In Santiago de Cuba, a scene was captured that, although unusual, is real and reflects the crisis the people are experiencing, as well as the absurd solutions offered by the regime: a cart loaded with nearly twenty trays of bread dough was taken from one bakery to a nearby one for baking due to the lack of electricity.
Journalist Yosmany Mayeta shared a report on Facebook detailing that the photos posted were taken at the Tres Doncellas bakery, which, due to a lack of electricity, moved the bread preparation to another location on Aguilera Street for baking.
Additionally, it was reported that the unfortunate scene was captured on Tercera Street between Enramadas and Aguilera.
The independent journalist quipped, “If you are a consumer of this bakery, don’t be surprised if the bread that arrived at your table this morning was this.”
However, he also warned about the consequences of these makeshift solutions: "The raw dough traveled through several streets, exposed to environmental contamination."
In light of the increase in blackouts announced this Wednesday by the Electric Company of Santiago de Cuba, it’s not surprising to see images like these in the eastern city.
However, the solutions will take time to arrive, as announced by Cuba's Minister of Energy and Mines, Vicente de la O Levy, who stated that the fuel that could alleviate the crisis "is at Cuban ports," but has not yet been unloaded.
The official journalist Lázaro Manuel Alonso shared on Facebook the statements made by the head of the department, ironically during the inauguration of the Third International Renewable Energy Fair.
