Leaders of the Communist Party of Cuba and government entities activated the hashtag #CeroImpunidad to convey a message of “zero tolerance” towards corruption, following the charges brought by the Attorney General against Alejandro Gil Fernández, former Deputy Prime Minister and former Minister of Economy and Planning.
Among the most notable statements, Susely Morfa González, first secretary of the PCC in Villa Clara, supported the actions of the Prosecutor's Office as “faithful to the principles of the Revolution” and emphasized the slogan #CeroImpunidad.
In almost identical terms, Deivy Pérez Martín (First Secretary of the PCC of Sancti Spíritus), Marisol Fuentes Ferrer (member of the Provincial Bureau of the PCC in Mayabeque), Isael Rodríguez (member of the Provincial Bureau of the PCC in Villa Clara), and Ariday Anaya (Ideological Department of the PCC in Mayabeque) expressed themselves.
Officials of the regime emphasized that the leadership of the Party and the Government “has never allowed, nor will it ever allow, the proliferation of corruption, pretense, and insensitivity.”
On its part, the entity that Gil led responded in the same tone as the messages and added: "The confrontation, transparency, and zero tolerance for this type of manifestation that affects our people will always be resolved decisively."
The Ministry of Finance and Prices also echoed the official stance and emphasized the “confrontation” against demonstrations that affect the people.
The backdrop of these messages is the information note from the Prosecutor's Office, dated October 31, 2025, which claims to have monitored the investigation “in accordance with Article 156 of the Constitution” and to have ensured due process during the proceedings carried out by the agencies of the Ministry of the Interior.
Once the investigation was concluded, the case was forwarded to the judicial court, without any schedules or details of the subsequent proceedings being provided.
The accusation encompasses a wide range of crimes: espionage; actions to the detriment of economic activity or contracting; embezzlement; bribery; forgery of public documents; tax evasion; trafficking in influence; money laundering; violation of classified document protection regulations; and theft and damage of documents or objects in official custody.
The Prosecutor's Office emphasized that it acts "on behalf of the State," in line with its constitutional mandate, and requested prison sentences "commensurate with the offenses committed."
The digital prominence of the campaign #CeroImpunidad occurs as the country deals with the aftermath of Hurricane Melissa, a context that adds political weight to the official framing of the case and the insistence on showcasing institutional discipline in the face of corruption.
The coordination of messages from provincial leadership and central agencies aims to convey a unified stance and strength before the process reaches the trial stage.
The Gil case dates back to March 2024, when it was reported that a file was opened in the Prosecutor's Office for “serious errors” following his dismissal a month earlier.
Then it was reported that Gil acknowledged "serious accusations," resigned from the PCC and from his position as a deputy, and it was noted that the greater the trust placed in an official, "the greater the rigor and intransigence" would be in the face of deviations.
This turn followed a year of deep economic crisis, marked by shortages of food and fuel, power outages, and deterioration of services; alongside public admissions by the former minister regarding production shortfalls in 2023 and the failure of the Tarea Ordenamiento in achieving its objectives.
With the formalization of charges and the case file now in the hands of the court, the process awaits the judicial actions that will determine responsibilities and penalties.
