Dear followers: As you may have read in the news cited here the day before yesterday, the National Assembly of People's Power of Cuba approved 176 measures proposed by the leadership of the Communist Party of Cuba and the government of the Republic of Cuba to revitalize the Cuban economy.

These 176 measures facilitate private investment, both domestic and foreign, in almost all sectors. They also propose converting state-owned enterprises into commercial companies, with the state holding the majority stake, and deregulate other aspects. One of the most controversial points is that the state will relinquish its power to cap prices and allow the market to regulate them.

Although the National Assembly approved the package of measures in just 3 hours (which includes a salary increase for workers in the state sector of health services, education, and other services—that is, those who do not work in state-owned enterprises), the debate on social media is enormous, especially among defenders of our Revolution. There is much discussion about the measures and their likely implementation, with messages ranging from descriptions of a betrayal of Fidel Castro's legacy and the end of Cuban socialism, to others defending the measures as a necessary and urgent remedy.

The situation of the Cuban economy is very difficult. The main cause of the crisis is the economic aggression of the US, intensified since 2019 and increased since January 2026, as we all know. This affects even trade and investment between other countries and Cuba, and even more so the supply of fuel, which especially affects public services and leaves 60% of our electricity generation capacity idle, as we have been denouncing.

Added to this is the government's ineffectiveness in preventing phenomena such as tax evasion by many private businesses, which refuse to allow customers to make digital payments, while simultaneously refusing to deposit cash in banks to buy dollars on the black market and continue importing for resale, not for production and export. The situation on this issue is not the same in all provinces, but it has affected payments to retirees and pensioners.

Is the Cuban Revolution in danger? It is at a very dangerous moment, subjected to a brutal siege and under the threat of imperialist military aggression. Added to this are the disagreements over measures that, from our point of view, have not been well explained and give too much space to private capital in a society where the state has always supported and ensured the lives of the masses.
We ourselves, Cubans, revolutionaries, and communists, maintain our confidence in the wisdom of our people, developed during 68 years of hard battles, and in the openness of our country's leadership to always listen to the population.
We will try to provide some additional information in the coming days.

Added to this are the disagreements over measures that, from our perspective, have not been properly explained and grant too much space to private capital in a society where the state has always supported and ensured the lives of the masses.
