The Cuban president resorted to Mart\u00ed’s well-known phrase about “those who love and build” and “those who hate and destroy,” to distinguish the reactions to the energy “situation” the island is currently experiencing and that has caused strong tensions in transportation, in the productive activity and services\u2015having to make schedule and labor regimen readjustments\u2015but has not resulted in major blackouts, the most feared of the ghosts from the Special Period of the 1990s.<\/span><\/p>\n

When initiating an article signed and published this Friday in <\/span>Granma<\/span><\/a><\/em>, D\u00edaz-Canel quotes the Cuban national hero, ratifying the idea of \u200b\u200bthe sides and the difference between good and bad. He celebrates the resilience and solidarity of the “perceptible and powerful majority” of the people against the “indisputable bad times that the new twist of the arrogant and abusive empire imposes on us.”<\/span><\/p>\n

At the same time, he insists on his call to “think as a country, with the conviction that the source of collective intelligence is inexhaustible.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Both in this text as in recent meetings with officials from several provinces of the country, the Cuban president has insisted on “rescuing experiences from the most difficult years, to revive saving and efficiency practices of the special period.”<\/span><\/p>\n
