Cuban Prime Minister Manuel Marrero Cruz insisted that the regime's "Government Program" cannot be viewed as just a document, amid an economic and energy crisis that is hitting Cuba hard.
During an exchange at the State and Government Higher School of Cadres, Marrero defended the new version of the economic plan and warned about the necessity of implementing it strictly within the structures of power.
“We insist on an essential idea: if we only see the Government Program as a document, as a plan of actions, we have lost the battle,” stated the official on his official account on social media X.
The leader added that the document should be regarded as a mandatory guide for state management: “It must be viewed as a working instrument, a system of work that guides our efforts at all levels.”
In February, the regime made another "update" to its economic program with the stated aim of "correcting distortions and revitalizing the economy." The plan is structured around 10 general objectives, 116 specific objectives, 438 actions, and 308 indicators and goals, which apparently are difficult for officials to interpret.
The country is experiencing a "complex" energy situation, characterized by a severe fuel shortage since December 2025 and the disruption of oil shipments from Venezuela.
Life in Cuba is marked by blackouts lasting over twelve hours in several provinces, paralyzed transportation, and agricultural production affected by a lack of diesel.
This is not the first time the regime has relaunched this same government program, but it fails to ensure that the executives and companies meet the proposed targets.
In October and November of 2025, a version had been presented, undergoing discussion processes within the Party, mass organizations, and state structures, without any concrete data being provided regarding its impact on the daily lives of Cubans.
Everything seems to indicate that the regime continues to "lose the fight," despite the thousands of reshuffles and creative ideas it has been launching for months without any results.
