More maintenance than necessary is being done to justify the blackouts since they don't have oil because they don't buy it and it's not because they don't have money since Cuba exports everything, even hot peppers.
They are doing more maintenance than necessary to justify the blackouts since they don't have oil because they don't buy it and it's not because they don't have money since in Cuba everything is exported, up to that point it's spicy.

I agree, this is not giving more but they are not interested in anything because they are all millionaires and eat whatever they want while the people die of hunger. They never tire of talking about the basic basket. They have lost the nation of the basics for life... not 5 pounds of rice, 2 at a time, and two pounds of sugar every two months, apparently being a country of sugar producers. They finish off everyone.
It's that every day the electric companies come in for maintenance (it's all a lie) damn tell the truth, but why on the 30th and 1st there was no affectation whatsoever, neither electrical nor fuel, at least in Havana, of course they already achieved their objective (the parade) and what a coincidence a few hours later the affectations began and the most beautiful thing is they shit on everything that is written or commented, they don't care about the people, they only care about being maintained in the kingdom
Cuba has been abandoned to its fate! It's not fair!
The majority of the Cuban people are, today more than ever, hostages to the dictatorship of the Communist Party.
Enough! . Stop the systematic violations of the most basic human rights of millions of innocent people!
Alignment with this dictatorship makes us complicit in the hardship, illness, and death of hundreds of thousands of Cubans.
Once again, ENOUGH! The Communist Party must be considered a terrorist organization, and its top representatives must be treated as such!
Freedom for Cuba now! Boycott the political regime that humiliates, imprisons, and kills human beings! DOWN with the dictatorship!
Sancti Spiritus is the poorest and most abandoned province in Cuba. It is not known why, although it is said that it has the least capable leaders, the electric company of this province only reports on its networks a COPY AND PASTE day by day.
This is the poorest and most abandoned province
La Guitera is not the solution…280…of 1680…is nothing, 1400…is 33 percent of the country. With it operating…a dark country…there is no economy…there will be no oil…nor development…waiting for 2028 for the country’s energy strategy to be fulfilled…
They have allowed the country's electro-energy situation to reach this point due to the government's inefficiency in prioritizing the limited funding available to the state, giving priority to projects that benefit certain sectors of the country's leadership more than the population and the country in general, and then blaming it all on the blockade.
