Cuban Foreign Minister Rodriguez: Power outages in the country are a result of the siege in the energy sector
Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez said, "The power outages across the country are a direct result of the blockade imposed by the US on Cuba, particularly the siege in the energy sector."

 

Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez made a statement on his social media account regarding the outages in the National Electric System (SEN) and the US embargo on his country. Rodriguez stated, "The power outages across the country are a direct result of the blockade imposed by the US on Cuba, which we describe as genocidal, particularly the siege in the energy sector. The US embargo on Cuba not only prevents the free import of fuel but also blocks the entry of necessary spare parts and equipment for the National Electric System (SEN) into the country. It also complicates cooperation with experts from other countries and makes access to international financing more difficult," he said.
