The province of Camagüey has reportedly begun implementing a series of emergency measures in response to the growing fuel shortage that is affecting the entire country, according to information shared on social media this Thursday.
The Cuban journalist José Luis Tan Estrada, now living in exile but very active on social media due to the seriousness of his allegations, claimed to have received leaks from internal sources that allegedly confirmed the suspension of interprovincial transportation and adjustments to movements between municipalities, due to the lack of diesel and gasoline.
According to their publication, the sale of fuel in foreign currency to the public would also have been suspended, a measure that would be added to adjustments in teaching schedules in schools and the possible temporary departure of scholarship students from neighboring municipalities and provinces.
The provisions, according to the shared information, would also include the reorganization of the cultural program, with the suspension of days and artistic events that would be rescheduled for another date.
Estrada clarified that the decisions would not be officially announced until the return of Walter Simón, the first secretary of the Communist Party; Roberto Conde Silverio, the second secretary; and Yaymir Victoria, head of the Ideological Department, out of "fear that the resolutions might leak" before their final approval.
So far, no official source has confirmed the implementation of these measures, although the energy situation in Cuba has worsened in recent weeks, with prolonged blackouts, fuel shortages, and the halting of activities in several sectors.
The possible suspension of transportation and the restriction of gasoline in Camagüey would reflect the deepening of the national energy crisis, which is already directly impacting institutions, educational centers, and the daily lives of the population.
In this regard, the University of Havana announced this Thursday a set of measures to adjust its academic and administrative operations in light of the energy deficit the country is facing.
In the same way, the University of Holguín would have temporarily suspended its teaching activities due to the energy situation the country is experiencing, according to messages circulated among students in institutional groups.
