While Villa Clara is experiencing one of the worst electrical collapses in its history, the First Secretary of the Communist Party in the province, Susely Morfa González, posted on her X account a nighttime photograph of a spare parts store to promote what she described as a gesture of solidarity: a free charging station for the community.
The day before, I had also published about the distribution of stew in vulnerable areas by the company CubaTabaco.
"In the midst of the complex energy situation, solidarity turns into action: a free charging station at the service of the community," Morfa wrote, accompanying the message with the hashtags #CubaVencerá and #VillaClaraConTodos.
The tweet was posted one day after a breakdown in the 110 kV line in La Lima, Manicaragua halted operations at the Hanabanilla hydroelectric plant "Robustiano León," causing the collapse of two metal structures.
Damián Jiménez, technical director of the Villa Clara Electric Company, reported that the province had only 44 to 50 MW available and only 49 out of more than 200 circuits were operational. This was the second general blackout in less than a week.
On the same day of the breakdown, the Deputy Minister of Energy, Argelio Jesús Abad Vigoa, publicly admitted that distributed generation —with a potential of up to 1,400 MW— is completely stalled due to a lack of fuel.
Promoting free power outlets in response to a structural energy emergency, or celebrating the distribution of stew in the face of hunger caused by the economic collapse, reflects the regime's usual pattern: to present symbolic measures as acts of revolutionary solidarity while avoiding any self-criticism regarding internal management.
Morfa, a licensed psychologist with 21 years of experience in the Young Communist Union and the PCC in Matanzas, formally assumed the position in Villa Clara in December 2025.
In his year-end message, he promised to prioritize "electroenergetic solutions" as one of the key focuses of his administration for 2026.
