Cuba's President Miguel Díaz-Canel:
The blackout is not merely a problem of megawatts or generation deficits.
The blackout is the child who could not study for an exam, the food that spoiled in a refrigerator.
It is the elderly person who spends the night awake, without rest, in the heat.
It is the hospital operating at its limits, the clinic unable to preserve medicine, the worker who loses a day of labor, and the business forced to close.
That is why energy is not a technical issue; it is a human, economic, and national issue.
