Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel reported today via the social network X that the National Electro-energetic System's situation will be particularly tense in the coming days.

"For today's session, a deficit of more than 2,000 MW is forecasted during peak demand hours or the nightly peak. This dramatic worsening has a single cause: the genocidal energy blockade to which the United States subjects our country, threatening irrational tariffs against any nation that provides us with fuel," expressed the Head of State.

"This Wednesday, for example, the amount of generation lost in Cuba due to fuel unavailability, caused by this criminal siege, amounts to 1,100 MW. The best demonstration of what we affirm lies in the noticeable improvement of service during the month of April. The arrival at a Cuban port of just one fuel tanker—out of the eight needed as a minimum each month—allowed for a reduction in the deficit and, consequently, the blackouts which, although they did not disappear entirely, managed to be mitigated," he added.

In recent days, U.S. media outlets have shown bewilderment in the face of the heroic resistance of the Cuban people and the firmness and unbreakable unity of our Government. They have had to recognize that, despite bloody economic and energy suffocation measures, Cuba remains standing, admitting that the crisis is the result of a severe economic war and energy persecution.

"In short: what the spokespersons of the U.S. regime try to show the world as a direct consequence of poor management by the Cuban government is, in reality, the result of a perverse plan that intends to drive the people's shortages and difficulties to extreme levels. Neither the blockade implemented more than six decades ago, nor the 243 tightening measures imposed by the previous Trump administration, could destroy the Revolution," the President asserted.

Díaz-Canel characterized the new executive order that totally blocks fuel supplies as a perverse design whose main objective is the suffering of the entire population, taking them hostage to lead them against the Government.

Furthermore, he assured that the relaxation of some blockade measures a few years ago evidenced how much both peoples can benefit from commercial relations and economic and social development, were this draconian policy not to exist.

"Our response remains the same: always open to dialogue on equal terms, we will continue resisting and creating, increasingly convinced that it is up to us to leap over enormous difficulties through our own efforts, united as a nation, and firm in facing the toughest challenges," he stated.
