The ruler Miguel Díaz-Canel reiterated that the situation in Cuba is "difficult" and once again appealed that the problems "are not insurmountable" during the meeting of the Council of Ministers, where he did not present concrete solutions to address the crisis affecting the country.
"The moment is difficult, but difficult does not mean insurmountable; we must have the ability and the conviction that we can overcome this moment," he said.
In the meeting, the leader emphasized the importance of working as a team and the need for everyone to feel part of the leadership process of the Revolution, from the municipalities to the national level, as reported by the official portal Cubadebate.
He stated that it is essential to prepare adequately and conduct thorough analyses to avoid improvisation and find solutions to the country's problems.
However, the president did not provide specific details about the measures that will be implemented to overcome the current economic crisis.
Instead, he called for unity and inspiration in the revolutionary work and in the old slogan "Yes, we can!", attributed to Raúl Castro.
He mentioned that around thirty projections are being organized to correct distortions and re-boost the Cuban economy starting in September, as well as the need to advance in the regulation of relationships between the state and non-state sectors, control prices, eliminate tax evasion, and increase revenues to the state budget.
His statements come in a context where it is urgent to resolve issues such as food shortages, inflation, and the lack of basic resources in the country.
In a country where the population faces daily difficulties in meeting their basic needs, Díaz-Canel's words are perceived as insufficient and disconnected from reality.
In recent months, the leader has repeatedly raised the discourse of "creative resistance" to encourage the population to continue enduring the permanent crisis in which Cuban families are surviving.
