Cuba: Marrero Cruz – “The most Important & Difficult Stage Begins with the Implementation of the 176 National Transformations!” (31.7.2026)

Towards the end of his speech, he said that recently the Executive Committee of the Council of Ministers approved an important budget to pay the debts contracted by state entities with producers of milk, meat and other agricultural productions in order to settle the debts, information that will arrive in detail in the coming days to Cuban peasants.

The agricultural producer, district delegate and deputy for the Havana municipality of Arroyo Naranjo, Emilio Interián, told Parliament that he has no doubt that these measures will be the solution to many problems: “The decisions approved exceed those we proposed or came to think. Results will be seen by the day. Their impact will be short, but on their own they will not solve the most critical problems that the population suffers.”

At another point in his speech, the legislator recounted the vicissitudes that the population is experiencing due to the prolonged power cuts and was critical in denouncing a group of problems that, from his experience as a grassroots delegate, he faces in Arroyo Naranjo.

Cubans Assist Venezuelans During Earthquake!

Cuba: Socialist Doctors Search Under the Rubble for the Heartbeat of Venezuelan Comrades! (29.6.2026)

The same ones we met knocking on doors in La Quebradita, asking about the hypertensive, the asthmatic, the child with a fever. The same ones who climbed hills with a light backpack and an infinite load of humanity.

But now they don’t go up: they run, they leave without time, without rest, without guarantees. They wrap themselves in their medical robes – as if they were invisible cloaks – and throw themselves against disaster.

There is no protocol that is enough when life slips through the fingers, and even so, they improvise, resist, save.

We saw them do it before: Lidia talking until her death as if she were an old acquaintance, refusing to let her in; or Yanara opening the door at dawn because someone was knocking urgently; and Jorge, telling how a girl was born against all logic in the middle of nowhere.

Now those stories are repeated, but with the tremor still beating under the feet.

An old man rescued from the ruins in Catia, a woman being treated in the middle of the street, with dust still falling from her face, a child who breathes again thanks to hands that did not ask where he came from, but where he could return.

They don’t have all the necessary resources, they don’t have rest. Cuba cannot send riches to this tragedy, but years ago it sent something more difficult to sustain: men and women capable of staying when everything collapses.

In the hills, people do not call them by name, they point to them with a mixture of faith and urgency, as if they were the last frontier between life and oblivion.

“Here come the Cubans,” they say. And in that phrase there is relief, there is hope, there is something like a miracle.

They are not gods, but on days like these, when the earth betrays and the sky does not respond, they are too much more useful.

Cuba: The Socialist Ambulance Service – The Sound of Life! (1.4.2026)

When you dial 104 on the phone, on the other end of the line not only operators answer. They answer stories. And, in Ciego de Ávila, these stories have not been written for more than a decade: that of a deceased on board an ambulance.

Reimundo Pineda Estrada, a graduate in Nursing – and in Economics – in charge of Human Resources at the Regional Ambulance Base of Ciego de Ávila, says it with the confidence of someone who knows every statistic, every route, every man and woman who makes up the Integrated Medical Emergency Service (SIUM) in the province, of which he is the founder.

“So far we have not had any loss of human life during the transfer to the healthcare centers,” he says. And the phrase, said like this, without fuss, weighs like an ingot. Because behind that statement there are ten years of statistics, two decades without a final sigh inside a mobile unit, with thousands of patients transferred within the province and outside it.

Ten years in more than 6,000 square kilometres of Ávila’s geography – and beyond the limits of the province – figures that no medical report can fully reflect.

European Solidarity Convoy to Cuba - Let Cuba Breath!

Cuba: European Solidarity Convoy Arrives in Havana! (18.3.2026)

Also a French MEP, Emma Fourreau, insisted that the first thing to do for the cause of the Caribbean nation is to talk to the whole world about it and how it is affected by the economic war that is being applied to it.

In this way, she pointed out that by knowing first-hand the Cuban reality they will be able to be better spokespersons for the Cuban struggle at the international level.

“The most important thing is to listen and learn what Cubans have to say; This is a first step, a symbolic action that will attract the attention of the rest of the planet,” she concluded.

Cuba’s ambassador to Italy, Jorge Luis Cepero, went to Rome’s Fiumicino Airport on Tuesday to bid farewell to the members of the European Solidarity Convoy that left for Havana.

The diplomat highlighted in statements to reporters at that air terminal the relevance of the gesture, a sign of the close ties of friendship that unite the peoples of Italy and Cuba, and of the strong rejection in this nation of the genocidal economic, commercial and financial blockade of the United States against the island.

Holy Indian Guru Sai Baba!

Venezuela: Sai Baba & Religion in Uncertain Times! (25.11.2025)

Human evolution appears to possess a “religious” imperative – which I think might be due to sentient-beings experiencing determined material processes – with no physical ability to prevent these processes from unfolding or occurring. Why does theistic religion persist? Well, we are all born – and we will all cease to physically function at some point in future time and space (that is “die”). Whilst the biologically explainable process of “birth” is generally welcomed (within a range of certain caveats) – death is generally disdained, and herein lies the polarity that gives rise to religion – namely “uncertainty”.
