Marta Elena Feitó-Cabrera has resigned as minister of labor after telling parliament that there are no beggars in Cuba, just people looking for easy money. Her comments, seen as insensitive in the context of the severe economic crisis, drew criticism from Cubans and President Miguel Díaz-Canel. Although the government does not publish official data on begging, the rise in begging is evident in Cuba.
