The extended blackouts have left Cuba's capital paralyzed, escalating tensions and leading to protests, with citizens expressing their frustrations over the energy crisis and inadequate resources.
Mayde Quiñones, a homemaker, emphasized the hardships faced by the elderly during the crisis, stating, "This hurts everyone, but the elderly most of all," highlighting the urgent need for government intervention.
President Miguel Díaz-Canel rejected the protests, warning, "we're not going to allow any vandalism or let anyone disturb people's tranquility," indicating the government's strict stance on civil unrest.
The government faces mounting pressure as the economic crisis leads to the exodus of citizens, with 500,000 Cubans fleeing to the US over the past few years.
