The sudden collapse of a wall caused damage to more than a dozen cars, many of them new, belonging to the company Transtur in the Cuban province of Holguín. A post in the Facebook group "ACCIDENTES BUSES & CAMIONES, por más experiencia y menos víctimas" reveals that the wall, which bordered the parking area of the company dedicated to car rentals for tourists, fell on several imported vehicles.
In the images, at least 12 affected cars of various makes can be seen. Many of them still lacked assigned plates, indicating they were new. In recent months, Cuba has acquired several batches of new cars to revitalize the struggling tourism sector, while hospitals lack ambulances, and funeral homes lack hearses.
Several netizens reacted to the post, indicating a general sense of apathy towards the island's problems. "Nobody cares what happens on the island," one user commented. "It's simple, they're Liborio's. Didn't anyone notice the deterioration of that wall? Who will be held accountable? And so many unanswered questions arise. Nobody cares," wrote a group member.
"As always, nobody noticed the wall was in poor condition, I mean the bosses. Worse things will continue to happen; no one cares," said another. "Irresponsibility, poor management, lack of commitment from the boss to the guard, constructing without considering consequences. The money spent on those cars could have been used to buy ambulances or medicines for the people. This calls for one thing: fire all responsible, starting with the boss, and make those who built the wall pay for the damage to the cars," a third person concluded.
