AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

Cuba’s Power and Water Crisis Hits Schools: With the 2026-2027 school year set to start Sept. 1, students and teachers in Cuba face a harsh reality of blackouts and shortages, as activists warn classrooms can’t function without electricity, water, food, and health services; Holguín alone says it’s short more than 2,000 teachers, while eastern provinces report outages lasting a week or more. Humanitarian Conditions Under Strain: In Contramaestre, pregnant women at a Santiago de Cuba hospital were reportedly forced to carry buckets of water up stairs due to basic service failures, adding to mounting complaints about neglected facilities. Energy Infrastructure Under Pressure: A pipeline break affecting crude supply to the Guiteras thermoelectric plant shows how fragile Cuba’s energy system remains, even as repairs require long, high-risk work. Local Anger Over Uneven Fixes: Residents in Mantilla, Camagüey accuse authorities of solving water problems only when leaders are rumored to visit, after two years without service. U.S.-Cuba Tensions in the Spotlight: In Massachusetts, activists staged banners reading “No to war against Cuba,” urging an end to intensified U.S. pressure and warning of rising confrontation risk. Cuban Economy at the Kitchen Level: Chicken picadillo prices jumped sharply, reflecting wider price chaos after Cuba removed national price caps on key goods.
