The Cuban star Rebeca Martínez has expressed her frustration over the energy crisis that Cuba is experiencing, which has left a large part of the country in the dark since last Friday, October 18.

The renowned actress, singer, and dancer shared a post in the stories of her Instagram account to speak out about the situation affecting millions of Cubans.

"I'm in hibernation mode until 'the light' comes," Martínez wrote, accompanying the text with a completely black background, reflecting the gravity of the situation the island is experiencing after four days of continuous blackouts.

The energy crisis, which began with a widespread collapse of the electrical system, has generated concern among citizens, who see how electricity outages are prolonged, affecting the daily lives of the population.

The energy crisis in Cuba has worsened in recent years, and this new episode of prolonged blackouts has generated a wave of criticism on social media, where many public figures, such as Rebeca Martínez, have expressed their outrage.

While the government does not offer a clear solution to the situation, Cubans continue to live in difficult conditions, without electricity and with uncertainty about how much longer this blackout will last.

The artist's comment reflects the sentiment of many who, faced with the lack of light and solutions, choose humor to cope with the reality of a Cuba immersed in darkness.
