[translation of an article published on July 15, 2025, on the website of the Presidency of the Cuban government.]

It reports on the response by Miguel #Díaz-Canel Bermúdez, #Cuba’s president, to controversial remarks a day earlier by Cuba’s Minister of Labor and Social Security, Marta Elena Feitó Cabrera.

On July 14, Feitó Cabrera told the National Assembly, Cuba’s parliament, that there are no beggars in Cuba, that the island’s beggars are faking poverty in search of easy money, and that those cleaning windshields on the streets or picking up rubbish from trash bins are actually collecting raw materials without paying taxes.

“We have seen people who appear to be beggars, but when you look at their hands, when you look at the clothes those people wear, they are disguised as beggars,” Feitó Cabrera said.
