Santiago de Cuba, the Cuban province where massive protests occurred on March 17 in the face of the proliferation of blackouts and food shortages, It is the territory where the shortest duration of blackouts accumulates in the last 24 hours, in this new worsening of electrical outages in the country.
According to the interactive map of CyberCuba, a tool that collects and analyzes comments and posts on social networks to identify and verify outage reports, Santiago de Cuba is the province with the fewest hours of electrical damage.
This Saturday's update, regarding reports of blackouts, accounts for only three municipalities in that province where there are power outages. However, as it is a tool based on what the population denounces, it may be that these are not the only territories affected.
It is striking that this province was the epicenter of the protests on March 17, where hundreds of people came out to demonstrate on a central street in the city of Santiago de Cuba, shouting “Homeland and Life” and “current and food.”
The demonstration began on the central avenue of Carretera del Morro and 9th Street in Veguita de Galo, in the capital of the province of the same name.
In a video you can see a crowd dissatisfied with the government's handling of the electrical situation, which is one more component within the crisis that goes through Cuban society.
This Saturday, May 11, it was also in the news cacerolazo that, in the middle of a blackout, residents made in the province of Las Tunas.
