Hundreds and thousands of Cubans have arrived in the US since 2022, power outages are becoming more frequent and the island does not generate enough from exports to pay for its imports, does anything remain of the "achievements of the Revolution" such as: health, education and social equality? On the LatinNews podcast this week, we speak to William LeoGrande, Professor of Government and a specialist in Latin American politics and the US Foreign Policy toward Latin America and ask: what next for Cuba and the regime? December 2024 is the 10th anniversary of Obama's decision to normalize relations with the nation, and now Cuba's Miguel Diaz Canel has declared that his country is now in a "wartime economy." Follow LatinNews for analysis on economic, political, and security developments in Latin America & the Caribbean.

The Cuban government has declared an energy emergency after a huge power cut led to the failure of supplies across the entire country. The blackout came after the Antonio Guiteras power plant in Matanzas - the largest on the island - went offline. The government had already suspended all non-essential public sector services in an effort to conserve supplies. President Miguel Diaz-Canel blamed the decades-long US embargo against his country for the problem.Meanwhile, in China, latest GDP figures show the slowest growth since early 2023. Rahul Tandon examines what's contributing the country's sluggish economy. The global food industry is growing rapidly - some estimates say it's now worth more than $10 trillion. But there are growing concerns about how healthy some of that food is. The UN has stepped in, detailing what they want global food producers to do about food labelling.Also, families of fentanyl victims in the US have asked their government to place tariffs on China - for what they say is its role in the opioid crisis. They have submitted a petition seeking trade countermeasures that include tariffs on a range of Chinese merchandise.Rahul is joined by Katia Dmitrieva, Bloomberg Asia Economics Correspondent, and Andy Uhler - Journalism Fellow at the University of Texas Energy Institute and Columbia University's Center on Global Energy Policy.

The Cuban government has declared an energy emergency after a massive power cut led to the failure of supplies across the entire country.

President Miguel Diaz-Canel blamed the decades-long US embargo against his country for the problem. Meanwhile, in China, what do latest GDP figures mean for the country's economy?

El régimen cubano ignora la petición de la Comisión Interamericana de Derechos Humanos, que solicitaba vías legales para excarcelar a los presos políticos de la Isla. El plazo de 90 días de este requerimiento expira ahora, y la situación de cientos de manifestantes condenados sigue preocupando a la comunidad internacional. Organizaciones como el Observatorio Cubano de Derechos Humanos denuncian la falta de compromiso del régimen con las instituciones internacionales. Insisten además, en que, al agotar el plazo para responder formalmente al documento de la Comisión Interamericana para excarcelar a los presos políticos de la Isla , el Gobierno de Miguel Diaz-Canel se ensaña con cientos de presos, aparentemente condenados injustamente. Las condiciones penitenciarias siguen siendo muy precarias, especialmente desde las masivas detenciones del 11 de julio de 2021. Berta Soler, líder del grupo disidente Damas de Blanco, insiste en “que  el régimen cubano realmente hace caso omiso a una institución prestigiosa que realmente mira más allá y está al corriente de lo que está pasando dentro de Cuba”. Denuncia que el domingo a ella, y a otras 14 mujeres, las detuvierron cuando se dirigían a una iglesia, porque pretendían “participar en las misas organizadas en diferentes provincias “para orar por nuestros seres queridos, para orar por la libertad de los presos políticos”. El Observatorio Cubano de Derechos Humanos también recuerda que el régimen cuenta con vías legales para la excarcelación inmediata de los presos, como el indulto, la libertad condicional, la amnistía o sanciones alternativas. Aunque no existe una cifra oficial y exacta, las organizaciones no gubernamentales estiman en más de 1.000 los presos políticos en la Isla. Cientos de ellos participaron en las masivas protestas de julio de 2021. Algunos recuperarán próximamente su libertad, pero por haber cumplido su pena de dos años. “La gran mayoría están presos todavía en condiciones inhumanas. Hay cinco ‘Damas de Blanco' presas. Hay enfermos en prisión y no les dan su tratamiento médico requerido. La alimentación es pésima, están prácticamente desnutridos. Los presos políticos y otros presos también que no son políticos”. advierte la disidente cubana Berta Soler. A la tensa situación política en ese país, este domingo se sumó una nueva jornada de intensas protestas en Santiago de Cuba, la capital,  así como en  otras localidades, por los cortes de electricidad y la escasez de alimentos.

The Biden Administration is pursuing a policy of “energy chasing,” where U.S. regulators put pressure on foreign-owned fuel supply companies, shippers and even financial insurers so that they back out of deals to bring “fuel to our ports.”On March 17, there were significant protests in eastern Cuba against the blackouts. The president says the authorities have gone to dialogue with them and explain the country's energy problems. “Two or three [protest] events that were fundamentally peaceful” in Cuba and the Western media creates a narrative of serious instability, says President Miguel Diaz-Canel. Meanwhile “in the world there are more severe protests” and in the U.S. there are protests violently repressed, but these get ignored. We are joined by Gloria La Riva, organizer with the Hatuey Project  to discuss the recent protests in Cuba and the ongoing crisis caused by the economic blockade. Then, with the possibility of a new invasion and occupation, we're hearing the same story emerge from Western media and politicians about Haiti: something really bad is happening in Haiti and an invasion is necessary. We are being told that this is the worst ever humanitarian situation in Haiti. As the U.S. Canadian and French governments gathered recently to discuss Haiti's political transition, Haitians get no say over this. When it comes to Haiti, it seems like everyone else gets to decide.We're joined by Kerbie Joseph, a Haitian organizer with the ANSWER Coalition, to talk about how Western colonialism and imperialism are the historical root of and current cause of the problems in Haiti, and what the resistance looks like.Support the show

En Cuba las fiestas de fin de año han sido opacadas por la grave crisis económica que azota el país. El Gobierno de Miguel Diaz Canel presento un paquete de medidas ante el Parlamento para dinamizar la economía y reformar las instituciones. El plan aún no ha sido revelado del todo, pero se multiplican las críticas, y sus detractores denuncian un paquete neoliberal. El presidente de Cuba Miguel Díaz-Canel admitió que el nuevo plan económico presentado ante la Asamblea Nacional del Poder Popular podía acrecentar determinadas problemáticas, pero descartó crear un paquete neoliberal contra las poblaciones más pobres. Aún los detalles quedan por descubrirse, pero para el economista Arturo López Levy de la universidad de Denver, en Estados Unidos, ese plan es necesario y debe basarse en el impulso del empresariado y así como en el freno la inflación."Lo que el Gobierno cubano se ha propuesto es controlar la espiral inflacionaria y procurar un plan de reactivación económica a través de ajustes importantes. Yo creo que llamar a ese ese conjunto de medidas de subida de impuestos, de reducción de gastos, "un paquete neoliberal" es simple y llanamente una exageración, porque son medidas que desde el punto de vista económico son racionales", explica el economista. Impacto en la clases populares"La preguntas a plantearse son dos -prosigue López Levy- ¿Es necesario un ajuste? Sin lugar a dudas, una situación hiperinflacionaria como la que ya está viviendo Cuba no es razonable ni saludable para ninguna economía. La segunda pregunta habría que hacerse es: ¿Ese ajuste tiene que ser pagado por los sectores más populares? Yo creo que sin lugar a duda los sectores más populares van a tener que pagar un costo, porque la lógica económica indica que tiene que haber una reducción del gasto público y también de incentivos al creciente y aciente sector empresarial son imprescindible para la reactivación económica". Se habla de alzas tarifarias en los servicios básicos como la electricidad y el gas. ¿Serán las poblaciones más desfavorecidas las más impactadas?Nuestro entrevistado inisite: "Que las clases populares van a sufrir, no me queda ninguna duda. Va a haber cortes importantes y aumentos de precio en áreas como el consumo de electricidad, el transporte, la alimentación… Ese paso de lo que ellos llaman 'subsidios a productos' a 'subsidios a las personas' va a traer un coste importante a sectores de lo que en Cuba se podría llamar, o en el resto del mundo, una clase media baja e incluso clase trabajadora". Leer tambiénCuba: ¿Qué desafíos esperan a Miguel Díaz-Canel para su segundo mandato?Unas de las causas de la crisis son la pandemia y el recrudecimiento de las sanciones de Washington. Sabiendo que el país tiene planificación centralizada y un predominio de la empresa estatal, ¿cuáles serían las medidas que aplicar de manera urgente?En la mayoría de los casos, están hablando de cuestiones que son mera racionalidad de economía básica."Cuba está viviendo en condiciones que pueden ser calificadas de hiperinflacionaria y eso es un problema real para la reforma, para el cálculo de los actores, para su visión estratégica, para la inversión... Para un mero plan de negocio, eso se convierte en un desaliento muy importante, así que creo que las medidas habría que preguntarse si van a ser suficiente, pero yo creo que la mayoría de los casos están hablando de cuestiones que son mera racionalidad de economía básica", conlcuye.

Presidents Trivia Alright! This episode is all about Presidents from the United States trivia. We are grateful to have Major Data on this episode. Can you answer questions like: While many presidents have had sons, most have been grown adults by the time they were elected making it fairly rare for a boy to live in the White House. Prior to Barron Trump, who was the last boy to live at the White House? William Howard Taft was the first president to throw out the ceremonial first pitch of the baseball season when he did so for the Washington Senators in 1910. To which MLB HOF 12x AL strikout leading pitcher did he throw this pitch to? Contrary to popular belief, George Washington's false teeth were not made out of wood but in fact were made out of other materials including teeth from slaves, brass, gold and ivory from which large African animal? George Washington posthumously was promoted to "General of the Armies of the United States", effectively a 6 star general, ranking him above all military officers for eternity. Which future US president promoted him to this rank? Twelve presidents have held the rank of general in the military and other held officer ranks, including James K Polk and Millard Filmore making the rank of Major. Who is the only president with military service to never become an officer and is the last president to serve in the War of 1812? Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump are the only presidents with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Trump is honored with his star for his role in producing what event from 1996 to 2015? Which president was the first to have a computer in the West Wing, overseeing the installation of a Hewlett Packard HP 3000, a Xerox Alto desktop computer, and a 8 x 10 x 3 feet water-cooled IBM laser printer? In 1852, Franklin Pierce and William King won President and Vice President respectively. Unfortunately, shortly after King contracted tuberculosis and traveled out of the US to try to regain his health, making him the only vice president to take the oath of office on foreign soil. Which carribean country whose current president is Miguel Diaz-Canel did he take the oath in? Which president was featured on the cover of Cosmopolitan in an illustration by artist Bradshaw Crandell featuring him in his Navy uniform planting a kiss on his then model girlfriend Phyllis Brown? Which president served as the 1st Governor of the Indiana Territory from 1801 to 1812, and in 1811 convinced the Secretary of War to allow him to assume command of 950 soldiers 13 years after his last military action in order to face off against the Shawnee, leading to his nickname?

A quanti si illudono che il comunismo abbia cambiato volto, la risposta viene da Cuba, dove due artisti, Otero Alcántara e Castillo Pérez (in arte Osorbo), leader del Movimento di Sant'Isidro, sono stati condannati rispettivamente a 5 e 9 anni di carcere, per aver cantato e pubblicato diversi brani, divenuti inni veri e propri contro il regime castrista instaurato da Miguel Diaz-Canel.La Procura generale di Cuba ha accusato Alcántara di «insulto ai simboli della Patria, oltraggio e disordine pubblico», ad Osorbo sono stati contestati gli stessi reati oltre a «diffamazione di istituzioni ed organizzazioni». L'obiettivo reale è quello di ridurre i due al silenzio, riuscendo i loro brani a catalizzare il consenso popolare ed a smuovere le coscienze contro la repressione e la violenza attuate dalla dittatura comunista al potere, per spegnere qualsiasi forma di opposizione.

Welcome to Gorilla Radio, recorded May 28th, 2022 In early May, Cuban president, Miguel Diaz-Canel returned the diplomatic favour, hosting his Mexican counterpart, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador in Havana. The two signed various agreements tying the two nations closer, while AMLO used the opportunity to further criticize historical US foreign policy in the hemisphere, reminisce about Mexican support for Castro and the Cuban revolution, and to call for the lifting of the decades-long blockade against Mexico's "sister nation." None of this likely pleases the United States, but worse still for the Biden administration is Obrador's hardly veiled threat to boycott next week's Summit of the Americas confab in Los Angeles. Tim Boultbee is a long-time activist for Latin American human and democratic rights. From Ronald Reagan's Dirty Wars against the people of Nicaragua and El Salvador to the financial annexation of Mexico by means of the NAFTA agreement he has borne witness as an international observer at the front lines of the fight for justice. Tim is currently a member of CASC, the Victoria Central America Support Committee, assisted the Building Bridges Human Rights Project in Chiapas, and worked to raise funds for the Fray Bartolome Human Rights Center in San Cristobal. Tim Boultbee in the first half. And; just as Canada has supported US belligerence in Latin America, (earning for the trouble exclusion from CELAC, the organization likely to determine the cultural, political, and economic future of the hemisphere) the current administration too has gone along with its larger neighbour's campaign to isolate China. The lengths Trudeau's government is willing to go to please Uncle Sam was made painfully obvious in its two-plus years contralegal persecution of Huawei executive, Meng Wanzhou. Now, it has announced the exclusion of Huawei from this country's 5G communications network development. Ken Stone is a long-time antiwar activist whose served as an executive member of both the Syria Solidarity Movement and Hamilton Coalition to Stop the War. Ken and the Coalition fought tooth and nail against the incarceration of Meng Wanzhou and extradition efforts by the United States, and they've opposed the odious AUKUS military pact threatening war with China in the Pacific. The danger AUKUS presents to World peace ramped up last fall with the deal to provide nuclear powered submarines to Australia, and more lately with the announced rapid development of hypersonic missile technology and expanded electronic warfare aimed at the People's Republic. Ken Stone on Huawei in Canada, and AUKUS going over the top in the Pacific in the second half.

Cuba sees biggest protests in decades Chanting “Freedom!” and calling for President Miguel Diaz-Canel to step down, thousands of Cubans joined street protests from Havana to Santiago on July 11 in the biggest anti-government demonstrations on the Communist-run island in decades. The protests erupted amid Cuba's worst economic crisis since the fall of the Soviet Union, its old ally, and a record surge in coronavirus infections, with people voicing anger over shortages of basic goods, curbs on civil liberties and the authorities' handling of the pandemic.

Một chục ngày sau cuộc xuống đường của người dân Cuba đòi « Tự do », « Chấm dứt chế độ độc tài », tình hình tạm thời lắng dịu trở lại. Hiện trạng này liệu sẽ kéo dài bao lâu khi mà Cuba đang đứng trước một cuộc khủng hoảng kép : kinh tế và y tế ? Đổ lỗi cho chính sách cấm vận của Washington trong gần 60 năm qua làm kinh tế Cuba kiệt quệ có còn hiệu quả khi dân tình đói kém ?   Cách nay một năm rưỡi, không một chuyên gia về châu Mỹ La Tinh nào dám nghĩ đến kịch bản hàng ngàn người dân Cuba xuống đường ở thủ đô La Habana và nhiều thành phố lớn khác trên toàn quốc với những khẩu hiệu đòi giới lãnh đạo phải « ra đi ». Đa số người biểu tình là giới trẻ, giáo sư Janice Argaillot giảng dậy tại đại học Grenoble-Alpes đánh giá : Thông điệp ở đây là người dân đã mệt mỏi khi phải cống hiến cho Cách Mạng mà trong chiều ngược lại thì Cách Mạng không làm gì cho dân chúng. Trên đài RFI Pháp ngữ, nhà chính trị học Janette Habel, Viện nghiên cứu thuộc trường cao đẳng châu Mỹ La Tinh giải thích rõ hơn về phẫn nộ của người dân Cuba xuất phát từ tình trạng kinh tế tồi tệ trong nước : « Bối cảnh thật là khủng khiếp và nhẽ ra làn sóng phẫn nộ này đã phải bùng lên từ sớm hơn bởi vì toàn cảnh tại Cuba thật thê thảm. Cuba thiếu đủ mọi thứ từ lương thực đến thuốc men. Là một quốc gia có dầu hỏa nhưng Cuba lại liên tục trong tình trạng bị mất điện. Tại một xứ nóng, người ta cần có máy điều hòa, cần có tủ lạnh để bảo quản thức ăn, những đợt cúp điện kéo dài quả là tai hại. Cuba lâm vào một cuộc khủng hoảng do thiếu những mặt hàng thiết yếu nhất trong đời sống. Cần nói thêm đợt xuống đường hôm Chủ Nhật 11/07/2021 quy tụ rất nhiều thành phần trong xã hội : những người chống đối chế độ cũng có, những người không chống đối chế độ cũng có hay đơn giản là những người không còn chấp nhận đời sống quá cơ cực và sau cùng có cả một số thành phần ủng hộ Mỹ ». GDP giảm 11 % : Mức tệ hại nhất trong gần 30 năm qua Cuba phải nhập khẩu đến 70 % lương thực, thực phẩm để bảo đảm nhu cầu trong nước. Vấn đề đặt ra là công quỹ cạn kiệt. Du lịch và công nghiệp sản xuất đường mía là hai nguồn đem về thu nhập chính cho La Habana. Du lịch hoàn toàn sụp đổ vì đại dịch Covid-19 : trong năm 2020 du lịch Cuba chỉ « sống được » có trong ba tháng đầu năm.  Còn về ngành sản xuất đường thì Cuba đã bị mất mùa, sản xuất chỉ bằng 66 % so với một năm bình thường.   Tháng 12/2020 bộ trưởng Kinh Tế Cuba Alejandro Gil thông báo trong cả năm GDP giảm 11 %. Đây là mức tệ hại thứ nhì sau cơn ác mộng năm 1993 khi tổng sản phẩm nội địa giảm gần 15 % do Cuba mất điểm tựa là Liên Xô. Giải thích cho sự kém cỏi của nền kinh tế Cuba năm ngoái, Alejandro Gil nhìn nhận tình hình thêm đen tối do đại dịch Covid-19 đồng thời những khó khăn của La Habana xuất phát từ 2019 dưới tác động của các biện pháp trừng phạt chính quyền Donald Trump ban hành. Về điểm này chuyên gia về châu Mỹ La Tinh, Janette Habel tiếc là tổng thống Mỹ Joe Biden không xem Cuba là một ưu tiên : « Ở Mỹ một số đại diện cho những người Cuba nhập cư hiện diện ở Thượng Viện và Hạ Viện và số này từ lâu nay muốn lật đổ chế độ cộng sản ở La Habana. Họ chủ trương áp đặt các biện pháp trừng phạt để bóp ngạt kinh tế Cuba. Trong khi đó hòn đảo này chủ yếu sống nhờ du lịch. Từ gần hai năm nay, dịch Covid-19 khiến hoạt động này rơi xuống gần như là số không. Trước đó nữa chính quyền Trump đã gia tăng các biện pháp cấm vận Cuba. Trái với thời tổng thống Barack Obama, chính quyền Biden đến nay vẫn giữ nguyên 243 biện pháp trừng phạt La Habana của người tiền nhiệm ». Cuba nhanh chóng đổ tội cho Mỹ Phát biểu trên đài truyền hình về cuộc xuống đường rầm rộ của người dân Cuba, chủ tịch Miguel Diaz Canel một mặt nhìn nhận « kinh tế đất nước khó khăn » nhưng mặt khác đã vội vàng quy trách nhiệm cho các biện pháp cấm vận La Habana Mỹ liên tục áp dụng từ năm 1962. Không thấy lãnh đạo nước này nói đến những bất cập của mô hình kinh tế Cuba mà ở đó 85 % mọi sinh hoạt đều trong tay Nhà nước. Giới quan sát nêu bật hai trường hợp đặc biệt: Một là tình trạng đói kém tại Cuba hiện nay bắt nguồn từ chính sách thu mua nông phẩm gần như độc quyền của Nhà nước và hai là biện pháp cải cách chế độ tiền tệ. Hậu quả kèm theo là giá bánh mì trong 6 tháng qua đã đăt lên gấp 20 lần so với trước. Hóa đơn tiền điện của các hộ gia đình cũng đã được nhân lên gấp 4 lần. Nhà nước ấn định lạm phát không được vượt quá ngưỡng 300 %. Vào lúc chủ tịch Cuba trực tiếp lên án « một nhóm người, phe chống đối cách mạng, những tên tay sai của Mỹ đã gián tiếp tổ chức cuộc xuống đường » vừa qua, chuyên gia Janette Habel, Viện nghiên cứu trường cao đẳng châu Mỹ La Tinh cho rằng chính quyền Cuba đã chọn giải pháp « dễ dãi », phủi tay về trách nhiệm của chính mình :  « Cuba là một hòn đảo nhỏ với 11 triệu dân, với những nguồn thu nhập hạn hẹp. Chủ yếu dùng năng lượng từ các lò nhiệt điện, tức là phải có đủ dầu do Venezuela viện trợ. Nhưng từ khi Venezuela rơi vào khủng hoảng chính trị thì nguồn cung cấp đó bị cắt đứt. Thêm vào đó là chính sách trừng phạt của Mỹ. Dù vậy điểm chính ở đây là người dân Cuba bất mãn vì đời sống đắt đỏ, họ bất mãn vì kinh tế kiệt quệ. Không thể cho rằng Washington giật dây, xúi dục dân Cuba xuống đường ». Đành rằng Washington đã ban hành lệnh cấm vận Cuba từ năm 1962 để trả đũa chính quyền Fidel Castro chiếm đoạt các doanh nghiệp của Mỹ tại Cuba, hay trừng phạt La Habana thắt chặt quan hệ với Matxcơva… Từ đó tới nay, Washington có lúc đã nới lỏng gọng kềm, nhưng chưa bao giờ dỡ bỏ các biện pháp « phong tỏa » Cuba, ngay cả trong giai đoạn « tan băng » dưới thời tổng thống Barack Obama. Quan hệ giữa La Habana với Washington đã xấu đi thêm dưới thời tổng thống Trump qua quyết định đưa Cuba vào danh sách các quốc gia yểm trợ khủng bố. Dù vậy, giáo sư Janice Argaillot đại học Grenoble- Alpes cho rằng khai thác tinh thần bài Mỹ của người dân Cuba với hy vọng xoa dịu công luận trong nước là một « sai lầm chiến lược » do thế hệ lãnh đạo hiện nay không có trọng lượng như những người từng trực tiếp tham gia vào cuộc Cách Mạng. Đó cũng là quan điểm của nhà chính trị học Janette Habel và bà Habel giải thích thêm vì sao lá bài « chống Mỹ » La Habana luôn sử dụng từ hàng chục năm qua « hết thiêng » : « Một mặt đúng là có một sự thay đổi về thế hệ lãnh đạo tại Cuba. Thế hệ đã làm nên cuộc Cách Mạng và có đủ tính chính đáng để điều hành đất nước thì ngay cả những người cuối cùng cũng đang lùi vào hậu trường vì tuổi tác. Thế hệ mới được đào tạo trong lò cộng sản Cuba thì không có đủ tính chính đáng, không có đủ uy thế và kinh nghiệm của những người đi trước. Thế hệ lãnh đạo mới đó cũng không có sức thu hút dân chúng như trước nữa. Thành thử họ đang bị mất hướng. Mặt khác, chính quyền hiện tại đang kiến tạo chính sách mới về mặt kinh tế nhưng bước chuyển đổi đó đẩy người dân vào cảnh khó khăn hơn, gây nên một sự bất bình đẳng lớn hơn. Chỉ cần nhìn vào chính sách tiền tệ của Cuba cũng đủ để minh họa cho tình thế bối rối của chính quyền La Habana. Thêm vào đó giờ đây dân Cuba có phương tiện để kết nối với thế giới bên ngoài. Dân chúng được tiếp cận với rất nhiều các nguồn thông tin khác nhau. Thậm chí có nhiều xu hướng chính trị đang được hình thành, và đó là điều làm thay đổi hoàn toàn cục diện chính trị, xã hội, kinh tế tại Cuba ». Nga, Trung Quốc : những điểm tựa của Cuba Trong bài diễn văn cuối cùng ở cương vị lãnh đạo đảng Cộng Sản Cuba, tháng 4/2021 ông Raul Castro nêu bật hai vấn đề được coi là cần « giải quyết cấp bách » đó là mục tiêu « bảo đảm lương thực thực phẩm cho toàn dân Cuba » và ngăn chận những khía cạnh tiêu cực từ « các mạng xã hội ». Một chục ngày sau cuộc biểu bình hôm 11/07/20201 truyền thông quốc tế ghi nhận « tình hình lắng dịu », « Cuba tái lập trật tự » nhờ chặn mạng internet (do tập đoàn Hoa Vi của Trung Quốc cung cấp), nhờ « tịch thu điện thoại di động của những người biểu tình » và qua đó công an Cuba đã « nhận diện được nhiều người đã xuống đường hôm Chủ Nhật tuần trước » như ghi nhận của báo Le Figaro. Ngoài ra La Habana đã được nhiều nước bạn yểm trợ : từ Trung Quốc đến Iran từ Venezuela, Nga đến Bắc Triều Tiên. Một mặt trong mùa dịch Covid-19, Cuba gần như là điểm nghỉ mát dành riêng cho các du khách Nga. Mặt khác, phát ngôn viên bộ Ngoại Giao Nga Maria Zakharova đã cảnh báo Hoa Kỳ tránh can thiệp vào Cuba và nếu thực sự muốn giúp đỡ La Habana thì theo Matxcơva, giải pháp tốt nhất là Washington nên dỡ bỏ lệnh cấm vận. Trung Quốc, nhà đầu tư nước ngoài lớn nhất tại Cuba, cũng đưa ra quan điểm tương tự khi cho rằng « chính các biện pháp trừng phạt của Mỹ đã đẩy Cuba vào cảnh thiếu thuốc men và năng lượng ». Vào lúc mà chính quyền Biden tảng lờ kêu gọi của Cuba cải thiện quan hệ song phương, thì Trung Quốc xem Cuba là cánh cổng để tiến vào vùng biển Caribê và Trung Mỹ. Ngay sát cạnh cửa ngõ của Hoa Kỳ, từ năm 2017 Trung Quốc đứng đầu trong số các nhà đầu tư tại Cuba kể cả trong lĩnh vực hợp tác quân sự. Theo tiết lộ của báo Le Figaro ngày 19/07/2021, cách bang Florida của Hoa Kỳ chưa đầy 150 cây số, Cuba đã mở cửa cho Trung Quốc đặt radar theo dõi tại căn cứ quân sự Bejucal gần thủ đô La Habana.

Since 2007, President Raul Castro, noting its connection with national security, has made food security a priority. State farms hold over 70% of Cuba’s agricultural land; about 6.7m hectares. In 2007, 45% of this land was sitting idle. In 2008 Castro allowed private farmers and co-operatives to lease unused land with decentralised decision-making, and loosened regulations on farmers selling directly to consumers. Since 2010, Cubans with small garden plots, and small farmers, have been allowed to sell produce directly to consumers. However, agriculture in Cuba remains in crisis. A government report issued in July 2013 showed that productivity had not increased…LINK: Marianne Ward and John Devereux (2010): The Road Not Taken: Pre-Revolutionary Cuban Living Standards in Comparative Perspective: ‘All indications are that Cuba was once a prosperous middle-income economy. On the eve of the revolution, we find that incomes were fifty to sixty percent of European levels. They were among the highest in Latin America at about thirty percent of the US. In relative terms, however, Cuba was richer earlier on. The crude income comparisons that are possible suggest that income per capita during the 1920’s was in striking distance of Western Europe and the Southern States of the US. After the revolution, Cuba has slipped down the world income distribution. As best we can tell, current levels of income per capita are below their pre-revolutionary peaks…LINK: Carlos Eire: Raúl Castro Leaving Power Won’t Bring Change to Cuba Anytime Soon: ‘Raúl Castro is relinquishing all power on the eve of his 90th birthday. It would be a mistake to think that this piece of kabuki theater will bring change to Cuba any time soon…. The Communist Party in Cuba, which has had total control of the island for over 60 years, is not about to relax its grip. And since this party is controlled by the Revolutionary Armed Forces, Cuba is really governed by an old-fashioned Latin American military junta. It is an unusual junta, full of former rebels, but it is a junta…. Raúl Castro is stepping down from the throne, so to speak, but he will keep casting a long shadow as long as he can. Moreover, plenty of generals and colonels remain, ranging in age from their 50s to 80s. A top member of that exclusive circle is Raúl’s son, Col. Alejandro Castro Espín, who is only 55 and runs the country’s dreaded secret police. Official posts outside of the armed forces have a cosmetic sheen to them. The prime example is President Miguel Díaz-Canel…. Raw power resides in men such as Alejandro Castro Espín and 60-year-old Gen. Luis Alberto Rodríguez López-Callejas, ex-husband of Raul’s daughter Deborah. A member of the Castro dynasty by marriage, he is one of the most powerful men in Cuba, totally in charge of the branch of the Revolutionary Armed Forces that runs most of Cuba’s tourist industry. Since tourism is the country’s main source of income, his clout is considerable. The two brothers-in-law are purported to be engaged in a fierce struggle behind the scenes for the throne vacated by Raúl…..A new constitution in 2019…. Many articles outlaw dissent, such as No. 4: “The socialist system that this Constitution supports is irrevocable. Citizens have the right to combat through any means, including armed combat… against any that intends to topple the political, social, and economic order established by this Constitution.”… Article 229 seeks to drive a nail in the coffin of hope: “In no case will the pronouncements be reformed regarding the irrevocability of the socialism system established in Article 4.”…What will happen next? Is it possible that among the younger Cuban communists a Gorbachev lurks?… Is it possible that the junta could be overthrown, somehow, in traditional Latin fashion? Theoretically, one must suppose, anything is possible…. Theoretical possibilities fall into the realm of faith rather than reason…LINK: Carmelo Mesa-Lago (2019): There’s Only One Way Out for Cuba’s Dismal Economy: ‘The island’s economy is neither efficient nor competitive. To move forward it must deepen and accelerate reforms. The market socialism model could provide a way….. For the past 60 years, Cuba has been unable to finance its imports with its own exports and generate appropriate, sustainable growth without substantial aid and subsidies from a foreign nation. This is the longstanding legacy of Cuba’s socialist economy…. Between 1960 and 1990, the Soviet Union gave Cuba $65 billion (triple the total amount of aid that President John Kennedy’s Alliance for Progress gave Latin America). At its peak in 2012, Venezuelan aid, subsidies and investment amounted to $14 billion, or close to 12 percent of the gross domestic product. And yet, despite the staggering foreign aid subsidies it has received, the economy’s performance has been dismal…. Industrial, mining and sugar production are well below 1989 levels, and the production of 11 out of 13 key agricultural and fishing products has declined. Cuba is now facing its worst economic crisis since the 1990s.Tourism has been a bright spot for Cuba. From 2007 to 2017, visitors to the island doubled, largely thanks to the arrival of more Americans, whose numbers grew considerably after President Barack Obama eased diplomatic relations in 2015. But Hurricane Irma and the tightening of travel restrictions by President Trump (like barring American tourists from using hotels and restaurants run by Cuba’s military) and the alert declared by the administration after the sonic attacks on United States diplomats in Havana led to a drop in tourism during the end of 2017 and the first half of 2018. Tourism rebounded in September, driven by a cruise industry that offers customers lodging, meals and tours. Those visitors spend about 14 percent of what those arriving by air spend….Cuba’s woes are a result of the inefficient economic model of centralized planning, state enterprises and agricultural collectivization its leaders have pursued despite the failure of these models worldwide. In his decade in power, President Raúl Castro tried to face his brother Fidel’s legacy of economic disaster head on by enacting a series of market-oriented economic structural reforms. He also opened the door to foreign investment, but so far, the amount materialized has been one-fifth of the goal set by the leadership for sustainable development…. The pace of reforms has been slow and subject to many restrictions, disincentives and taxes that have impeded the advance of the private economy and desperately needed growth. It is time to abandon this failed model and shift to a more successful one as in China and Vietnam….Poor agricultural production, the result of collectivized agriculture, causes the island to spend $1.5 billion a year on food imports. As part of his agrarian reform, Mr. Castro began leasing fallow state-owned land to farmers through 10-year contracts—now increased to 20 years—that may be canceled or renewed depending on the farms performance. Farmers must sell most of their crops to the government at prices set by the state, which are below market prices…. If reform is carried out and foreign investors are allowed to hire and pay a full salary directly to their employees, there will be a significant improvement in the economy and the government can undertake the desperately needed monetary unification that will attract more investment and eliminate the economic distortions that plague the economy.LINK: Cuba Employment Shares: Agriculture 25%, Industry 10%, Services 65%(Remember: You can subscribe to this… weblog-like newsletter… here: There’s a free email list.

Aujourd'hui l'économie - Cuba: une colère qui puise sa sève dans le marasme économique

Aujourd'hui l'économie

À Cuba, la colère s'exprime dans la rue depuis dimanche, malgré la répression. L'île et le régime cubain n'avaient pas connu de manifestations d'une telle ampleur depuis 1994. À l'époque déjà, une crise économique violente avait rendu le quotidien des Cubains impossible. Aujourd'hui, des problèmes similaires sont dénoncés par les habitants de l'île : pénuries, inflation, avec en plus, une crise sanitaire extrêmement sévère qui frappe Cuba au cœur. Les nouveaux chiffres ont été révélés lundi 12 juillet, alors que le président Miguel Diaz-Canel tentait à travers un discours télévisé de faire vibrer la corde révolutionnaire pour délégitimer les manifestations : 6 423 nouveaux cas de Covid-19 déclarés. Cela fait de Cubal'un des pays comptant le plus de nouvelles infections relativement à sa population. Jusqu'ici, l'île avait échappé aux premières vagues subies ailleurs dans le monde. À partir de ce jeudi, le gouvernement va donc renforcer les mesures de restriction. En plus de limiter les déplacements entre provinces, il s'apprête à imposer un isolement de deux semaines aux voyageurs arrivant aux aéroports de Varadero et Cayo Coco, proches de deux hauts-lieux du tourisme de l'île. Le secteur du tourisme, autre victime de la pandémie La province touristique de Matanzas est la plus touchée et le gouvernement a dû envoyer des renforts humains pour soutenir des hôpitaux débordés. En réponse au mécontentement populaire, certains hôtels seront réquisitionnés pour abriter des cas dans des conditions plus dignes qu'auparavant. La mesure est facilitée par le fait que ces hôtels sont en réalité vides. Durant le premier semestre de 2021, le nombre des touristes a chuté de 94%. Or, le tourisme représente à lui seul un quart du PIB de l'île, qui s'est effondré de 11% l'an dernier. C'est évidemment un apport vital en devises qui s'est tari. Une catastrophe pour cette île qui importe notamment 70% de ses besoins alimentaires. Le quotidien des Cubains se résume aux pénuries Les pénuries de courant sont récurrentes, en particulier depuis que le voisin vénézuélien n'est plus en mesure de fournir du pétrole à prix subventionné. En outre, l'île subit des pénuries de médicaments, ce qui est d'autant moins supporté que Cuba exporte ses médecins et s'est mis à la production d'un vaccin contre le Covid-19 local et non reconnu par l'OMS. Dimanche, des manifestants ont pris pour cible les boutiques qui n'acceptent que les devises étrangères. Une nouveauté mise en place l'an dernier pour capter les précieux dollars et euros. Et le mois dernier, le régime a décidé d'interdire les dépôts en liquide en dollars dans les banques, pour favoriser les alternatives au billet vert. C'est aussi à ses choix de politique interne que les manifestants cubains attribuent leur misère tout en bravant la menace de la répression. L'embargo américain sur l'île fustigé par le gouvernement Cuba subit toujours le plus vieux blocus au monde, en vigueur depuis 1962. Après la parenthèse Obama, il a été renforcé par Donald Trump avec des restrictions d'envois de dollars et l'inscription de Cuba sur la liste noire des États soutenant le terrorisme. Cela a entraîné la chute des transferts de fonds provenant des États-Unis, la deuxième source de revenus de l'île, qui faisait vivre de nombreuses familles sur place. Pendant sa campagne électorale, le président Joe Biden avait évoqué l'idée de lever ces restrictions. Mais depuis, rien n'a été décidé sur la question. La répression des manifestations et les accusations d'ingérence ne vont pas faciliter le dialogue. Joe Biden a qualifié de « régime autoritaire » le gouvernement cubain. Cette prise de parole peut s'interpréter comme un moyen de sécuriser le vote des Cubano-Américain au Congrès – historiquement critiques virulents du régime castriste – dans un moment où le président souhaite faire passer des réformes importantes. À écouteur sur le même sujet : Manifestations à Cuba: le calme et l'omerta sont de retour à La Havane En bref Pendant ce temps, la pression est un peu levée sur le voisin vénézuélien. Washington a assoupli lundi l'interdiction instaurée sous l'administration Trump d'exporter des hydrocarbures vers le pays. Les exportations de gaz de pétrole liquéfié (GPL), utilisé notamment pour faire la cuisine seront autorisées pour les douze mois qui viennent. L'administration américaine fait ainsi le constat que cet outil de pression n'a pas atteint ses objectifs politiques : évincer le président Nicolas Maduro qui est toujours en place.

Cuba turned the page on the Castro era on April 19 with the ruling Communist Party electing President Miguel Diaz-Canel to replace Raul Castro as party chief, although Diaz-Canel said he would continue to consult his predecessor on strategic decisions. The succession marks the end of six decades of rule by brothers Fidel and Raul Castro, who led a 1959 revolution in the Caribbean island nation of 11 million, installing a Communist-run country on the doorstep of the United States. The mantle now passes to a younger generation that worked its way up the party ranks rather than forging itself through guerrilla warfare. Diaz-Canel, 60, who was party chief in two provinces before joining the national government in 2009, had already succeeded Castro, 89, as president in 2018, and been widely tipped to also take the role of first party secretary — the most powerful position in the country. His election came as part of a broader reshuffle of the party's political bureau at a four-day congress held largely behind closed doors.

Caleb Maupin, journalist and political analyst, joins us to talk about this week's important stories. The US is playing dangerous games that flirt with nuclear disaster and the American people are woefully unaware of the danger. Also, President Biden needs to abandon the Cold War confrontation with China in order to adequately address the issue of climate change.Dr. Jack Rasmus, professor in the Economics and Politics Departments at St. Mary's College of California, joins us to discuss several important issues related to the economy. Jobless claims have hit an all-time low for the pandemic. Is the bump in jobs a temporary benefit of the stimulus package, or is the economy waking up from its year-long slumber? Also, officials from several powerful nations are meeting to discuss climate change and the final day will focus on innovation. Dr. Jehan "Gigi" El-Bayoumi, professor of medicine and founding director of the George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences' Rodman Institute, and Dr. Yolandra Hancock, a board-certified pediatrician and obesity medicine specialist, join us to discuss the latest coronavirus news. A US panel will be meeting today to discuss the future of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, as blood clot issues continue to raise concern. Also, many healthcare workers are considering leaving the profession due to overwork and burnout from the COVID-19 pandemic.Ajamu Baraka, former VP candidate for the Green Party, and Netfa Freeman, host of Voices With Vision on WPFW 89.3 FM, pan-Africanist and internationalist organizer, join us to discuss issues in the Global South. Raul Castro has retired from his position as Cuban leader and is being replaced by long-time ally Miguel Diaz-Canel. Also, Haiti fights back against colonialism, and Juan Guaido steals over 150 million dollars from Venezuela's funds.Ray Baker, political analyst and host of the podcast Public Agenda, and Jim Kavanagh, a writer at The Polemicist and CounterPunch and author of "The American Farce Unravels: Shreds of January 6th," join us to discuss critical stories for the week. Civil liberties activists are extremely alarmed as multiple reports have come out exposing that the United States Postal Service is involved in a covert operation that monitors social media posts. Also, Vice President Kamala Harris is moving forward with a questionable strategy for addressing the migrant crisis, and America refuses to spend the nominal amount necessary to end homelessness.

C'est une journée historique aujourd'hui pour Cuba. Ce n'est plus un Castro qui est secrétaire du Parti communiste cubain, et c'est la première fois depuis sa création. Après avoir succédé à son frère Fidel, Raul Castro a décidé de prendre sa retraite à près de 90 ans. Il cède les commandes du parti à Miguel Diaz-Canel, qui était déjà président de Cuba. Changement de génération donc, changement symbolique. D'ici à parler d'un changement politique, il y a un pas qu'il serait imprudent de franchir hâtivement. Car les difficultés économiques sont toujours là. De même que les reproches sur les droits politiques et humains. Où va la révolution cubaine ? C'est la question du jour. Pour en débattre : Janette Habel, chercheuse à l’Institut des Hautes Études de l’Amérique latine François Michel Lambert, député liberté Écologie Fraternité (LEF), président du groupe France Cuba à l'Assemblée Nationale Michel Faure, journaliste et écrivain, spécialiste de l'Amérique latine, auteur de «Cuba en 100 questions», aux éditions Tallandier.

We're featuring a series this month called “2019: A Look Ahead” and continue with a look at the future of Latin America. In the last 12 months leadership has changed in Latin American countries including Brazil, Cuba and Mexico. Brazil elected a far right president, Jair Bolsonaro, while Mexico has its first leftist president in seven decades, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador. And for the first time in over 50 years, the leader of Cuba is not a Castro, it's Miguel Diaz Canel. In the meantime Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro was sworn in last week for his second term, even though his reelection is being called illegitimate and the country is in economic turmoil. Host Dan Loney examines many of these issues with William Burke White, Director of The Perry World House and Law Professor at the University of Pennsylvania, and Benjamin GEDAN, Senior Advisor to the Latin American Program at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, Adjunct Professor at Johns Hopkins University and a former South America Director of the National Security Council at The White House.

Welcome to the radio magazine that brings you news, commentary and analysis from a Black Left perspective. I’m Glen Ford, along with my co-host Nellie Bailey. Coming up: A professor of theology says Black folks would do well to return to a time when leadership followed a higher law; Dr. Anthony Monteiro says the U.S. empire is in crisis, largely because Russia and China refuse to buckle under to Washington; and, the President of Cuba will meet this week with community members in New York City. The author of a new book says sports can never be separated from the racial history of the United States. David Leonard is a professor at Washington State University. His book is titled “Playing While White: Privilege and Power On and Off the Field.” Leonard says, even whites that are involved in mass shootings are treated as redeemable, but Black people who have never been charged with a crime are still marked as dangerous to society. Another author whose work has recently been the focus of the Black Agenda Book Forum, is Vincent Lloyd, an associate professor of Theology at Villanova University. Professor Lloyd believes that the finest hours of Black political organizing occurred when leaders appealed to a higher law of justice. Dr. Anthony Monteiro is a Duboisian scholar in Philadelphia, where he works with the Saturday Free School. Monteiro says the world has changed in ways that auger badly for U.S. imperialism. he president of Cuba, Miguel Diaz-Canel, will be among the many global heads of state that will be in New York City this week for the opening of this year’s session of the United Nations General Assembly. On Wednesday, President Diaz-Canel will speak with community members at New York’s historic Riverside Church.

Italia, la finanza mondiale pronta a concretizzare le sue minacceMentre, in Italia, la situazione politica resta fluida, mercoledi', l'agenzia di rating statunitense Moody's ha messo sotto osservazione 12 banche italiane in vista di un possibile declassamento del rating sovrano. Nella decisione sono coinvolte UniCredit, Intesa Sanpaolo, Banca Imi, Cdp, Mediobanca, Bnl, Fca Bank, Credito Emiliano, Credit Agricole-Cariparma, Cassa Centrale Raiffeisen, Invitalia e, infine, la Banca del Mezzogiorno. A stretto giro, Moody's ha preso in considerazione la possibilità di ridurre i rating a lungo termine delle società di servizi ai consumatori Cdp Reti, Compagnia valdostana delle acque, Hera, Italgas, Snam e Terna. Sotto esame anche i colossi Eni, Poste Italiane e Rai. Ma in alcuni Paesi, per esempio in Cina e in Russia, la grande troika americana delle agenzie di rating - Standard and Poor's, Moody's e Fitch - da tempo viene chiamata con il suo nome, ovvero uno strumento dell'elite finanziaria degli Stati Uniti nella lotta contro i suoi concorrenti. Completamente priva di trasparenza e di obiettività, se non quella dei suoi interessi economici, nel 2017 Moody's aveva tagliato il rating della Cina, la cui economia è in costante crescita da quasi trent'anni.

Non e' una novita' il coinvolgimento della troika nella crisi finanziaria di dieci anni fa: la banca Lehman Brothers aveva continuato a mantenere il rating “A” fino al 15 settembre del 2008, il giorno del suo fallimento.

Va in scena a Kiev la parodia del caso SkripalIl giornalista russo Arkadij Babchenko, trasferitosi in Ucraina nel 2017 e "freddato" dai servizi speciali russi martedi', e' risuscitato. Si e' trattato, infatti, di una messinscena organizzata dal Servizio di sicurezza ucraino con l'obiettivo, dicono, di impedire un vero omicidio e di identificarne i mandanti. Che secondo Vasilij Hrytsak, a capo dei servizi segreti ucraini, si troverebbero, guarda caso, al Cremlino. 30 mila dollari, affermano a Kiev, la cifra promessa al finto sicario dal presunto intermediario di Mosca - il "signor G.", imprenditore ucraino che fornisce le armi per l'operazione dell'esercito di Kiev nel Donbass. Attraverso il suo avvocato, il "signor G." ha gia' fatto sapere che l'ordine di omicidio non e' affatto partito da Mosca, ma dal dipartimento di controspionaggio del Servizio di sicurezza ucraino. Forse, aggiungiamo noi, su richiesta di un concorrente commerciale. Nel frattempo, il procuratore generale dell'Ucraina, Jurij Lutsenko, ha accolto con entusiasmo la reazione della comunita' internazionale alla notizia dell'omicidio: "ancora all'oscuro del materiale delle indagini, il mondo intero ha immediatamente accusato la Russia". Niente di nuovo sul fronte occidentale, quindi. Gli italiani sono stati prontamente informati dai mass media dei rapporti ostili tra Arkadij Babchenko e il Cremlino. Mentre il capo della diplomazia britannica, Boris Johnson, si e' detto "scioccato dall'omicidio di un altro giornalista russo che esprimeva apertamente le sue opinioni". Non tutti, pero', hanno apprezzato lo scherzo. A esprimere "la sua più profonda indignazione alla scoperta della manipolazione attuata dai servizi segreti ucraini per la loro guerra dell'informazione" e' la ONG "Reporter senza frontiere". Anche il ministro degli Esteri belga, Didier Reynders, ha chiesto spiegazioni al regime ucraino. Una versione parodica del caso Skripal, la definiscono a Mosca. D'altronde, come sostiene la portavoce della diplomazia russa, Maria Zakharova, a Kiev, "l'isterismo antirusso è l'unico modo rimasto per restare al potere".

La decisione di imporre un dazio del 25% sulle importazioni di prodotti cinesi per un valore totale di 50 miliardi di dollari, e' stata annunciata, martedi' scorso, dalla Casa Bianca. La lista completa dei prodotti verrà comunicata il 15 giugno e le tariffe potrebbero entrare in vigore dopo appena due settimane. Entro il 30 giugno, inoltre, Washington intende annunciare ulteriori misure volte a frenare gli investimenti cinesi negli Stati Uniti e ad aumentare il controllo sull'esportazione di tecnologie statunitensi in Cina. Pechino non ha nascosto la sua sorpresa di fronte alla decisione della Casa Bianca, in netto contrasto con quanto concordato a Washington con la delegazione cinese lo scorso 20 maggio. La portavoce della diplomazia cinese, Hua Chunying, ha messo in guardia gli Stati Uniti: questi cambi di opinione continui, ha detto, potrebbero rovinarne la reputazione. Pechino, in ogni caso, si riserva il diritto di rispondere adeguatamente alle nuove misure. Le azioni intraprese da Washington per pareggiare la bilancia commerciale con la Cina rischiano di provocare l'effetto contrario. Secondo quanto riferito dai mass media, Pechino avrebbe lanciato 46 nuovi progetti con l'obiettivo di raggiungere l'Occidente nella produzione di microprocessori di qualita' entro il 2020. Una decisione presa dopo che, lo scorso aprile, il dipartimento del commercio degli Stati Uniti aveva vietato alle aziende americane di vendere componenti al colosso cinese degli smartphone, Zte. Un duro colpo, quindi, per il gigante statunitense dei chip, Intel, che oggi fornisce i suoi prodotti alla Cina per un ammontare di 200 miliardi di dollari all'anno.Miguel Diaz-Canel, Presidente di CubaA nome dei cubani, che hanno apprezzato le tue vittorie, il talento e la solidarietà di fronte all'aggressione della destra imperialista e neoliberista, consapevoli che l'eredità rivoluzionaria è viva e vibrante in Venezuela, io dichiaro senza esitazioni che non importa quanto siano grandi le difficoltà e le sfide.

Italia, la finanza mondiale pronta a concretizzare le sue minacceMentre, in Italia, la situazione politica resta fluida, mercoledi', l'agenzia di rating statunitense Moody's ha messo sotto osservazione 12 banche italiane in vista di un possibile declassamento del rating sovrano. Nella decisione sono coinvolte UniCredit, Intesa Sanpaolo, Banca Imi, Cdp, Mediobanca, Bnl, Fca Bank, Credito Emiliano, Credit Agricole-Cariparma, Cassa Centrale Raiffeisen, Invitalia e, infine, la Banca del Mezzogiorno. A stretto giro, Moody's ha preso in considerazione la possibilità di ridurre i rating a lungo termine delle società di servizi ai consumatori Cdp Reti, Compagnia valdostana delle acque, Hera, Italgas, Snam e Terna. Sotto esame anche i colossi Eni, Poste Italiane e Rai. Ma in alcuni Paesi, per esempio in Cina e in Russia, la grande troika americana delle agenzie di rating - Standard and Poor's, Moody's e Fitch - da tempo viene chiamata con il suo nome, ovvero uno strumento dell'elite finanziaria degli Stati Uniti nella lotta contro i suoi concorrenti. Completamente priva di trasparenza e di obiettività, se non quella dei suoi interessi economici, nel 2017 Moody's aveva tagliato il rating della Cina, la cui economia è in costante crescita da quasi trent'anni. "Il debito continua a salire e il potenziale di crescita rallenta", scrivevano allora gli analisti di Moody's dagli Stati Uniti, Paese che vanta un debito pubblico record di 21 mila miliardi di dollari, in crescita a una velocita' pari a oltre 36 volte quella del Pil. Non e' una novita' il coinvolgimento della troika nella crisi finanziaria di dieci anni fa: la banca Lehman Brothers aveva continuato a mantenere il rating “A” fino al 15 settembre del 2008, il giorno del suo fallimento. Per non parlare della Grecia. Non semplici osservatori esterni, quindi, ma partecipanti attivi agli eventi assieme ai mass media, perfetti canali di trasmissione del terrorismo finanziario.
