The wall of an old building on Zapata street, between Infanta and Basarrate streets, in Havana, is the umpteenth building in the capital that threatens to collapse. The residents of the area verify day by day how it is leaning dangerously.
“Does anyone think that those rustic sticks that they have put up are going to hold that wall?”, a passerby murmured this morning. “It is tremendously irresponsible, they should demolish this as soon as possible,” a bread vendor replied. “In Monte, a wall like that collapsed and killed a colleague of mine.”
Zapata, which begins in the central Avenida Infanta, is a fairly busy street, and although some time ago they removed the line from the H. Upmann store that used to be there, vehicles and pedestrians circulate along this section daily, without noticing the traffic. danger.
In that same place, the disappeared Kiosk Pirámides was located a few years ago, where products were sold in CUC before the Ordinance Task.
Today only the haunting façade remains, which seems destined to cause an accident. Another one in a city where the buildings continue to collapse without the authorities putting a remedy.
