The Cuban government agency in Caibarién city receives individuals who “bring their own electricity” in the form of generators in the Madrid-based outlet Diario de cuba, a nearly never-ending power outage in Cuba. It has been reported on tuesday.
The disastrous communist policy of over 60 years, enacted by the Castro administration, has put Cuba in a serious humanitarian crisis and almost completely collapsed the nation's barely functional infrastructure. The dramatic situation has been systematically worsening in recent years, leading to the worst immigration crisis in Cuban history and its continued collapse. population.
Cuba's abandoned power grid has already forced Cubans to force almost never-ending power outages every day in recent years. It fell A few times at the end of 2024. The Castro administration was able to bring it back online, but many of them remained offline and unpacked, unable to power Cuba at once, making it even worse.
In February, the Castro regime was temporarily Paused All two days of education and work activities in a desperate effort to reduce the country's power consumption are hosting a trade fair for left-wing books that unlike the rest of the country, unlike in other parts of the country, are not affected by the blackout.
Diario de Cuba said that although there was no official announcement, employees from several government agencies confirmed with the outlet that a measure that required individuals to have their own power in order to standby was “approved by the higher authorities.”
“If you bring your own electricity, we'll be there to you.” It is the answer found by people, like most of Cuba, trying to access several services of the state agency of Villa Clara in Kaibalien, which was affected by long blackouts during working hours,” the report read.
Some of the offices listed by the outlets that have enacted a new policy at Caibarién include the state-owned Popular Savings Bank (BPA), offices for notaries, the Housing and Land Registration Bureau, Registrar and local branches of the Land Registration Bureau. Individuals who need services from listed offices must bring their own generators to provide power, as power outages often occur during business hours.
The unidentified BPA employee explained to Diario de Cuba that he was “officially consulted and approved by the high authorities of the ministries.” The employee said he passed the information to a line of individuals tired of waiting for the rapidly formed power to return after seeing the bank open.
“The solution came to this area as an alternative to the permanent presence of electricity, primarily powered at dawn and only a two-three hours of continuous hours associated with sunlight,” the employee explained to Diario de Cuba.
A Caibarién's Notary's Office employee, who spoke to Diario de Cuba anonymously for fear of Reprisal, said the bride and groom who went to the office to marry “on the runaway,” “not because they're in love too, but because they plan to move together.” The workers noted that couples who want to marry are frustrated if they don't have a generator to bring to the office to receive services.
Asked if the couple could instead marry on the adjacent civil registration, the worker explained that even if they brought in a generator, the registration act could not be handled there as electricity is required for Remedio and Kamajuani municipalities.
Diario de Cuba explained that the Castro administration's Single Citizen Information System (SUIC) platform requires that the central offices of Havana and certain regional offices have power and internet connections to receive their passports or other civil registration-related services.
Diario de Cuba reported that local officials from the Cuban Ministry of Interior gave similar explanations to a group of individuals desperately seeking a passport. Officials were able to hand out new IDs without requiring electricity, but she explained that the passport “is not given to you for registration reasons”, suggesting that even if you pay a 2,500 Cuban peso (about $104) passport fee, the applicant could still be labeled “.”Regulations” system effectively prohibits Cubans from traveling abroad using their passports.
“I'm sorry, but the passports are made in Havana, not Villa Clara. I'm well aware of the difficulties the country is facing to resolve transportation issues. Officials from the Ministry of Home Affairs have reportedly reportedly reportedly to groups of individuals waiting for their passports since December that some of them have already lost their flight tickets.
Spanish national Helen Sanchez told Diario de Cuba that she recently married Caivalien's hometown, explaining that she had to buy gasoline for the generator “in the euro” so that her mother-in-law could use a generator borrowed from her neighbor to handle the sale of her home.
“Bank managers will give us preferences until they fix a generator that has been broken for years, or bring in a new one and give us enough fuel to start it. After that, service will depend on people like us.”
