| The conference "Social Collapse in Cuba," held at Florida International University, presented the 9th Study on Social Rights in Cuba, revealing that 94% of Cuban families are living in extreme poverty. |

"Cuba's collapse is the consequence of the failed, inefficient, and corrupt system imposed by the dictatorship. For this reason, democratic transition is not only a political urgency — it is a matter of human survival. Today, a political alternative to the regime is indispensable, and we are taking on the responsibility of driving it forward," said Rosa María Payá, coordinator of the Pasos de Cambio platform and leader of Cuba Decide, during the conference "Social Collapse in Cuba," held this Wednesday at Florida International University (FIU).
"Millions of Cubans, both on the island and in exile, can contribute from their own vocations, professions, and experiences to the rescue of Cuba — but to do so, change is now urgently needed to generate the necessary conditions," the activist emphasized.
Yaxys Cires, Director of Strategy at the Cuban Observatory of Human Rights and spokesperson for Pasos de Cambio, presented the 9th Study on Social Rights in Cuba. The report indicates that extreme poverty in Cuba affects 94% of families, and that 8 out of 10 Cubans have skipped breakfast, lunch, or dinner due to a lack of money or food shortages.

Los cubanos somos una tribu singular. En su célebre fábula satírica El Profeta habla de los cubanos, el profesor Luis Aguilar León escribió que «los cubanos intuyen las soluciones aún antes de conocer los problemas». En ese mismo texto concluyó: «reunir a los cubanos es fácil, unirlos imposible».
