Havana.- “Oh, my Havana! Yes, yes!Blackout! ”
The UNE pleases to please, so they started sporadic cuts, once or twice a week, two or three hours. But it was not enough, according to my good compatriots of Havana, which assume that the fault of the tremendous blackouts that have occurred in the capital during the last days, the citizens of the East have.
It is true that when in all Cuba rained at least twelve hours, they never removed it in Havana. It is true that, not without reason, those harmed by that evil publicly questioned that in the capital they did not remove the current while they had them without sleep between heat and mosquitoes, hurrying to cook and, many times, with food rotting in the freezer. It is also true that many said, with a very bad entrail, that the island lived in the dark so that Havana had electricity and, consequently, they shouted for here to take it away also, so that the suffering was shared, although not even less.
Finally, here we are. So far from April to Havana it has touched basic, not basic and directed darkness, with up to three blackouts in the day, between three and five hours, with infernal early morning for some circuits. It can be said that we are entering the game where the other provinces await us, which right now they must be looking at us with the expression of the seasoned player, who has forged steel nerves or went to Bolina in a nervous collapse without return, where he does not matter eating food for humans than to eat of the garbage, or simply not to eat.
We are in the heating phase, anchoring the intermittent gloom before falling fully into the marathons of twelve, fifteen, twenty consecutive hours without current. National blackouts have shown that Havana are uncomfortable, but do not pass from there. No one can doubt that we focus on another long night within the night that began in January 1959, a scenario that shouts rebellion from east to the West, a national strike, a humanitarian intervention, annexation, whatever.
The prolonged cuts of electric fluid in the only city that was getting rid of them should be understood as a warning that the country is not generating money or to maintain its main economic, political, cultural and tourist node lighting. If the Habaneros are removing the current is not to give pleasure to the inhabitants of the provinces, but because the ordering, the rearrangement, the correction of distortions or bankruptcy. Nor are dollarization results, nor bait to attract foreign investment, nor the obsession with the photovoltaic parks that reminds other obsessions of the past, all failed and highly expensive.
Within the fall we are in a fragile pause for the “thinking tanks” to seek -rapidito- the way of not continuing to fall so rapidly. Verborrhea no longer helps them. The Russians continue to sign cooperation agreements, but without loosening silver, which is the part that many do not understand. In the news, the headlines over Cuba swarms signing cooperation agreements with half the world and people, by a strange association of ideas, converts that firm into money. After a few months, when we are worse, they wonder what happened to the agreement and the answer in front.
Yonvert in Cuba is synonymous with risk and loss. In a desperate movement, the same government that seeks to attract foreign capital, has just frozen accounts in foreign companies, prohibiting them from repatriating their funds. Spanish businessmen, who have been complicit to disgust, publicly recognize that it is a country with a lot of potential, but has stagnated. Thanks to those “loyal ones” that continued to see the Cuban regime, some millions fell to run to pay the fuel ship that had been waiting for weeks in territorial waters, the time to deliver the precious load that feeds, for a few days, the old thermoelectric plants whose repair no endearing country is encouraged to finance.
Now that the spring is almost dry, Havana cannot continue to escape from darkness. The end-final begins, which is still missing the ultimate end because, as a tocayo said in networks: Neocastrismo chose slow and painful death, even more for us, those below. Havana is headed towards days of very long hours without current to cheer up the compatriots who requested it, although the electric cuts in the capital have not modified, not even in half a minute, the brutal blackout plan that the dictatorship prepared especially for them.
