00:00How is the town of Guanabo?

00:02Guanabo was a bright town, with beaches, very beautiful.

00:06There were many places to visit at night.

00:09Now everything is turned off.

00:11Everything is MLC or MEPIM, very expensive.

00:14And you know, the survival.

00:17Guanabo is not what it was, isn't it?

00:20Well, now I think about what you are explaining to me.

00:26There is a word that they want to turn into politics.

00:31When it was Guanabo, there was a house next to Maria.

00:39That was the hotel where we, the poor, used to stay.

00:42There we were calm.

00:44Not even that exists anymore.

00:46The old Pigón is overthrown.

00:48All Havana is overthrown.

00:52I think that the Catrista dynasty, look where I'm talking to you.

00:58The Catrista dynasty gave school to Lenin.

01:02In the 60s, 70s, to the Cuban people.

01:08Today the school of Lenin is not even named.

01:11I think that the one who is president in Cuba,

01:18Díaz-Canel, has nothing to do with it.

01:21It's just a capatá.

01:23The dynasty is still of the Catros.

01:25Because the Catros are not going to give their fortune to Díaz-Canel.

01:30Many years ago, there was a game of dominoes in the Basques.

01:38From the Basques, where are the Cubans?

01:42Who took the diamond?

01:44Fidel Castro.

01:46Or the so-called Batista.

01:48Who left here with a lot of honor.

01:51Because he left his family.

01:54Billionaire.

01:55He bought an island of wood.

01:58Brother, what is your name?

02:01My name is Luis Alberto González Legón.

02:04I was stopped once for the cause of hate.

02:08Next to Mongo Castro, Fidel's brother.

02:12In the Picadura Valley.

02:14What an exemplary guy.

02:16This is why I finished a 12th grade.

02:18In the school of Facultad Obrera Campesina.

02:21In the town of Aguadales.

02:24And now he survives selling soaps.

02:28Those soaps are... How do you sell the soaps?

02:31Well, I sell them as much as I can.

02:33People want to pay me.

02:35Because what I do tell you is that

02:38Mongo Castro, Juanita, the deceased,

02:41who died in the United States in North America,

02:44is an example.

02:48There were two examples of Castro.

02:51And Castro's son died over there with my mother.

02:55He was always stopped in the United Nations.

02:5818th, between 1st and 3rd.

03:01Do you know the life of that family well?

03:04I don't know, because on the 3rd and 5th

03:07lived Celita Santamaria's daughter.

03:11Because Celita Santamaria was the one

03:14who baptized Celia Sánchez Martínez,

03:17the sister of the guerrilla.

03:20They died.

03:22Well, in Guanabos, on a Sunday,

03:24this is the most popular means of transport.

03:31It's the most popular.

03:33It's the most popular here,

03:35when people come to visit.

03:37There's a problem with the transport

03:39and the survival.

03:41150 pesos you gave me,

03:43I'm going to try to eat the soaps,

03:47because they're all expensive.

03:50Brother, are you selling the rooster to survive?

03:54No, he's not selling the rooster.

03:56He's consuming it and he likes the roosters.

03:59Father, have a good day here in Guanabos,

04:02a city that used to be...

04:05No, sir, I don't smoke, I don't smoke.

04:08And there's a problem with cigarettes,

04:10cigarettes are so expensive.
