Cuban content creator Katherin, known on social media as @aprendedorajeje, casually describes in under a minute the rapid decline of public services in Cuba due to the oil shortage affecting the country.
"Things are serious", warns the young woman, hinting that this is not a typical moment of crisis: "Now it's different”.
Cubans sense that a time of change is in the air and are paying attention to the details, to how this accelerated paralysis of the country is unfolding, creating an unprecedented scenario.
This is a mix of the Special Period with the pandemic. It's a strange situation where one doesn't even know where it will end up, expresses the influencer.
“No fuel,” he repeats, while listing the consequences that are already being felt throughout the country. Among them, he mentions the reduction of the school day, a virtually non-existent public transportation system, and prolonged blackouts that, in some areas, exceed 48 continuous hours.
Katherin closes her message with a phrase full of restraint and hope: “Let’s wait, because this cannot last forever.”
Your video has generated thousands of reactions and comments from people who identify with the message and believe that this will not be just another crisis. We could be witnessing the beginning of a time of change in Cuba.
