I happen to know the writer and she's lived there for over 25 years. She knows what she's talking about and has no reason to try and distort the truth in her article. Hse's basically just relaying the message as most AP stories do.
"Government workers are paid in regular pesos, which trade at about 24 to the convertible peso or 21 to the U.S. dollar (32 to the euro). A Rapidito hot dog at 1 convertible peso costs more than a day's pay for a Cuban earning a typical monthly salary of 350 pesos ($16.60,€12.40)"
