SAN LUIS POTOSÍ, Mexico.- The Council of State of Cuba, at the proposal of the ruler Miguel Díaz-Canel, removed the vice prime minister from his position Jorge Luis Perdomo Di-Lella, as revealed in a statement released in media officials.
The released note alleges that Perdomo “incurred errors in the performance of his duties.”
Eduardo Martínez, head of Science, Technology and Environment (CITMA) since last February, was appointed in his place.
For his part, Doctor of Science Armando Rodríguez, vice minister of that entity, was appointed to head CITMA.
An Electronics and Telecommunications engineer and deputy for the municipality of Camagüey, Perdomo served as Minister of Communications from July 2018 to April 2021, when he was promoted to the position of deputy prime minister.
Perdomo Di-Lella had been dean and director of Research at the University of Computer Sciences, UCI), having left as a legacy of his ministerial management the implementation of the Decree-Law 370with which the regime tries to legitimize censorship and repression on the internet.
The brothers’ businesses
His brother Yoel Perdomo Di-Lella is one of the most important “private” entrepreneurs on the Island with participation in at least three companies, one of them registered in Panama and in the Cuban Chamber of Commerce as “foreign capital”, and the other two as MSMEs and “self-employed” businesses, focused on the production, sale and distribution of food, beverages, hardware and household appliances.
From simple maitre from the Comodoro hotel in the 90s, plus a short work stay at the Marina Hemingway, Yoel went on to work under the orders of Abraham Maciques at the Palacio de Convenciones de Havanaan opportunity that opened the doors of success to the shadows of power, especially when he became the best friend of Alfredo Maciques Rodríguez and together they assumed the direction of some of the many dark businesses of old Abraham, known for being one of the main financial front men of Fidel Castro.
Just a few months after Jorge Luis was appointed deputy prime minister, in August of that same year, Yoel was appointed director of Camax Chile SA, a supposed “foreign branch” that in February 2009 the Chilean resident in Cuba Carolina Rau Freraut, a friend of Alfredo, Maciques, had registered in Panama as its own, when in reality it is a off-shore dependent on Grupo Palco SA (In fact, the contact telephone number of Carolina Rau Freraut [7204 4735]according to ETECSA records, is located in the Convention Palace).
The Perdomo businesses expanded. Yoel Perdomo would also obtain, a couple of years later, authorization through the Resolution 392 of 2023 of the Ministry of Foreign Trade, to register in Havana a representative office of the “Panamanian” company Camax Chile SA (that is, the “Panamanian” counterpart of Palco SA), as stated in the Official Gazette No. 124 Ordinary 2023a legal act that would barely be the formalization of a business that already existed as part of Palco SA itself and that, according to the regime’s press, already functioned as the main supplier of high-quality drinks and food at the most important events. related to tourism on the Island.
