Cuban retirees struggle to access remittances in cash, facing banking restrictions and frustration. Where is their money?
The night of March 14, 2025, Cuba has been experiencing its fourth nationwide blackout in the past five months. On social media, citizens have reported the impact of the power outage on several hospitals across the country.
The island is in darkness again. Around 8:15 p.m. on March 14, 2025, a failure at the Diezmero substation caused a significant generation loss in the western part of the country, leading to the collapse of the National Power Grid, said the Ministry of Energy and Mines.
Launched in 2016 by Chinese company Bytedance Technology Co., TikTok is a social network based on short looping videos. The platform allows users to create, edit, and share audiovisual content of up to 3 minutes – although longer options exist.
The Cuban Government is once again extending the tariff benefit for non-commercial traveler imports of foodstuffs, toiletries, medicines and electricity generation equipment. The regulations for such tariff exemptions were published in the Extraordinary Gazette No. 2 on January 29, 2025.
The decision came just one month after Biden had declared otherwise, extending Cuba’s designation on the list for another year.
In a surprise move, the Biden administration removed Cuba from the list of state sponsors of terrorism. According to Martí Noticias, in exchange, the Cuban government promised to release political prisoners.
Venezuelan citizens took to the streets on Thursday January 9th to defend Edmundo Gonzalez’s electoral victory of July 28, 2024. Opposition leader Maria Corina Machado called for nationwide demonstrations to support Gonzalez’s potential inauguration on January 10.
The Cuban government has acknowledged that it will only be able to address 50% of the damage to roofs of homes caused by hurricanes Oscar and Rafael, as well as the earthquakes on November 10, 2024.
On the morning of Sunday, November 10, 2024, a pair of high-intensity earthquakes shook the southern part of eastern Cuba. The tremors were recorded by the National Center for Seismological Research (Cenais) and the United States Geological Survey.
The election between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump was decided in the early hours (local time) of November 6, 2024. Trump won the “swing states” of Georgia, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and North Carolina, giving him the necessary electoral votes to gain the presidency.
On Thursday, October 17, 2024, more than half of Cuba was without electricity, according to data from the state Electric Co. (UNE). On the same day, Prime Minister Manuel Marrero appeared on national television to address the energy “emergency” in a broadcast that was delayed due to “technical difficulties”.
Swiss diplomat Mauro Reina, currently ambassador to Denmark, denounced the situation of repression that Cubans experience on the island on October 1, 2024, in Madrid, Spain.
Using statements obtained under coercion and interrogation sessions lasting between eight and 12 hours, filled with threats and blackmail, the scriptwriters of State Security’s Villa Marista headquarters will pretend to have conducted a criminal investigation with guarantees and to have uncovered a new “conspiracy against Cuba.”
The reality, however, is quite different.
The new operation involves an ongoing criminal persecution for the alleged crime of “mercenarism,” which was incorporated into Article 143 of the Penal Code after its reform in 2022. Receiving funds used to carry out activities “contrary to the Cuban State and its constitutional order,” is now a crime punishable by between four and ten years imprisonment.
