Havana in the dark: Cuba's strom crisis escalated!

Havanna, Kuba - in Cuba the darkness turns over Havana, while a massive power failure plunges the country into a comprehensive energy crisis. In front of the backdrop of the burning darkness, in which only hotels and hospitals donate a weak light thanks to generators, the citizens find themselves together in the streets and in places. It hurts, but you know that this situation is nothing new. The Cubans have been suffering from frequent, extreme power outages for years, with the temperatures above 30 degrees additionally tightening the situation.

The crisis escalated when one of the most important power plants went surprisingly from the network and the national government around Prime Minister Manuel Marrero announced measures to save energy and fuel. The President Miguel Díaz-Canel blames the United States for the misery and speaks of an "economic war" that reinforces the ongoing problems. People are frustrated, the anger blooms on social media, and basic care has been a bitter reality. The last nationwide power failures occurred according to the hurricane "Ian" and led to massive protests that today appear unlikely in the changed political landscape. The struggle for light and energy is far from over, reports www.radioherford.de .
