The lack of resources knows no bounds on the island, to the point that officials in Guantánamo have asked for support from the population so that, with their resources, they can illuminate the gas sales points that exist in that province.
The request was made by Maylín Rodríguez Fuentes, Group Leader of the CUPET Fuel Marketing Company in that province, through local television, the Solvisión telecenter. In her message, she asked the public that, in light of the lack of electricity and considering that it gets dark earlier, "support us by maintaining order. If you can, bring a rechargeable lamp to help at the sales points when it is already night and visibility is poor, so our colleagues can work without problems," she stated.
According to the official, the idea is to ensure that everyone gets their cylinder before they run out at the sales points. "Our entire team is committed to this and, without a doubt, we will achieve it," she added, expressing her confidence in the team, although the solutions remain limited.
Rodríguez Fuentes reported that in Guantánamo they received just a few 100 cylinders, which do not meet a demanding need for this fuel, so important for Cubans facing one of the worst energy crises in their history.
Just over a week ago, the Cuban government announced that, following a partial unloading of a ship loaded with liquefied gas, it would have the fuel available to try to alleviate the tense situation existing in the country.
With the ongoing disruptions that Cubans suffer due to power outages, gas becomes a fundamental element for cooking food. Even so, there are many Cuban households without electric stoves, who have had to resort to wood or charcoal stoves.
For example, this Thursday the outlook for power outages seems to be worsening on the island, following a forecast of 1,678 MW of impacts, which is projected to be a record. Social media reflects the frustration of citizens, who are hoping for quick solutions to the critical situation.
