Cuba's Prime Minister, Manuel Marrero Cruz, called for more "concentration" from Cuban leaders to carry out the "implementation of the approved actions aimed at supporting the Government Projections to correct distortions and re-energize the economy."
This was expressed on Monday during his speech at the September meeting of the Council of Ministers, where the head of the Cuban regime emphasized the "responsibility" of local officials and leaders in the process and the results that the central government expects to obtain from its strategies and "projections."
Upon reflecting on the disaster caused by the "economic restructuring" planned by the ruler Miguel Díaz-Canel – euphemistically referred to by the state media as the "complex situation facing the economy" – Marrero Cruz justified the lack of results due to objective factors associated with the U.S. embargo, and subjective factors related to the lack of "organization and control."
"In the midst of all this reality… the lack of fuel, the lack of foreign currency, the lack of electricity… Amid all this, countless subjective issues coexist that we have not yet resolved. We need to focus, in the face of so many objective difficulties, on addressing the subjective problems," said the Prime Minister, and the cameras of the National Television News (NTV) captured it.
According to the report of the meeting held by the official media Cubadebate, Marrero Cruz insisted that "the first thing we need to do is focus on solving everything that is within our reach, because there is a lot of shoddy work and many issues that do depend on us, and we are not addressing them due to a lack of demand."
The prime minister's call to overcome the "subjective problems" was extended to all the leaders of the regime, especially those who listened to his words via videoconference from their respective territories.
"We must address subjective problems and each person in their area, in the tasks that correspond to and direct them, but also at the community level, which is where problems are resolved first," he emphasized.
The Cuban regime says that the macroeconomic indicators show "discreet advances," but reproaches local actors in its power structure that these supposed advances "still do not reach the family economy."
The table of the Cubans remains empty, inflation is out of control, wages have plummeted due to the "economic and monetary ordering," homes are in the dark due to frequent and prolonged blackouts, public services have collapsed, hospitals are saturated and in ruins, diseases are proliferating alongside the garbage dumps, public transport is paralyzed due to lack of investments and fuels... but, according to Marrero Cruz, the government's policies are already "starting to organize some elements."
In order for the results to be visible to Cubans, according to the Prime Minister of the so-called "continuity," it is necessary to work with more determination. "It's a problem of organization and control," he concluded.
