A lot of people in Urquiza feel ashamed of the situation of the country, a situation that forces the working class to go out to the streets to recycle the trash of those who are better off.
Fidel used to work in a textile factory where he controlled three machines. But his papers where not in order and they had to fire him.
"This work I do at the moment is temporary," he says. "Is there at this moment more work," I ask him. I hear the minister every day professing that its going better. "No, still most of the factories are closed," he answers. "But when my papers are in order, I can return to my old job."
I dont know if this story is true or that it is his last hope.
