received donations of small
plants and is importing
oxygen "in low levels"
because the shortage is
worldwide, Portal Miranda
said He said that the goy -
eminent has created a
waking group to monitor
the situation.
Diaz -Cane) toured some
of the ndlitmy facilities on
Monday and tried to strike
conciliatory tone, tweet-
ing his thanks to the health -
are workers "who are
working full time in com-
plex situations."
The Residency's website
annotmced that a small
plant donated by Russia
arrived Sunday and started
producing oxygen Monday.
'-'e- State television showed
Cuban leader Miguel Diaz-Canel loured a medical oxygen -producing plant in Havana on images on Sunday night of
Monday as authorities acknowledged an oxygen shortage amid a surge of COVID cases. military helicopters frying
oxygen tanks to Holguin.
After weeks of official
silence about the shortage
of oxygen, critics in Cuba
questioned why the govern-
[ did not have con-
tingency plans to avoid
depending on a sole oxygen
plant during a pandemic.
Others questioned how
the government used the
billions of dollars in reve-
aue from exporting doctors
broad in "medical bri-
gades." For instance, a
medical oxygen -producing
plant sells for just 570,000
through Chinese online
retailer Alibaba.
Critics also pointed out
that the government has
drastically cut the public
health budget in recent
years. In 2020, for exam-
ple, it only made new in-
vestments for S80.4 million
in public health and social
assistance while funneling
more than 54 billion to real
estate, tourism, and "busi-
ness services," according to
official statistics.
"The lack of oxygen in
hospitals (nCuba is literally
choking) could have been
foreseen by the govern-
ment Experts gave advance
nonce of this health disas-
ter. And it could have been
solved if they had invested
in oxygen plants instead of
continuing building hotels,"
said Cuban independent
journalist Maykel Vivero.
Cuban doctors post video
defending care, lashing
out at the government's
response to the pandemic
SV NORA GAINER IORRES

A group of defiant doc-
tors in Cuba posted a rare
video over the weekend
criticizing the govern-
ment's handling of the
pandemic as COVID pa-
tients continue to suffer
from a lack of medicines
and essential supplies.
The video, featuring
doctors from Holguin in
eastern Cuba, came as the
cmtntry's health minister
pubtcty acknowledged an
oxygen shortage amid a
sage of coronavhus cases.
"1 want to denounce the
collapse of or health sys-
tem in our hospital and
many others, said Dr.
Hector Aleiandm Santieste-
ban Fuentes, a second -year
surgery resident at a hospi-
tal named for Russian our -
mist leader Vladimir mn
Lenin. "It is rota lie. No
e is paying us It is the
reality we are living today."
Dr. Y06et Consuegra
Leyva, a third -year surgery
resident at the same hospi-
tal in Holguin, said the
halth personnel were
"mistreated, every day, by
the upper echelons, the
authorities. Actually, we are
the ones wstawng this
More than a dozen spe-
cialists, residents, and in-
terns from several hospitals
in Holguin, including the
head of intensive care at
General Hospital Vladimir
Mich Lenin, Dr. Alejandro
Eduardo Fores Arafey ap-
peared in the video.
The outspoken video is
the latest example of how
Cubans, including some
Reeking for the state, are
becoming even more vocal
after the anti -government
protests that shook the
island last month. It's also
more evidence that the
COVID emergency is taking
such a dramatic turn that
health workers feel they
need to speak out even at
the tisk of losing their jobs
The doctors were panic -
Wady incensed by com-
ments made by Cuba's
prime minister Manuel
Marrero, who blamed
healthcare workers for
discontent surrounding the
COVID-19 response. In an
official meeting in Cienfue-
gos last week, Marrero said
that the population was
complaining more about
miserearnent" and "ne-
glect" of patients by the
health workers than the
shortage of medicines.
"I publicly denounce that
doctors are not to blame for
the collapse of the health
system in our country," said
each of the participants in
the video. The comments
echoed those of other doc-
tors who replied to Marrero
with anger on social media.
Rafael Alejandro Fuentes
Sanchez, a general surgeon
at one of the province's
train hospitals, acknowl-
edged that the group feared
government retaliation for
nuking the video. "We are
afraid, but we are not afraid
of the pandemic; we are
afraid of the government, of
what it can do, and of the
way it can react to the fact
that we are speaking out to
demand our rights and the
rights of the people to have
quality care." he said.
On Sunday, the govern-
ment finally acknowledged
there is a shortage of oxy-
gen to treat COVID pa-
tients, as Cuban independ-
ent media and the Herald
have reported.
The health minister, Jose
Angel Portal Miranda, said
there were "limitations with
the medical oxygen cov-
erage for patient care." He
said the shortage was due
to a broken part in the is-
land's main oxygen -produc-
ing plant, a breakdown that
"nobody expected"
Ina local newspper's
Judy 29 report, there is a
reference to the lack of
oxygen in the centrally
located municipality of
Ciego de Avila due to the
broken plant in Havana. An
official is quoted in the
Invasor as saying the sit-
uation was expected to last
"until next month because
the pan that the Havana
plant needs is imported
from Germany, and it
couldn't arrive earlier."
For weeks, Cubans have
been sharing stories of
COVID patients in desper-
ate need of oxygen on so-

It's not your typical
South Florida weapons
se alleging the export of
missiles or assault rifles to
a rogue nation.
loge Nobrega is a pros-
perous Miami businessman
who sold foam to the Vene-
zuelan air force — but U.S.
authorities say this was a
military -grade foam used to
protect fuel tanks in its fleet
of Russian -made planes
from enemy fire.
On Sunday, Nobrega was
sir steel Now he's being
held in a federal Iodnsp on
charges of violating U.S.
presidential sanctions
against the Venezuelan
government and State
Department weapons ex-
port laws. He is also ac-
cused of a money-launder-
ing conspiracy for allegedly
moving millions of dollars
of illicit Venezuelan pay-
ments through Venezuela,
Thailand, Portugal and
South Florida.
Nobrega, a U.S. citizen
who had his first appear-
ance Miami federal court
Monday, faces detention
before trial because federal
prosecutors consider him a
flight risk due to his wealth
and international connec-
tions. A detention hearing
is set for Wednesday.
Nobrega'a defense at-
tomey, Francisco Alfonso
Marry, did not respond to a
request for comment His
client's case stands out
among the array of foreign
corruption and money
laundering prosecutions
brought in South Florida
against various Venezuelan
businessmen and govern-
ment officials with connec-
tions to the late President
Hugo Chavez and current
President Nicolas Maduro.
Nobrega, who has busi-
nesses west of Miami In-
temational Airport and in
Venezuela, is accused of
exporting polyurethane
foam to the Venezuelan
military and servicing its
fleet of Russian Sukhoi
5U-30 combat aircraft. The
"explosion suppressant
foam" insulates the fuel
tanks in the wings from fire
by strengthening the struc-
tures and slowing shrapnel
during enemy attacks
The advantage of Nobre-
ga's sconce is that the
Venezuelan military did not
have to send the wings to
Rassu to be repared — the
relining of the fuel tanks
could all be done by his
company in Venezuela,
according to prosecutor
Kurt Lunkenheimer.
But Nobrega, who de-
scribed his technique as
akin to "dialysis," did not
obtain a license or waiver
from the US. government
to export the foam to Vene-
zuela and service its mil-
itary planes according to a
criminal complaint and
affidavit filed Monday.
Nobrega was recorded in
phone conversations dis-
cussing the purchase, sale
and export of the foam
with a Homeland Secndty
Investigations confidential
and he also ex-
changed WhatsApp mes-
sages and emails with the
informant, according to the
criminal affidavit. Starting
in 2018, Nobrega discussed
the illicit export scheme
and how to hide the pay-
ments with the HSI source,
the affidavit says.
The following year, No-
brega's company negotiat-
ed with a U.S. company to
bury supplies of the explo-
on sugrpressant foam,
saying it was to be used for
on -military commercial
and that the end user
was Chevron, the giant U.S.
oil company, according to
