The messages from the Cuban regime continue to be optimistic, amidst the prolonged and inhuman power outages that the island's inhabitants are experiencing, as was evident in the latest televised intervention by the Minister of Energy and Mines, Vicente de la O Levy.
The officials of the Electric Company on the island are supervising the maintenance work on their thermoelectric power plants. Despite the high degree of aging of their facilities, they continue to promise a better summer and justify the current situation as "temporary."
From Holguín, Minister Levy has shown himself to be collaborative with the workers of the Electric Company who carry out the hard work within the repairs.
"We are observing the rotation of the circuits, the consumption, the demand, supporting the work that is being done, there has been no rest," said an ecstatic Levy in front of the National Television cameras.
According to the minister, at the Felton thermoelectric plant, "intensive work is being carried out" and all the problems that occurred previously have been repaired after being analyzed.
"He is playing it safe," Levy's statements defined, in a moment of great tension within Cuban society due to the prolonged power outages, which have led to drastic decisions by the Cuban government.
While his words are being broadcast on national television, it was reported this Sunday that the school year in Villa Clara would undergo adjustments in the teaching schedule, with two hours of classes in the morning and another two hours in the afternoon.
According to information released by the Provincial Government in that territory, educational centers at all levels "with the exception of Youth and Adult Education" will start the first class shift at 10:00 in the morning.
In that same province, the local Government informed its population that they will only have three hours of electricity for every eight hours without power.
After the first half of May has passed, Cubans confirm that the "conjunction" of fuel and blackouts has shifted in the discourse of the ruler Miguel Diaz-Canel to "a highly complex situation in the energy issue," for which there seems to be no prospect of recovery in the upcoming holiday season, as authorities claim.
