this law,
04:10which proceeds here from the Constitution of the Republic of Cuba,
04:12Law 59, Article 83, 84,
04:15illicit acts,
04:17they must pay me the damages and damages,
04:19all the money that has been perceived since 2014,
04:22that is, until the date,
04:23here are the production plans and all the money
04:25that should have been entered,
04:27which has more than 8 million pesos,
04:31that the Cuban state must pay me.
04:33But, as the methods they have,
04:36the Cuban laws,
04:38as a natural person,
04:39prevent me from proceeding to file a lawsuit,
04:42against, in this case, the company
04:44that was the cause of all these issues,
04:47of the losses,
04:48of the non-completion of the well.
04:50I even have documents
04:52from the General Prosecutor's Office of the Republic,
04:55where I certainly have the reason
04:58that they did not finish the well.
05:00I also have documentation
05:03from the Ministry of Agriculture,
05:05from the Territorial Delegation of Agriculture
05:07of the province of Holguín,
05:09where they certainly corroborate and confirm
05:13that I am right,
05:15because they had not finished the well
05:17and that this led to the loss
05:19of all those crops.
05:20And, ultimately, the increase in debt
05:23after having been produced without payment,
05:26being the responsibility of this company
05:28and the GELMA group
05:29for not having finished the well.
05:31Ultimately, after all these reasons,
05:34the complaint I make is,
05:38starting from a question,
05:42that what does this government have with me?
05:44Because, first of all,
05:46whether or not it is a personal act,
05:48which I do not understand
05:49why it should be personal,
05:51they deny me the operation.
05:54After a VPC, they burn my house
05:57and do not restore my house to me.
05:59They put me in a huge debt,
06:03I do not receive any benefits.
06:05Since 2014,
06:08I have been making these statements,
06:09these complaints,
06:11these claims to themselves,
06:13because now I am publishing them here,
06:15but the claims were to them,
06:17to the Ministry of Agriculture.
06:18With that poster,
06:20hunger strike,
06:21which was the Ministry of Agriculture.
06:22I continue with the questions.
06:24What does the state have with me?
06:27Against me,
06:28why does it do these acts to me
06:29that I feel a physical impediment?
06:31After doing all these things,
06:33getting involved in that doubt,
06:34they corner me and tell me,
06:36I have to sell the farm
06:37because I have to leave there
06:38and they don't pay me my farm.
06:40I ask myself,
06:42why do I say that I am a physical impediment?
06:44I have a chair injury,
06:46look at the bruises here.
06:48I went to look for a job here in Havana
06:50and they denied me the job
06:51because I had a physical impediment.
06:53And I have witnesses of that right there,
06:55in the labor body.
06:58I owe my farm to the state
07:00and then they don't pay me the farm.
07:02At what point
07:05have you given
07:07some answers to the officials?
07:09How is it going in your case?
07:12Point zero.
07:14They don't pay me,
07:15they don't tell me anything.
07:17They don't pay me,
07:18they don't tell me anything.
07:19So, what happens?
07:20I try to file a lawsuit
07:22so that the GELMA group,
07:24which is responsible for
07:25the Monteconstrucción company,
07:27which is responsible for the well
07:28and all that debt,
07:30pays me those 8 million pesos.
07:33According to the law.
07:35It's not my invention,
07:37I don't want them to pay me
07:38that money by force.
07:39That's what the law says.
07:41Law 59.
07:42You told me that
07:44they have dictated in your favor
07:46on several occasions,
07:48in several instances,
07:49of the government.
07:50Yes, and the General Prosecutor's Office
07:52of the Republic,
07:53here,
07:54of the Prosecutor's Office, for example,
07:55of Havana,
07:56which carried out the investigations,
07:58here very clearly,
08:00for example,
08:02very clearly expresses,
08:04that was also corroborated,
08:06that you have filed a complaint.
08:08It was possible, as you say,
08:09as a result of the investigations
08:10carried out by our agency,
08:12it was proven that
08:14you were certainly
08:16associated with that cooperative
08:18and that the well was not finished,
08:21that the Monteconstrucción company
08:23did not make the well for you,
08:25that you certainly lost the harvest.
08:27That's here, look.
08:28That's you, that document.
08:30I have lost harvest,
08:31I have had damage.
08:32All those damages.
08:33And losses.
08:34All those losses
08:35are more than 8 million pesos.
08:38That counts.
08:39And according to the law,
08:40here in Article 83-84,
08:42illegal acts.
08:43So, on the other hand,
08:44the Ministry of Agriculture,
08:46which according to this law,
08:48had to demand
08:49from the cooperative
08:50to carry out this claim
08:52against the company,
08:54because I do not have a legal personality
08:56that represents the company,
08:58because the contract is made
09:00by the company
09:01with the cooperative.
09:02I cannot carry out a contract
09:04with a state company,
09:05and less so at that time.
09:08Who should carry out that claim
09:09was the cooperative,
09:10but it did not.
09:11Why?
09:12Because it is a cooperative,
09:14a company,
09:15and I am a natural person below.
09:16Stepping on me as a natural person
09:18and receiving all these
09:20damages and losses.
09:21So, at this moment,
09:22helpless,
09:23because I have no way
09:24how to get
09:26and make this claim,
09:28and take the case
09:29even to court,
09:30so that in an impartial way
09:31the court knows who dictates.
09:33Either in favor or against,
09:34because if I am not right,
09:35ok, I will take it to court,
09:36because there is a lot of
09:37documentary evidence,
09:39even signed and signed
09:41by these entities of the state,
09:43because the only one I have directed
09:45in all this claim in these years
09:47has been the Ministry of Agriculture,
09:49the GELMA group,
09:50and the Council of Ministers.
09:52So, what are the specific requirements
09:54that you make to the state?
09:57I need to pay
09:58all those damages and losses,
09:59because first of all,
10:00I do not have a place to live,
10:02I need my house,
10:03I sold my house to them,
10:05why don't they want to pay me mine?
10:07My house,
10:08concept of owner,
10:09Miguel Michael Hernández Paneque,
10:11property,
10:12a farm bought in the year 1951,
10:17that there I have the number
10:18of the public writing,
10:19this has nothing to do
10:20with agrarian reform,
10:21that farm was bought
10:22by my great-grandfather,
10:23he inherited it from my grandfather
10:24and then he legally inherited it,
10:26as an owner,
10:27nothing of his property,
10:28nothing.
10:29So, if that's mine,
10:30why didn't they pay me for my farm?
10:31And why don't they pay me for my damages?
10:32But I'm being a physical impediment,
10:34I ask this question,
10:35now what do I eat?
10:36What do I live from?
10:37Who sustains me?
10:39Where do I live now?
10:40Why do they do this to me?
10:41After having burned my house,
10:43after denying me my operation,
10:44now they don't want to pay me
10:45for my farm either.
10:47After having had to sew my mouth
10:49there in the Council of Ministers
10:51to get rid of a debt,
10:52of which I didn't take
10:53not a single penny in my hand,
10:55because I would still have taken money,
10:57but no,
10:58all that money was transferred
11:00to those companies
11:01for the restoration of land,
11:02the agropecuaria company,
11:05the mining and construction company
11:07for the well,
11:08the insurance company
11:09to insure the crops.
11:10And they didn't do anything?
11:12No, no, no, no.
11:13Yes, there were companies
11:14that did their part,
11:15but when they didn't finish the well,
11:16for example,
11:17the mining and construction company,
11:18those crops were lost,
11:19and all that money
11:20was left in the air.
11:21The agropecuaria company
11:22did do its part,
11:23because the truth is,
11:24it prepared the land
11:25and all those things,
11:26but for example,
11:27the insurance company
11:28also did its part,
11:29because they earned money for that.
11:30But the mining and construction company,
11:32which was later
11:33the agropecuaria company,
11:35indicated by the Minister of Agriculture,
11:37who gave me an interview
11:38in the year 2022,
11:40on May 18, 2022,
11:42the Minister of Agriculture,
11:44Edil Pérez Brito.
11:46Indicated by them,
11:48the agropecuaria company
11:50went to finish the well,
11:51but it didn't finish it either.
11:52In short,
11:53that well was never finished.
11:55And that brought all this music,
11:57but in the end,
11:58I made the decision
11:59to leave.
12:00And then,
12:01I don't go down to my farm either.
12:03I'm on the street,
12:04I have nowhere to go,
12:05I have nowhere to sleep.
12:06That is to say,
12:07you have lived 10 years
12:08of anguish,
12:09of despair,
12:10of economic losses.
12:13Accidentally,
12:14what I did was
12:15try to go to work there,
12:17to produce food
12:18with the food situation
12:19that this country has,
12:20and so on and so forth.
12:22It is one of the most difficult jobs
12:23that exists in the world.
12:25And look,
12:26why did this country pay me?
12:28This government,
12:29I say so,
12:30because in short,
12:31the Ministry of Agriculture
12:32responds to the interests
12:33of the state,
12:34of the Cuban government.
12:35That is the way
12:36I have to express myself.
12:37Because it really
12:38is the state of Cuba.
12:39So,
12:40among the things
12:41that I am denouncing,
12:42I also ask a question.
12:43This is Law 59.
12:44So,
12:45I wonder
12:46if I,
12:47as a Cuban citizen,
12:48do not enjoy
12:49the rights
12:50that this law represents for me.
12:51If it were me
12:52who committed a crime,
12:53I say this because,
12:54because
12:55the complaint that I make,
12:56if as a natural person
12:57I cannot take this case
12:58to court,
12:59because I do not have
13:00legal personnel,
13:01then,
13:02this law,
13:03Article 84,
13:04an illegal act
13:05that is carried out
13:06against my people,
13:07as it has been carried out now,
13:08with a loss
13:09of more than
13:108 million pesos,
13:11which the law
13:12explains very clearly.
13:13So,
13:14how is it possible
13:15that I do not have the right
13:16to take this law?
13:17What is happening?
13:18Because I went to the
13:19collective buffets
13:20and no one
13:21wants to take the case.
13:22But in addition to that,
13:23they do not want to give me
13:24an account,
13:25to capture it
13:26in a document
13:27that I have told them,
13:28if that is true
13:29that you are telling me,
13:30capture it in a document
13:31that you cannot.
13:32The Attorney General
13:33sent me
13:34to the collective buffets
13:35and the collective buffets
13:36do not want to take the case.
13:37What do I do?
13:38The cooperative
13:39does not want to do it.
13:40Agriculture
13:41does not require the cooperative
13:42which is required
13:43without this law,
13:44its legal acts.
13:45The cooperative
13:46does not require it
13:47to carry out the claim.
13:48So,
13:49in what plane do I stay
13:50as a natural person?
13:51I already screwed up,
13:52I lost that money,
13:53I have no right,
13:54I no longer have a right to life,
13:55I have no right to live,
13:56I'm going to keep sleeping
13:57on the streets,
13:58I have no way to feed myself
13:59because I do not receive
14:00any benefit from this country.
14:01No one gives me a meal,
14:02the state does not give me
14:03a meal,
14:04it does not give me a livelihood,
14:05I am a physical beggar
14:06and I do not have a check.
14:07They do not pay me my farm,
14:08not for a check,
14:09not for anything.
14:10So how is this?
14:11I want to know,
14:12to see what answer
14:13I'm going to get from this.
14:14What do I do in this country?
14:16How do I live in this country?
14:18I demand
14:19the Government of Cuba,
14:20the Council of Ministers,
14:21the President
14:22of the Republic of Cuba,
14:23that I need,
14:24that somehow,
14:25I do not know,
14:26through the prosecutor's office,
14:27for you,
14:28because for my life
14:29no one wants to do it to me.
14:30And there is the answer
14:31to all the documentary evidence,
14:32that I have the right
14:33to this law
14:34because I am a Cuban citizen
14:36and there are the rights
14:37of the citizen
14:38in the Constitution
14:39of the Republic.
14:40And this law,
14:41Law 59,
14:42which has been in force
14:43at the moment
14:44and I already explained,
14:45I reiterate,
14:46Article 83, 84,
14:47Act and that's it.
14:48They have committed
14:49against my person
14:50more than 8 million people.
14:51I need this law
14:52to protect me.
14:53If I am not right,
14:54OK,
14:55I need to take this case
14:56to court.
14:57What do I have to do then?
14:58Go on a hunger strike again?
14:59I'm going to do it
15:00if I have to do it
15:01in the Council of Ministers.
15:02Go on a hunger strike again?
15:03I'm going to do it
15:04with the greatest respect
15:05in the world.
15:06But I'm going to do it
15:07because how else
15:08can I do this?
15:09This is all
15:10I have to say
15:11and it is the complaint
15:12that I am making public
15:13and that the whole world
15:14knows
15:15that it is what I want
15:16because it is an act
15:17of injustice,
15:18it is an act
15:19of violence
15:20it is an act
15:21of injustice,
15:22it is an act
15:23of abuse,
15:24it is an act
15:25of extortion.
15:26It is an operation
15:27against my person
15:28for which I see
15:29no reason
15:30because none
15:31of my records
15:32have anything to do
15:33with acts
15:34against the revolution
15:35or against the state
15:36or political acts.
15:37So I don't know
15:38why this is then
15:39against my person.
