00:00 And from Cuba, the ex-account of the Presidency of the Republic announced the creation of
00:05 a new space for communication, which will be hosted by President Miguel Díaz-Canel,
00:09 to address the country's news and issues.
00:12 From the Presidency is the name given to the YouTube channel, and in its first episode
00:17 the head of state commented on the events of last Sunday, March 17th, when citizens
00:22 from some localities of the country took to the streets to protest against the long blackouts
00:28 and delays in the delivery of the standard family basket.
00:32 Far-right-wing news media and US politicians took advantage of these events to motivate
00:37 a social outbreak on the island.
00:40 Alongside the Minister of Energy, Vicente de la O. Levi, Díaz-Canel analyzed the current
00:45 energy situation in the country and the prospects for a short and medium-term solution.
00:56 The Cuban leader in his first program on the digital platform YouTube reiterated that his
01:01 government involves the Cuban people in every decision taken.
01:07 The decisions that are taken in Cuba are made considering the opinion of the population,
01:11 the analysis of the population.
01:13 The most complex processes in our country are submitted to popular debate.
01:16 Right now we are starting with the priorities that we have set for this year.
01:20 We are in four discussion processes that began with the party militancy and that are going
01:25 to include the population and the communities on the importance of strengthening unity based
01:29 on the statements and the call by the General of the Army in his speech for the 65th anniversary
01:35 of the triumph of the revolution in Santiago de Cuba, on the economic measures announced
01:40 by Prime Minister Marrero at the National Assembly of the People's Power, and which
01:44 have already begun to be applied with all the methodology we have proposed, with all
01:49 the philosophy, when the conditions are created, when the compensation measures are in place,
01:54 for those who may be most affected.
01:57 The Cuban president also stressed that behind the alleged demonstrations of March 17th there
02:03 is an orchestrated operation from the United States that seeks to destabilize order in
02:07 the nation.
02:08 We are not naive.
02:12 Here there was also an operation of unconventional warfare and they applied the same script they
02:16 always apply and the script was predetermined.
02:19 They focused on peaceful demonstrations.
02:22 After the peaceful demonstrations they began to talk about police repression, about political
02:26 prisoners.
02:29 After the political prisoners they began to say that there is ungovernability and that
02:35 it is a failed state.
02:37 And after that they began to talk about a change of government.
02:41 All a falsehood, a whole setup, a whole conspiracy that responds to the manuals of unconventional
02:48 warfare.
02:50 On the other hand, Tía Escanel assured that only a socialist system such as the one that
02:55 exists in Cuba has the commitment to solve the problems of the people.
03:02 The enemy wants to see us in confrontation.
03:05 The enemy is not interested in solving Cuba's problems.
03:07 If the enemy were to intervene in Cuba and take over Cuba, which they could never do
03:13 and we know why, and that's Maceo's phrase, they would not solve the problems of electricity
03:21 nor would they solve food problems because the logic of capital does not solve these
03:24 types of problems.
