The recently released program # DesdeLaPresidencia, which is hosted by the despicable and unpopular Díaz-Canel, shared a bunch of lies.
It is a new communication space that tries to pass as a podcast and will address, according to the state press, the issues that “they set Cuba’s agenda.”
Everything indicates that it will be another unbearable “tobacco”, that the hungry and oppressed people, the same people who already asked for #NoMásMuela, in the #17M protests, are not going to be shot.
The first, among the many lies that were heard in the opening program, was that “Very few countries in the world have the level of electrification that Cuba has.”
This was said by the Minister of Energy and Mines, Vicente de la O Levy, while Canel was arguing with the official “journalist” Arleen Rodríguez Derivet.

Levy has come out to justify the blackouts on the island with the backward mentality that “In the world there are millions without electricity.”
“There are countries that have implemented measures that do not provide electricity for the entire year and do not provide electricity to the entire country,” said the official, a regular face of the Round Table.
The Minister assured that, with the triumph of the so-called “Cuban revolution”, there were six million inhabitants on the Island and the level of electrification was 50%.
“It was in the provincial capitals that there was electricity, with motors in some cases, with some electrical plants”he assured.
Regarding his assertion that there are very few countries in the world that have the level of electrification that Cuba has, he did not present data or statistics to substantiate such assertion.

According to the website Enerdataglobal electricity generation increased by 2.3% in 2022, in line with its historical trend (+2.5%/year during 2010-2019).
This source specifies that three nations (China, India and the United States) stimulated the growth of global electricity production, with significant increases in Indonesia (+7.9%) and Saudi Arabia (+5.9%).
Only three nations, in the case of America, reported growth in electricity production: Brazil, Mexico, Canada.

The Cuban educator, writer and researcher José Gabriel Barrenechea Chávez stated that in 1958 Cuba was the Third World country with the highest per capita energy production, another indicator to take into account.
“We even surpassed some nations like Spain, Greece, or Ireland, which today hold a place among developed economies.”
Barrenechea cites data from World Geographic Pocket Atlasprinted in 1963 in what was then Czechoslovakia, by the Institute of Cartography.
This material provided many of the data that apparently neither the Sitio a Dedo nor its Minister of Energy and Mines has in hand.
The researcher, cited by the magazine Cuba Encounterrecalled that 172 Cuban sugar mills supplied electricity to their bateyes and some small related factories, including alcohol distilleries and sugar refineries.
In this regard, the influencer Alexander Otaola recalled that these factories to produce the candy disappeared due to the “genius” ideas of the dictator Fidel Castro Ruz, who dismantled, gave away, sold and dilapidated these mills.
The conclusions of the study presented by José Gabriel Barrenechea Chávez are forceful, where he reaffirms that it is a myth that at the triumph of the Revolution Cuba was one of the worst global examples in terms of electrification.
“On the contrary, Cuba had a per capita electricity production rate that was only inferior to Argentina in Latin America, and was far ahead of all African or Asian countries.”
To conclude, according to the World Bank in a report published on June 6, 2023, it states that in 2010, 84% of the world’s population had electricity, this percentage increased to 91% in 2021 (that is, more of one billion people gained such access).
