The management of the Unión Eléctrica de Cuba (UNE) faced severe criticism from users once again, who expressed their growing frustration through social media.
The comments made on the official Facebook page of the state-owned company this Tuesday, August 13 - the anniversary of the birth of dictator Fidel Castro - reveal a landscape of indignation and hopelessness, amid an energy crisis that seems endless and which the day before caused outages throughout the day, with up to 605 MW of disruptions.
The lack of transparency, broken promises, and the constant disruption of electric service have driven the population to a breaking point, evident in the dozens of comments questioning the capacity and ethics of the responsible authorities.
The most common criticisms focused on the lack of transparency and the incompetence of UNE in managing the energy crisis. Users reported that the information provided by the company is confusing and contradictory, with reports that do not reflect the reality they experience in their homes.
Frustration is heightened by the perception that the solutions offered by the UNE are insufficient and that the problems worsen over time instead of being resolved.
The management of the thermoelectric plants, especially the units in Nuevitas and Santa Cruz, was one of the most criticized topics. Users frequently mentioned that these units constantly enter and exit the system without providing a stable solution. This led many to question the quality of the maintenance work performed and to suggest that the management of UNE does not have control over the situation.
Another point of criticism is the lack of fairness in the distribution of blackouts. Several comments pointed out that while certain provinces like La Habana seem to be less affected, other regions suffer prolonged and repeated power outages, creating a sense of injustice among the population.
In addition, it was emphasized that the energy crisis is seriously affecting the quality of life, with particular mention of the nights of unbearable heat and the lack of rest due to power outages.
"Cuba should be renamed Penumbra. It is a constant torture..." said Mabelys Aroche.
"A good gift for the commander on his birthday, the thermoelectric plants go offline and half the country goes dark (a tremendous blackout day)," observed Carlos Dailen Collazo Escobar.
"We owe all of this to him," commented Edenis Salgado, while Randy Suárez Otero quoted: "This is the Revolution of the humble, for the humble, and by the humble, they said... well, the humble are getting tired of their inefficiency, ineffectiveness, and lies."
"Pinochoooooo, their nose is going to grow. Today it's going double because they are celebrating the birthday of the dead mummy," said Ailyn Martínez.
"And wasn't it said that the summer situation was going to be more favorable? This has only one name: normalization of the crisis," criticized Leandro Bringas. "Dark summer, third season and we’re going for more...", concluded Tony Naranjo Pampillo.
"What is out of service is the morality and the shame, which have none. Look at how this town endures! Until when?" said Alberto Reyes indignantly.
"We are suffering from heat and mosquito bites almost every morning, this is an abuse," complained María Elena Núñez.
"Let's go for more! The most profitable company in Cuba; every day more deficits and zero stability. Bravo!" Carlos Vargas mocked.
The management of the UNE has reached a critical point, where the population openly expresses its discontent and despair. The comments collected this Tuesday reflect a society that feels betrayed by unfulfilled promises and overwhelmed by a crisis that does not seem to have a solution in sight.
The lack of transparency, the inequality in the distribution of blackouts, and the perception of incompetence on the part of the authorities have created a climate of widespread outrage.
