Power slowly being restored to Cuba as crews work round the clock

LARGE parts of Cuba remained without power on Thursday nearly a day after a huge blackout hit the western part of the island in the latest outage caused by the intensification of the illegal United States blockade of the Caribbean island.Crews worked overnight to repair a broken boiler at one of Cuba’s largest thermoelectric plants, but officials have warned that it could take three to four days for power to be fully restored.

Blockade of Cuba is now putting lives at risk, minister warns

THE INTENSIFYING US blockade of Cuba threatens “basic human safety,” Cuban Health Minister Jose Angel Portal Miranda warned at the weekend.Decades of illegal sanctions against the socialist island have long stretched Cuba’s health system, which nevertheless boasts one of the highest life expectancies in the region and the highest doctor-to-patient ratio in the world.“You cannot damage a state’s economy without affecting its inhabitants,” Mr Portal said in an interview with Associated Press. “This situation could put lives at risk.”

“[Rubio’s] priorities speak volumes: financing Israel genocide on Palestine, torturing Cuba, going after health care services for those who need them most,”
Diplomat Johana Tablada.

🇨🇺✊🏽 Fiesta de Solidaridad: Von Kuba lernen, für Kuba kämpfen, mit Kuba feiern!

Cuba sí feiert mit Tausenden Kubafreund*innen die „Fiesta de Solidaridad“ zum kubanischen Nationalfeiertag am 26. Juli in der Parkaue im Berliner Bezirk Lichtenberg.

Wie immer: mit Volxküche (Chili con Soja) und Infoständen vom autonomen Stadtteilladen Zielona Góra.

📅 26.07. | 14—22 Uhr
📍Parkaue Lichtenberg (Berlin)

Auf der Bühne erwartet die Gäste ein abwechslungsreiches Musik- und Talkprogramm und bei der großen Solidaritätstombola als spektakulärer Hauptpreis eine Flugreise nach Kuba!

Als Höhepunkte des Abends freuen wir uns immer auf lateinamerikanisch Musik insbesondere Musik aus Kuba, die mit ihren Musiker*innen die Tanzbeine zum Schwingen bringen wird. Denn erfrischende Mojitos und karibische Rhythmen dürfen natürlich nicht fehlen.

Neben Neuigkeiten aus Kuba in verschiedenen Podiumsrunden, u.a. zur wirtschaftlichen Situation und aus den Cuba sí Solidaritätsprojekten zur nachhaltigen Landwirtschaft und im Gesundheitswesen, gibt es viele Infos über unsere Soliarbeit.

Auf dem Festgelände präsentieren rund 35 Stände Politisches, Kulturelles, Literarisches und Kulinarisches aus und über Lateinamerika und Kuba.

Das Symbol M-26-7 steht für Movimiento 26 de Julio, die Bewegung 26.Juli, mit deren Sturm auf die Moncada-Kaserne in Santiago de Cuba 1953 die kubanische Revolution unter Fidel Castro begann.

Und das Beste zum Schluss – der Eintritt ist frei!
Nos vemos – wir sehen uns!

“If you can’t do business with any country, if you have to pay three or four times the regular cost of everything because you’re buying from faraway countries, if you can’t use dollars, if you can’t create bank accounts, if you can’t pay with credit cards, there is nothing you can do,”
