Cuba has managed to reconnect the national electric grid and restart the largest oil-fired power plant, ending a national blackout that lasted over 29 hours. This situation was exacerbated by the restrictions imposed by the U.S. on oil sales to the island. Although power has been restored, officials warn that the electricity shortage could continue due to insufficient production. Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel criticized the constant threats from Washington, accusing it of wanting to take control of the country's resources. Additionally, Cuba has faced difficulties in obtaining fuel, receiving only two small ships with oil imports this year. Despite the challenges, Cubans continue to cope with the situation calmly, as they have always done.
