The Minister of Energy and Mines of Cuba, Vicente de la O Levy promised that the situation created from the acute energy crisis that crosses the country, with blackouts endless, it will improve “in the future”.
Without specifying the margin of improvement or the time frame for its prediction, the minister responsible for the country's electrical infrastructure, used his fortune-telling skills to prophesy a change in the terrible situation suffered by the Cuban population.
“The fuel situation in the future will be better. We are going to continue facing difficulties that we will gradually resolve. The priority is the plants that consume national fuel. The maintenance of Guiteras guarantees better conditions for the summer,” said De la O Levy on his social networks.
The government of Miguel Diaz-Canel keep betting on propaganda rather than for the solutions to their problems, revealing the incapacity of their ministers, whom they keep subject to the dictates of the Palace under the threat posed by the “cadre movement” policy.
“Public opinion” means nothing to the Cuban regime when the minister who is now in the limelight comes to the fore to make announcements like this.
With the national electrical energy system collapsed, De la O Levy launches an institutional message that is pure smoke and a delaying strategy that, according to the reactions of the population, does not seem to be causing the effect desired by the Cuban regime.
“They have been saying that about a better future since the past, and they have never brought it to the present... Nor will they bring it, sons of p...!”, an X user commented to the minister.
“Useless, prefabricated, armed is what you have on your face. You have to be very cynical and have very little respect for Cubans to be so imprecise about something as important as electricity. “You are the cause of the destruction of the country,” another pointed out.
“In the future we would be the country with the highest production of red meat, with the highest production of milk, fruit, among other products. More than six decades have passed and today the Cuban nation is the best example of the mythology of misery,” concluded a third.
De la O Levy took office in mid-October 2022, in the midst of the previous energy and electricity generation crisis that took down his predecessor Nicolás Liván Arronte Cruz, and the general director of the state Electrical Union of Cuba (UNE), Jorge Armando Cepero Hernández, who was replaced by Alfredo Lopez Valdes.
At the beginning of the year, the minister announced a 25% increase in the electricity bill of those customers who consume more than 500 kilowatt/hour (kWh), and justified the decision as a measure “aimed at savings.”
The increase in the price of electricity for the so-called “large consumers” came into effect this March 1 (to be paid in April) and, according to De la O Levy, it will affect 2.7 percent of Cuban consumers.
“Really, this government is basically run by stupid people. They raise the price of electricity basically to charge you for blackouts. I don't understand the math they have. "How long will the abuse last?" said a user on the UNE social networks.
