AREQUIPA, Peru – Future “improvements” in the economy based on the sacrifice of Cubans, “without risking the Revolution.” That was the prediction for the island from Cuban Prime Minister Manuel Marrero Cruz, who participated in an interview with Hispan TVfrom Iran.
The Castro leader tried to defend the package of measures euphemistically called by the Cuban regime as a “government program to correct distortions and boost the economy.” To that end, he stated that the government on the island will apply “the policies necessary to strengthen the economy, without risking the Revolution.”
According to Marrero, the authorities may consider all the ways possible to achieve economic growth, predicting that he sees an improvement in the situation in about five years.
The official, who was in Tehran last July, was sent to participate in the inauguration of the president of Iran, Masud Pezeshkian. In his statements he took for granted the sacrifice and meekness of the Cuban people, asserting that progress on the Island would be achieved without “renouncing the founding principles of the Revolution.”
“We will continue to defend the Revolution, despite all these cruel attacks on social media. We will continue to defend our Socialism and we have a people who are willing to accompany us in these tough battles,” he said.
Marrero also used the official rhetoric of the dictatorship, saying that the path to future prosperity was “very hard” and “very difficult,” but “the revolution has gone through it.” most difficult moments and has achieved victory (…) We never promise our people what we cannot deliver.”
According to the Prime Minister, the goal is to “move forward at a steady pace”, “facing all challenges”, “until victory always”.
In contrast to the discourse of the Castro dictatorship, which calls for sacrifices and resistance from a people in constant crisis and experiencing the greatest shortage in decades, the leadership of the Cuban Communist Party and its descendants live lives of luxury and excess.
Last January, photos of some holidays in spain Marrero’s son. The young man shared on his Instagram account some moments of his stay in the Iberian country. In the photos he appears with several friends having fun in tourist sites, one of them was the ancient city of Toledo, south of Madrid.
For his part, Sandro Castro, grandson of the late dictator Fidel Castro, once again sparked outrage among Cubans last month with a post on social media.
Once again, Sandro uses digital platforms to show off his life of luxury while the Cuban people fight daily against the hunger and misery.
In a shared image, Sandro appears in the luxurious “El Patrón” estate, drinking beer and enjoying a comfortable sofa with clothes from well-known brands and the latest iPhone. This ostentation has generated a wave of comments from indignant citizens who cannot understand how it is possible that someone can live so oblivious and indifferent to the reality that surrounds them.
