JAKARTA - Your mouth is your tiger. This broken taste is suitable to describe the situation in the ranks of the Cuban minister.

The Cuban government sacked its employment minister after being publicly reprimanded by the president for saying beggars in the country were all disguised fraudsters.

A brief announcement on Tuesday evening stated that the Minister of Manpower and Social Security Marta Elena Feito showed a lack of objectivity and sensitivity to the topics that are currently the center of political and government policy.

The minister's statement in a live televised broadcast on Monday, July 14, was widely circulated on social media and became the target of public frustration with the economic crisis over the years.

"We've seen people looking like beggars, but when you look at their hands, when you look at the clothes they wear, they disguise themselves as beggars. In Cuba, there are no beggars," Feito said.

"They have found an easy way of life, to make money and not work properly," he continued.

Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel responded to the statement before the committee the next day, saying his ministerial chatter showed a lack of empathy and understanding of the root of poverty.

"These people, who sometimes we describe as homeless or associated with beggars, are actually real expressions of social inequality and the problems we face," said the president.

"Those who are vulnerable are not our enemies," said the Cuban President.
