Cuban parents exploit: How long will the psychological torture be with the people?

Children sleep in streets and doorways as a way to mitigate the heat and blackouts, while their parents explode on social media blaming the government.


The inhuman blackouts suffered by Cubans, with cuts of up to 20 hours a day in some locations, have become an unsustainable situation for many, who exploit social networks and criticize the regime by asking: “How long will psychological torture be with the people?”.

For the eighth time in nine days, the Cuban Electrical Union (UNE) reported blackouts that lasted 24 hours on Tuesday, in the midst of the serious energy crisis that the country is going through. This has led many families, including children, to sleep on the streets in a fruitless attempt to get some rest during the night.

“Who explains to a child who cannot watch television, that after sleeping poorly and having had 16 hours (and more) of blackout, he must wake up with another blackout to go to school?” he wrote in Facebook the activist Guelmi Abdul, who in other has sometimes echoed the pain of families living in extreme poverty in the country.

This woman expressed the general unrest of the population in Cuba, asking: "Who explains to a demented, bedridden old man that he must endure the heat with temperatures above 38 degrees Celsius?", while the prolonged blackouts, along with the intense heat, turn the days and nights on the island into a true nightmare.

The Internet user exemplified how this situation is exacerbated for people who live in tall buildings, and must climb 10 floors or more because the elevators do not work due to blackouts, "and also not have water because the pump depends on the electric current.”

The distraught woman asked herself: “Who is hurt by the people's pain?”, and questioning the government, she said: “What do they want? Let them die of heart attacks and strokes, crazier than they are and without medicine? "How long is the psychological torture with the people of Cuba!"

Finally, he blamed the ruler Miguel Diaz-Canel for the regime's inability to resolve the current energy crisis: “While the president is living the sweet life, as if nothing were happening. “Enough yaaaa!!!”, he finally broke out.

Mother Yaily De Armas also joined the chorus of voices that have protested on social networks due to the brutal blackouts suffered by the people.

Look at the Cuban children sleeping in the doorways of their houses!"Those who have doorways, because those who don't have one had to be completely sleepless, because there is no one inside the houses," he said in Facebook.

The woman accompanied the complaint with an image that touches anyone who feels sorry for seeing children sleeping in the doorway of a house.

“It is already an abuse, the blackouts are from 8 hours onwards to continue tomorrow for schools and jobs. "If they take them away from us all day, why do they take them away again at night?" said the woman, explaining how electricity outages disrupt the daily life of the population, making living in the country unbearable.

A Cuban mother residing in Santiago de Cuba this Wednesday She was outraged how her two children lay down in the porch to try to sleep during a blackout at dawn, the most difficult to cope with in the unbearable energy crisis that the country is dragging.

"We are here on the porch of the house because the children can't sleep because they are hot. It's three in the morning. They got up from the room to sleep here. They didn't go to school yesterday. Today they can't go to school either because, imagine, I'm not going to get them up at 7 in the morning."the Cuban complained in a video broadcast on social networks by journalist Yosmany Mayeta.

The Cuban regime, far from finding a solution to the current energy crisis, expect protests during the summer.

"The United States is launching new attempts to 'warm up' the streets during the summer, taking advantage of the complex situation that the country is experiencing, according to the most recent interests of its intelligence agencies to generate attacks against Cuba, in what they call Operation 11.7. 24," said the Ministry of the Interior (Minint) in la red social X.
