The renowned Cuban actress Tahimí Alvariño could not contain her frustration after six days without electricity in Havana and denounced the unsustainable conditions that families are facing in the area near Vento Street, in the Cerro municipality.
Through a powerful message on Facebook, Alvariño described the difficult situation facing the community, where the lack of electrical power is severely impacting the daily lives of residents, almost a week after Hurricane Rafael passed through the western part of the island.
"It has been six days without electricity on Vento Street, with two poles that have been on the verge of falling since Wednesday, where thousands of cars pass by, putting everyone’s lives at risk," said the actress, raising awareness about the danger these poles pose, as they could collapse at any moment.
It was also noted that one of the poles is located near the Ignacio Agramonte Basic Secondary School, which is attended by children, raising concerns about the safety of the students.
Alvariño mentioned the serious difficulties faced by the residents of the area, such as the lack of water, the loss of food due to power outages, and the absence of immediate solutions from the authorities.
"We are without electricity, without water, without food (because all of it has spoiled)," he stated, making clear the suffering experienced by the affected families.
With the seventh day without electricity in sight, the actress made a strong call to action: "Fix the disaster because we can’t take it anymore."
His message reflects the desperation of residents in Havana and other areas of the country, who are facing ongoing issues with power outages, leading to increasing frustration and a demand for swift solutions.
However, the Havana Electric Company reported this Monday that, so far, 95% of the city has regained electricity service, benefiting over 823,000 customers.
In fact, he completely overlooked the Cerro municipality when he mentioned that “the rehabilitation process continues in municipalities like Playa, La Lisa, Arroyo Naranjo, and Boyeros, where some more complicated damages persist.”
The reality is that sources close to CiberCuba confirmed that in areas even as residential as Kholy, the electricity has not been restored, and the crews have had to prune trees in order to carry out their work.
Considering, moreover, Alvariño's words, only one thing is clear: the company's account "doesn't add up," because "there's something fishy going on here."
