A group of five Cubans jumped into the sea from the area known as Cayuco Uvero Quemado in Pinar del Río to reach a speedboat that was a few meters from the coast, according to a video of the moment that has gone viral on social networks. .
The event, which occurred in broad daylight, shows how three officials from the Ministry of the Interior (MENTION)probably exercising his functions as a border guard, it is impossible for him to stop the Cubans who jumped into the water and swam until they reached the boat that awaits them at a prudential depth.
The images circulating on social networks reveal how the illegal exit occurs in broad daylight and the MININT agents, devoid of any means of communication, do not give notice at that moment to their superiors to alert them of what was happening.
Meanwhile, the citizen who records the entire event encourages the Cubans to swim fast towards the marine vehicle and manage to leave Cuba, since the situation on the island is critical and there is no future.
Given the passivity of the officers, some have commented on social networks that they too would have loved each other, since apparently they are very young recruits who are undergoing military service. “The boys from the Military Service were nostalgic, they should have taken the opportunity to explore and see where there were fish,” said Odalis Benítez.
Others, as a joke, wondered “at what time does that route pass through the Cuban beaches.” “Oh my God, that’s my dream: to be on the beach with my son and my dad and that it seems like that blessing and that we reach the empire safe and sound.”
There is no precise information on the day the event occurred and if the migrants finally managed to evade border controls to reach the Florida coast.
Despite the legal channels that the United States government has opened to offer safe migration channels, not all Cubans who want to leave the country have access to them and their desperation for a better future makes them flee illegally. The US embassy in Havana has continually reiterated that “these illegal expeditions to try to emigrate to the US are extremely dangerous.”
