Marta Elena Feito
Marta Elena Feito is a Cuban politician who served as the Minister of Labor and Social Security. She recently resigned from her position after igniting controversy by denying the existence of beggars in Cuba, claiming instead that those seen on the streets were merely 'disguised as beggars.' Her remarks were made during a parliamentary session and were met with widespread backlash, as they appeared to dismiss the harsh economic realities faced by many Cubans amid a deepening crisis. Feito's statements and subsequent resignation reflect ongoing discussions about poverty, inequality, and government accountability in Cuba.
