Sister Nadieska to the Cuban government: "This people can no longer endure more injustices."

"When the leaders of a nation do not have the capability to respond, the wisest thing is to transfer the responsibility to those who can offer other alternatives."

The Superior of the Daughters of Charity in Cuba, Sister Nadieska Almeida Miguel, shared a text on her social media in which she denounces the crisis in her country and demands that the government either provide a solution to the crisis or hand over power.

In a post shared on her Facebook wall, Nadieska claims that Cuba is a nation that touched the light and is now continuously under darkness.

"It is distressing the uncertainty we are living, the psychological tension of wondering whether we will wake up with or without power, whether they will cut it off during the day or night, living with almost permanent blackouts. And alongside this, the misinformation, the lies, and the broken promises," he said.

"Our children despair with the darkness, the heat, and hunger. Workers, without having had the necessary rest, go to their workplaces because that is where their meager, yet certain livelihood comes from for their families. This is compounded by extreme violence and a wave of suicides that knows no age, because obstinacy and hopelessness affect almost everyone," she detailed.

The religious sister, a strong critic of the regime, expressed that the harsh reality of Cubans is nothing other than being stalked by death. Because getting used to the crumbs, to others deciding for oneself, to applauding or feeling happy because the light was turned on for a while, are signs of death.

"It is a sign of death to see how our country, our families, bleed out, with so many crossing borders in an attempt to find light in other places. It hurts to the core of the soul," she pointed out.

Nadieska commented that she would like to have a response from the government that is not the same as "we must understand because we are living in difficult times."

"I believe my generation has always lived in difficult times and has not emerged from them," she emphasized.

"It is already enough that by taking away our electricity, they also engage in the game of cutting off the Internet and all types of communication, so that we do not forget that we are an island, as if suffering the consequences of feeling disconnected for hours would silence the discontent that is gaining ground in the soul of this nation," he noted.

Finally, the Superior of the Daughters of Charity demanded that the rulers ensure a dignified life for Cubans.

"When the leaders of a nation do not have the capacity to respond, the wisest thing is to transfer the responsibility to those who can offer other alternatives," he stated.

"This people can no longer bear more injustices. This people cries out and demands the freedom to LIVE IN THE LIGHT, which goes far beyond electric light; it is the light that emanates from life, from human rights that are respected and not violated. (...) The norm is not misery, nor getting used to decay, indignity, dehumanizing indifference, or impunity. What is just for all is to walk through this stretch we call life with dignity, freely, with each person being the protagonist of their choice for life," he concluded.
