Guantanamo.- In Guantánamo, there will be no impunity regarding manifestations of crime, corruption, and social indiscipline associated with the current electro-energetic contingency in Cuba. This firm statement was made Thursday by Yoel Pérez García, First Secretary of the Communist Party Provincial Committee, during the regular socio-economic vitality meeting.
At the committee headquarters, Pérez García demanded clarification of several incidents occurring in the territory, including sabotage at the Santa Teresa-Los Güiros photovoltaic park and investigations into livestock damages at the “Gabriel Lamot” enterprise in Niceto Pérez. These cases underscore that vandalism and wrongdoing will not be tolerated in the province.
During the session with provincial directors, Pérez García emphasized the need for systematic and continuous actions to ensure potable water supply to underserved communities such as those in Manuel Tames municipality and the areas of Maquey, Romelié, Boquerón, Héctor Infante, and Patrulla. He proposed better utilization of natural wells, photovoltaic hydraulic pumps, and fuels to improve water availability.
Denis Boizan, Provincial Director of the Bank of Credit and Commerce, acknowledged progress in pension and retirement payments overall but pointed out operational delays in Manuel Tames due to limited cash inflows at the local branch.
Further concerns were raised by Joaquín Díaz, Director of the Guantánamo Electric Company, who highlighted disruptions in water pumping from the plant in La Indiana community, El Salvador municipality, caused by the malicious theft of dielectric oil from high-voltage transformers.
Similarly, Erlan Expósito, Deputy Director of the Provincial Food Industry Enterprise, reported that the supply of wheat flour remains insufficient for producing rationed bread.
Deliveries depend on irregular shipments arriving at Santiago de Cuba port, compounded by fuel shortages that hinder transportation to Guantánamo.
Despite these challenges, the municipality of Maisí once again earned recognition for its socio-economic achievements. It was selected to host the provincial event commemorating the 73rd anniversary of the Moncada and Carlos Manuel de Céspedes barracks assaults.
The commendation highlighted successful sales, export revenues, agricultural productivity, and progress in energy matrix transitions, among other positive indicators.
Guantánamo continues advancing efforts to safeguard popular welfare through coordinated management, accountability, and sustainable development initiatives amid ongoing difficulties.
