The Cuban ruler Miguel Diaz-Canel He stated this Friday thatThe economic measures adopted by the regime “They are the definitive path to prosperity.”
This was captured in a video shared through social networks, in which the first secretary of the Communist Party of Cuba (PCC) haranguing a small group of inhabitants of Cruces, in the province of Cienfuegos.
“With the measures, little by little, we are going to reorganize the economy. With the measures, little by little, we are going to get to a better situation, and we are going to open the definitive path to the prosperity and development that this town, which is a heroic town, deserves,” said the ruler.
Microphone in hand to speak before a few dozen people, Díaz-Canel was visibly irritated against those Cubans who criticize his management and describe his measures to “correct distortions and reinvigorate the economy” as a “package” which further reduces the meager capacity of Cubans to generate wealth.
“These concepts are not handled in a neoliberal package, therefore it has nothing to do with it, that is a lie, an infamy, what they are trying to confuse our population,” said the leader of the so-called “continuity.”
Faced with the unpopularity and protests of Cubans over the rise in prices of services and essential products, the ruler has had to leave his offices in the Palace to tour towns and cities, in an image strategy that makes him seem close to the victims of his economic policy.
“All of us have to have all this information, participate in that process, study well everything that is published about the measures, so that we support the measures and move forward,” said Díaz-Canel in a discursive outburst that left a couple of roosters loose, running around Cruces.
This Friday, Díaz-Canel alerted the people of Ciego de Ávila that a national evaluation of the approved economic measures will soon begin in the country and asked them to express their doubts on the issue.
"They can make proposals. Whoever believes that there are other things with which we can improve the country, we do it. We need the situation we have experienced in the last three years to change in 2024, for the reasons that you know," he said at the end of a visit where, curiously, everything he found in his path were productive companies, with encouraging results, assorted agro-markets and promises of a better future.
Pay attention to those who said in Mayabeque: "In this popular debate we also want the population to propose their points of view on the things that need to be done, how they should be done, what more can be improved. Here there is no reason for surrender We can't give up and we are going to win and win, and 2024 has to be better".
Pay attention to what he said in Santa Clara: "We have lived an extremely hard year, with the blockade intensified [but 2024] we must turn it into a turning point that brings us closer to hope and gives us more light".
Similar phrases said in 2022, when he promised that 2023 would be a better year. And in 2021, 2020... until his appointment in April 2018, when the dictator Raul Castro he pointed his finger at him and designated him as a “straw man” of the regime that their opaque “heirs” control.
This Friday, in Cruces, at the end of his speech, the voice of a neighbor was heard shouting: "We know well what you are doing!"; a demonstration of support that sounded like an accusation, and that left an air of doubt whistling among those gathered.
What do you think?
