AGP Executive Report

Last update: 4 hours ago

US Sanctions & Health Crisis: The U.S. embassy in Havana issued a health alert over a rise in diarrheal illness tied to failing water and electricity, while Washington rolled out fresh sanctions hitting Cuba’s power-grid supply chain and Raul Castro’s grandson—called “collective punishment” by Cuban officials. Power, Food, and Daily Hardship: Cubans report blackouts lasting around 36 hours, heat-rash in children, and the strain of feeding kids—one school snack list topped 500 pesos. Economy & Rules for Businesses: Prime Minister Manuel Marrero backed new decree-laws to expand state and private business autonomy, while Cuba also moves ahead with more private travel agencies and foreign investment openings. State Media Shake-Up: The PCC appointed a new director for Sierra Maestra amid a broader crisis in state-run media printing and distribution. Local Governance Under Pressure: Camagüey residents complain about price hikes as inspectors patrol markets, and Artemisa residents denounce a garbage-filled street left blocked after a “cleanup.” Culture & Education: UNESCO prepares to release ERCE 2025 learning results across Latin America and the Caribbean, with Cuba among participating countries, as Cuba’s school year begins amid shortages. Safety & Accidents: A homemade tractor crash in Sagua de Tánamo left at least three dead and five injured.
