If anything has been demonstrated by the Cuban regime, it is that the more the crisis worsens, the more initiatives it launches from above that barely alleviate the real problems faced by the population.
The most recent is “My Neighborhood for the Homeland,” a new community program approved by the Council of State, a kind of "invention" to justify the salaries of a completely archaic and obsolete structure that has no place in today’s society.
The information was published by the official newspaper Granma following a session of the body, where the general guidelines of this initiative were established as part of the government's strategy for 2026.
According to the Vice President of the Parliament, Ana María Mari Machado, the initiative aims to promote actions in communities with the participation of political organizations, mass organizations, local administrations, and the population.
The program is structured around three main pillars: "Safe Neighborhood," "Participatory Neighborhood," and "Productive Neighborhood," aimed at directly intervening in community life based on the priorities of the State.
Will this be another way to get people who have been interrupted in their workplaces due to the current energy crisis back to work?
According to the authorities, this proposal is part of the Government's Economic and Social Program and aims to strengthen territorial management in a context characterized by fuel shortages and economic difficulties.
During the session, the president of the State Council, Esteban Lazo, emphasized the importance of the movement to support official policies from the neighborhoods and to reinforce what he referred to as the "achievements of the Revolution."
The launch comes amidst a complex situation for the country, with blackouts, lack of basic resources, and a deterioration in living conditions.
Additionally, the program is part of the commemorations planned for 2026, including the centenary of Fidel Castro's birth and the 50th anniversary of the Popular Power system.
As expected, another "initiative" of the regime's political propaganda.
Although presented as an initiative for public participation, the scheme reinforces the presence of political structures in communities, in line with previous models of social organization promoted by the regime itself.
