The central-southern province of Sancti Spiritus, like the rest of the island, applies measures to alleviate the effects on the population and maintain economic vitality, despite the aftermath of the U.S. blockade against Cuba.

Due to this policy of siege during the last few weeks, Cuba saw the normal arrival of tankers interrupted due to threats from Washington against fuel suppliers and other insurance companies.

The declared intention of depriving Cuba of energy inputs is genocidal, according to the Cuban president, who is accompanied in this provincial capital by ministers, deputy ministers and other officials, as well as the top local authorities.
