Cuban Minister Marta Feitó Declares 0 Beggars, Sparks Marie Antoinette Meme Frenzy

After Feitó’s “disguised beggars” claim went viral, her resignation became a trending topic alongside “What caused Cuba’s economic crisis?” and “How bad is Cuba’s poverty?” The government’s own data shows GDP shrinking 1.1% last year, while Feitó’s meme-legacy now rivals Marie Antoinette—proving in Cuba, even a bread line can resemble a costume party. Economist Pedro Monreal quipped, “The fight should be against poverty, not against the poor.”
Cuban Minister Marta Feitó claims zero beggars in Havana, sparking “let them eat cake” memes and trending questions like “What did Cuba’s labor minister say?” and “Why did Feitó resign?”—all while pensioners barter for bread.
