Transcript

00:00In the early hours of today, here in my home, the officials of the State Security arrived

00:11because I am claiming with all due right the water service, which the aqueduct has denied us for more than 20 days.

00:24And then they came here, imposing that I was going to be taken to the Ministry of the Interior

00:35because I am simply claiming the right to water.

00:41They threatened my daughter that if the publication came out on her phone, she would be decommissioned.

00:50I am currently denouncing, and for a while now, the director of the aqueduct, Cantariado,

00:58for not doing his duties as they should, as a provincial director.

01:04On this street here, Calle Quinta, on July 26th, they didn't put water for more than 20 days,

01:14and every month the same story.

01:16However, two blocks from here, in Cuatro Caminos, they put water every two days.

01:27They charge me that I am guilty and that I am summoning people.

01:34I have never summoned anyone.

01:36I have a voice to make my social claim, as it is my duty,

01:43that they have never put water here because they don't feel like it,

01:49as a director of the aqueduct and Cantariado in the province of Pinar del Río.

01:54They have never put water here because they don't feel like it,

01:58and they want to start it against me,

02:01because I am simply claiming a right that corresponds to me as a Cuban citizen in this country,

02:08that internationally the right to water is allowed.

02:12It is a right.

02:14It is a right that every citizen has in this world, not only in this country.

02:21So they want to start it against me because I am claiming a right.

02:25Aqueduct and Cantariado are the culprits,

02:28the directives of the provincial and municipal authorities are the culprits

02:32that there is no delivery to the population as it should be.

02:44I am denouncing Aqueduct and Cantariado for murder,

02:48for not giving the right to the people to have the water cycle as it should be.

02:59Do you understand?

03:00You come to my house threatening me that I will be arrested, that I will be arrested,

03:05because I am making my claim.

03:08What is happening here?

03:10There is tremendous fear.

03:13There is tremendous fear of repression.

03:15I am not afraid of repression.

03:18Demanding my right in time and shape,

03:21I am not afraid of repression.

03:25In other places they put the water constantly.

03:29Constantly.

03:30Every day they put it, every 24 hours they put it.

03:33However, for this piece of road here,

03:35which is called Quinta Street,

03:38in the Cubalina district, in quotation marks, because Cuba is not free,

03:42they don't put it for more than 20 days, almost 30 days.

03:47I am denouncing the director of Aqueduct and Cantariado

03:51from the province of Pineda del Río.

03:53In this case, in the municipality of Pineda del Río,

03:56for not doing their functions as they should.

03:59That is my demand.

04:02Down with the company Aqueduct and Cantariado.

04:08I don't give a damn about the party, I don't give a damn about the government,

04:11I don't give a damn about the revolution.

04:14I, Omar Suarez Campos, from here, from my house,

04:17look, in my house, I am not on the street.

04:20The street is out there, from my house.

04:23For not doing my job as a Cuban citizen.

04:29A bastard, a son of a bitch,

04:32who is the director of Aqueduct and Cantariado,

04:35who is justifying that there are engines that are putting it on.

04:40They have been saying that for 40 years.

04:43Because a directive came to my house from the government and the province

04:48for me to sign a decree,

04:51a document that they were going to lower the cycle every 7 days.

04:55They are shameless.

04:58They are corrupt and they are liars.

05:01I am responsible for Aqueduct and Cantariado,

05:04the director of Aqueduct and Cantariado,

05:07who is selling water pipes to the population,

05:10who says that there are no conditions,

05:13there is nothing to give water to the population,

05:16and yet he is selling water pipes to the population,

05:19here in Pinar del Río.

05:22That is the real situation we have with water here.

05:25The real situation we have with water here is that.

05:30From the city of Pinar del Río,

05:33for ADN Cuba, Omar Suarez Campos, independent journalist.
