Cuba: The President of the Councils of State and Ministers, Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez, said Thursday that the country overcomes the situation with the shortage of fuel, without applying extreme measures, which could harm the people, the Presidency website publishes.

In a tour of Sancti Spíritus, Villa Clara and Cienfuegos, as he did in the rest of the country, the president shared with the main leaders of the central provincial concepts and work styles that should prevail before the economic situation generated by the reprimand of the Government of the United States against the Revolution, worsened in recent times by pressure on shipping companies and insurance agencies.

In this regard, Díaz-Canel commented: "we are working with responsibility and commitment, sensitivity emerges, and it shows how much potential there is in saving and taking advantage of the creativity of our people."

The President referred in the three provinces to the importance of the political and ideological preparation of the leaders. If the perverse origin of the situation faced it is not understood, he said, it would be difficult to defend the measures, we would be acting as automatons. When a cadre is committed to the Revolution, he added, he knows that he has to work differently, take out the extra, give arguments, be sensitive and relate directly to people.

It goes beyond saving a few liters or tons of fuel, he said, we are defending sovereignty, independence, dignity. "We are disrupting the imperial plans, we are disrupting the imposition of that platform of neoliberal colony that they want to impose”, he said.

In similar situations in other countries, fuel prices, electricity rates, transport rates rise, but everything here works with solidarity. We do not close schools and that only happens in this country. That is why Cuba must be defended with efficiency in all processes, Diaz-Canel argued.

Díaz-Canel talked about not stopping, if possible, fundamental programs such as housing; not declare interrupted workers, but make labor changes; not allow price increases, hoarding and speculation; maintain an attitude of austerity and savings, because "saving is not stop doing, but do more with what we have," he said.
