Several independent media revealed this week that Lisa Titolo Castro, the granddaughter of the “retired” ruler Raúl Castro, is the owner of a Mipyme (Micro, Small and Medium Enterprise) on the Island, while leading a life of luxury worthy of the “family.” real” of Cuba.
With this, Raúl’s granddaughter joins the growing list of young people belonging to the Castro elite who have businesses in the business world.
Data from the Cuban Industrial Property Office show that their new MSME is registered under the name Gaia SRL.
According to journalist Luis Domínguez, a member of Cuba al Discovered and the Foundation for Human Rights in Cuba, Castro’s granddaughter is not the only member of the family who is involved in this food sales business, since the couple Alejandro Castro Espín’s son, Rachel Pérez Hierro, also has her name on the project.
This business sells pork and chicken, products that are scarce on the Island, at prices that are almost impossible to pay for those citizens whose monthly salary is just over 2,000 Cuban pesos (CUP).
One of their advertisements indicates that half a kilo of minced pork is sold at 1,100 CUP, while half a kilogram of steak is at 1,660 CUP, a kilo and a half of chicken breast is at 1,635 CUP, all prices that exceed half the salary. monthly of an ordinary Cuban.
Domínguez revealed this information to fellow journalist Mario J. Pentón, also pointing out that Castro’s granddaughter spends her time enjoying a life full of luxuries around the world. In that sense, she shared images of Titolo while she was visiting places such as the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris and the city of Montreal in Canada.
The communicators also pointed to the fact that the business location, located at 206 No. 151, corner of 15th and 17th streets, has a recently built swimming pool, something that has generated criticism due to the price of the products it already offers. the inability of many citizens to obtain construction materials, a problem that does not seem to affect Castro officials or their families.
It is difficult to understand that, while some Castro officials try to sell a discourse of humility on the Island to avoid a possible social outbreak, figures like Titolo and his family spend their time enjoying trips and luxuries with which a large part of the citizens of the island Island they can only dream of.
Additionally, Domínguez stated that members of the Castro family have foreign passports that allow them to travel abroad and enjoy these luxuries without being judged by the citizens of the Island, although this is increasingly difficult thanks to social networks.
