Several Internet users ironically said in the post that the increase in blackouts is a gift for the workers who paraded on May Day.

"That's right, take your encouragement!" said one self-employed person.

"The parade of work passes has already passed, I mean, of the workers!" said a manzanillero.

"Come on, come on, come on, we reached the 1000 MW deficit in a few days, that is the goal that the UNE has for the people," said a man from Pinar del Río.

"That's the attitude! By July 26, I'm sure we'll reach 2,000! Let's go for more!" said another man ironically.
