“It belongs to the town and the town owns that place”

Cuban humorist Ulises Toirac He said in his networks that the Cuban people own the Playita de 70, in Miramar, around which they just built a concrete perimeter wall.

“Regardless of how rudely ugly the wall is, I allow myself to ask why the construction of that wall is due in a place that thousands of Havana residents use annually to take baths in the sea, considering that going to the Eastern Beaches is many degrees more beyond ‘cumbersome’, “questioned the artist, who lives in Miramar.

“It is an area of ​​popular use. It belongs to the town and owns the town of that site. I do not understand why the town is not consulted for something like that. Does anyone know about those responsible and the reasons? I do not want to be too incendiary without knowing more, “Toirac wrote in his post, along with several photos of the wall.

Quickly, many users reacted to the words of the humorist: “Perhaps in this country the people are consulted about something?”, “The people are never consulted, if we could have another government and you would live much better because you have a lot of talent” “We have never really been consulted about anything, but now we are beginning to understand that it is our right”, “I am 32 years old and since I have the use of reason I do not remember that the people have been counted on at all, so this is not amazes me. “

Others referred to the lack of materials in the country to build houses and the frequent collapses, while erecting such a structure in that area: “There are no materials to build houses, but there are materials to build a wall and prevent access to that area . Old Havana falling apart. What there is is no shame “,” People fall over the house and these plank faces making walls for nothing !! What a disaster! “,” There is no cement for the people but yes a wall. “

In 2019, the Cuban government turned that area, between the Panorama and Chateau Miramar hotels, into a Paseo Marítimo. Since then, the authorities had announced a proposal for fencing from 1st and 70th streets.

El Paseo has 11 restaurants, two cafeterias, an amusement park for children and adults that is still being renovated, a concert space and 25 artisan kiosks. Last November, the administration of the Paseo Marítimo of the popular Playita de 70, began to charge the entrance to the place on weekends under the pretext that cultural activities were carried out.
