A power outage left several municipalities in Havana without manufactured gas on Tuesday, although the service has since been restored. According to the Empresa de Gas Manufacturado, the outage occurred due to a general electrical failure at Production Plant 2, which supplies gas to the Playa - Marianao network.
The entity attributed the failure to severe weather conditions. The note indicated that the Empresa Eléctrica de La Habana and the Gas Manufacturado company managed to restore the service as quickly as possible and offered apologies for any inconvenience caused.
Several internet users expressed their frustration with the explanation given to customers. "Severe weather. A summer downpour and loud thunder. When it's not one thing, it's another. How did they manage a few years ago? Now, just a sneeze from Saint Peter and Cuba catches pneumonia," questioned a craftswoman.
"Cupet, you were the only one missing from the club of the inept. Welcome, my friend, you now join UNE, Etecsa, Aguas de La Habana, civil registries, collective law firms, Mincin, Minsap, etc., etc.," stated another woman.
"The issue isn't the weather's severity; the true severity lies with the leadership, which neither anticipated nor fixed the problems," criticized an elderly woman.
