💨 Abstract

A Cuban minister faced backlash after claiming there are no beggars in Cuba, only people disguised as such. Marta Elena Feitó Cabrera, the Minister of Labor and Social Security, made these remarks amid Cuba's economic crisis, which has led to increased social vulnerability and scenes of begging and scavenging. President Miguel Díaz-Canel criticized the lack of sensitivity in addressing these issues. The economic downturn has seen Cuba's GDP fall by 1.1%
