Two hurricanes and an earthquake have combined to make more difficult these last two months of a year that will leave us with many bad memories and disappointments.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The damage is difficult to quantify, but, without a doubt, the cost of these three events for the national economy is very high. And even higher because the economic and physical conditions of the country \u201cmade it easier\u201d for the destruction to go beyond the imagination.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These events made more evident the deficiencies of the infrastructure \u2015 water, electricity, telecommunications, roads, etc. \u2015 that we already knew of and suffered from, and also those associated with processes in which systematicity has been lost, such as tree pruning, systematic collection of solid waste, etc. In these services, it is proven that the enterprises in charge have not fulfilled what the people entrusted to them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are multiple causes, some alien and external \u2015 such as the limitations imposed by the blockade \u2015 but others not, and these are associated with management and leadership errors and above all with the lack of decision in matters that at least in theory \u2015 the Guidelines, the Conceptualization \u2015 were apparently agreed upon.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How is it possible that we are burdened for years with so many inefficiencies and deficiencies in a waste collection service that does not guarantee the hygiene of towns and neighborhoods? How is it possible that the preventive pruning service is not carried out properly, although several enterprises are in charge? Why, if state enterprises cannot, is it not possible to resort to and encourage the creation of non-state enterprises in options such as public-private partnerships?<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_313201\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-313201\" style=\"width: 1800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/basura-vedado-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-313201\" src=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/basura-vedado-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1210\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/basura-vedado-1.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/basura-vedado-1-300x202.jpg 300w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/basura-vedado-1-1024x688.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/basura-vedado-1-768x516.jpg 768w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/basura-vedado-1-1536x1033.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/basura-vedado-1-750x504.jpg 750w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/basura-vedado-1-1140x766.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-313201\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Garbage obstructs a street in the Vedado neighborhood in Havana. Photo: MRS.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today, a significant part of the damage to the transmission network is due to the massive fall of trees on the networks. Governments and local enterprises involved in these services lack the capacity to respond adequately to return the population to this special normality that we suffer in a reasonable time, despite the enormous effort made by their workers, officials, organizations, and the army.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hurricane Rafael surpassed us, due to its devastating force and the accumulation of weaknesses that it took advantage of.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The hurricane season has not ended and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/cuba\/se-forma-la-depresion-tropical-19-y-de-momento-los-pronosticos-la-alejan-de-cuba\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>tropical depression number 19 has just formed<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in the Caribbean Sea, south of Cuba, with great possibility of becoming a hurricane. So far, this one might not affect us \u2014 we have to be vigilant \u2014 but we are all very worried.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Given these circumstances, there is little we can do other than prepare better and learn from what happened to us with Rafael, just as we learned from what happened with Oscar in Guantanamo a few days before. With Rafael, the information reached everyone and it was possible to avoid the most costly and painful loss, that of human beings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The other hurricane, which does directly threaten our country, will last at least four years. It will affect the entire island, from one tip to the other, from the north coast to the last of our keys on the south coast. There is no need to speculate about its trajectory or the strength of its winds. That other hurricane will be managed by the same team that designed Trump\u2019s policy towards Cuba (2017-2021), and which Biden maintained almost to the letter.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In recent days I have been crammed with post-mortem comments about Trump\u2019s victory and the defeat of the Democrats\u2019 political apparatus, which is much more than Kamala. And also about the meaning of such an overwhelming victory insofar as it expresses the values <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">of the majority of the U.S. population that voted for the ideas that Trump knew how to sell, taking advantage of the disenchantment and weariness with the Democrats\u2019 administration.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Indecision, incoherence, unfulfilled promises are some of the worst diseases that a government can suffer from. They are usually fatal and the Democrats are paying for it today and will probably continue to pay for it for a long time.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_313200\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-313200\" style=\"width: 1340px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/sismo-2024-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-313200\" src=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/sismo-2024-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1340\" height=\"893\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/sismo-2024-1.jpg 1340w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/sismo-2024-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/sismo-2024-1-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/sismo-2024-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/sismo-2024-1-750x500.jpg 750w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/sismo-2024-1-1140x760.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1340px) 100vw, 1340px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-313200\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Damage to homes after the earthquake in the Pil\u00f3n municipality.

They are going to \u201cmodernize\u201d\/\u201cupdate\u201d the policy designed eight years ago to exert more pressure on the country, and comply with that memorandum of the Eisenhower administration more than sixty years ago that has been a mandate for each one of the U.S. administrations since then.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That, like the recent hurricanes, they are going to take advantage of each and every one of our many weaknesses. It is not news. They were already doing it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We are in what Acemoglu calls a \u201ccritical juncture.\u201d That is, \u201cmajor events that disrupt the existing political and economic equilibrium in one or many societies.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is not written or predetermined what the results will be; we do not know today if this new season will end in a success that will prolong the stay of this \u201cnew\u201d Republican Party \u2014 perhaps with Marcos Rubio at the head as a possible next president \u2014 or if, on the contrary, it will lead the United States to processes that endanger the very essence of the union.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But what we do know is that, in any of its variants, this critical situation is decisive for our country.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To think that a saving hand will appear that will allow us to continue surviving is as naive and dangerous as giving up fighting every day against this policy that is drowning us. We need to strengthen our neck muscles.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We need profound institutional changes that will allow our country to adapt to this \u201ccritical situation,\u201d reduce its impact, take advantage of the spaces it may leave, promote and encourage inclusive growth, make the reforms we need, and, above all, start now, because time is not on our side.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For the moment, we are only in the eye of the hurricane.
