Varona says that it was due to the impact of three diseases that had as a center of expansion establishments of the Pork Company of Camagüey since 2014: cholera, African swine fever and the influenza virus in pigs.
This veterinarian graduate in 2004 at the University of Camagüey and today exiled in the United States for only a few months after entering the border, identifies Jorge Luis Parapar López, today director of the Poultry Group, but who in 2013 directed the Pork Company of Camagüey, of being the main person responsible for beginning to consciously spread the three diseases that had a negative impact on the mass of pigs and poultry in Cuba.
Varona, who from 2004 to 2016 worked at the Camagüey Pig Company and held various responsibilities there, has in his possession images of what he identifies as a hidden burial of pigs in 2017, in the El Rescate unit, in the province from Camagüey, who says they were sick with swine flu.
He tells América Noticias that all this problem began when Jorge Luis Parapar made a questionable decision in 2013 with pigs that dropped dead, which he, he says, opposed.
Alexander Varona assures that he was the only veterinarian in Camagüey who dared to investigate on his own what was happening with cholera, African swine fever and the influenza virus in pigs and birds, and that he presented his complaint about the handling of these diseases in all government institutions, the party, the prosecutor’s office, economic police, counterintelligence, among others.
But he denounces that they did not listen to him and that for this reason he suffered blackmail, pressure and threats of imprisonment that forced him to flee Cuba.
