Electric Company of Santiago de Cuba incorporates new vehicles and promises to address the complaints of the population.

The Electric Company of Santiago de Cuba announced this Wednesday the addition of six new vehicles to its fleet, with the promise of improving service and increasing efficiency in addressing the complaints of the population.

The entity, a target of public criticism due to its inefficient management, reported on Facebook that these cars are intended to improve the quality of the service offered and to respond more effectively to customer demands.

The reception of the new cars was the reason for the regime to organize an event in the Plaza de la Revolución, the main venue for communist celebrations in Santiago de Cuba.

Journalist Yosmany Mayeta reflected on social media about the event of handing over the new cars, criticizing the management of the company: “For several months, the delays and inefficiency in response to any electrical breakdown prevail in all neighborhoods of Santiago.”

"I hope these cars come in handy, given the crisis this sector is facing in the province," he noted.

In July, an electric pole fell in the city of Santiago de Cuba, and the delay of the Electric Company in solving the problem led the residents to question whether the regime was prepared to face the rains and winds caused by hurricanes in the current cyclone season.

Journalist Mayeta posted on Facebook about the incident that occurred on Segunda Street in Sorribe, between Cuabitas and Patricio Lumumba, stating that the inaction of the local government endangers the population, as the street remains open to pedestrian and vehicle traffic.

In April, a group of houses were left without electricity for several hours in the Altamira neighborhood of the city of Santiago de Cuba, after some cables caught fire, confirming the deplorable condition in which the electrical installations exist.

Additionally, the delay of the Electric Company in solving the problem highlighted the poor management of the entity.

According to testimonies from neighbors in the area, the cables caught fire after 2:00 PM, and after more than two and a half hours of constant phone calls to the state entity, they finally arrived in the affected area to try to resolve the issue.
