The real, the very painful thing, is that the substitute country, little by little —without an immediate solution in sight— is replacing the country that should be; which, logically, does not seem to lead to anything edifying.
Perhaps the moment is not so far away when the national coffee refuses to keep on brewing under the name of socialism and, definitively, explodes. Live to see.
José Martí, who was too honest and poetic to survive as a politician, was certain that he would die "without a country, but without a master". We, saving the distances, suffer the same sorrows.
The statements of the Minister of Agriculture reveal the agricultural crisis in Cuba and the lack of a government strategy to solve it.
On October 16, 2023, Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel made his latest statements on the TV show Mesa Redonda, with the most meticulous mise-en-scene.
Between 2018 and 2022 the Cuban government appealed to “scheduled service interruptions” to cut domestic consumption by 10.6%. However, this saving wasn’t enough to compensate the electricity generation deficit, which was the result of fuel shortages and the deterioration of old power plants.
"What need is there in this country and at this time for our leaders and other public servants to want to be PhDs?"
The severe shortage of coffee in Cuba, high prices in the informal market and uncertainty about future harvests and imports have meant that this beverage, which used to be an accessible and standardized product in Cuba, has become a luxury item.
But as there’s nothing more healing than time, to set the stones back in their place, Celia Caridad Cruz Alfonso will return to Cuba.
Miguel Diaz Canel makes more trips abroad than to the Cuban provinces
Cuba is facing an intense drought despite heavy rains in the eastern part of the country. Investments in the hydraulic system are not keeping pace with the difficult water supply situation.
On July 11, 2021, the inhabitants of San Antonio de los Baños, a town southwest of Havana in the province of Artemisa, took to the streets to peacefully protest against the government and demand freedom, democracy and improvements in living conditions.
In the permanent chaos of current affairs, singer-songwriter Silvio Rodríguez and writer Carlos Alberto Montaner have once again made the news.
Future historians and sociologists who want to study what Cuba was between the second half of the 20th century and the first decades of the 21st century will perhaps only have to compile complaints, suggestions and nonsense surrounding this unbearable character called “bread” with “bodega” (ration store) as the last name.
elTOQUE tells the story of two Cuban emigrants: one who arrived in the United States among the first to leave Cuba at the beginning of 2022 and another who has not been able to realize her desire to do so, but in her mind has already left.
