In his complaint, Torres Cairo stated that he was waiting “3 hours and 10 minutes from the arrival of my flight until I left the airport.” According to her calculation, the waiting time for her luggage is equivalent to “30% of the Madrid-Havana flight time.”

Outraged, the photographer considered the service a “lack of respect” and denounced that it was not a specific situation, but rather the usual trend in said air terminal. “It is repeated on every trip I make, for work or not; and not much has changed in the 30 years that I have been entering through that airport.”

Finally, the co-author together with the writer Leonardo Padura from the book Our everyday Havana He addressed the authorities of the Cuban regime, whom he called “solvers.”
