🚨 Cuba Rejects Marco Rubio’s Statements and Denounces “Lies” Used to Justify Collective Punishment
🇨🇺 Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez rejected recent statements by U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and asserted that they seek to justify Washington’s tightening of sanctions and measures against the island.
🗣️ Through his account on social media platform X, the head of Cuban diplomacy stated that Rubio “reiterated last Monday a specific set of lies with which he seeks to justify collective punishment against the Cuban people.”
⚠️ Rodríguez’s response came after Rubio labeled Cuba a “failed state” and warned that the Donald Trump administration will not tolerate the island becoming “an operational platform against U.S. national security.”
🇩🇰⚽ Speaking at the General Assembly of European Football Clubs, UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin launched a direct attack on his FIFA counterpart, Gianni Infantino, stating that “the emperor has no clothes,” in reference to Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tale.
🗣️“We all know the story. An emperor is convinced he is wearing magnificent clothes—clothes that, he is told, only fools or the inept cannot see. His court agrees with him until a child simply says out loud what everyone can see: The emperor has no clothes,” Ceferin declared.
📉 He questioned the language FIFA used to defend the FIFA Forward Enterprise project, which would have allowed private entities to acquire up to 20% of competition rights.
“Selling off a piece of soccer’s future doesn’t become ‘development’ just because you call it ‘development,’” he argued.
🚨El Niño Phenomenon Hits Ecuador’s Largest Hydroelectric Plant and Threatens to Worsen the Energy Crisis
💧 The ravages of the El Niño phenomenon are severely impacting the flow at the Coca Codo Sinclair hydroelectric plant—Ecuador’s largest—which fell to an average of 251.74 cubic meters per second between September 15 and 28, compared to 321.16 m³/s in the first half of the month, according to reports from the Ecuadorian Electric Corporation (Celec).
🌧️ The reduction of 69.42 m³/s was due to decreased rainfall on the eastern slope, in the Amazonian provinces of Napo and Sucumbíos, where the plant is located.
⚡ Energy Minister Juan Carlos Blum noted that the lower water availability “introduced another variable” to the country’s electricity generation deficit, given an early dry season that could intensify due to the El Niño phenomenon.
