El colapso del castrismo en Cuba o como el plan de Trump ha ahogado al régimen

#cuba #trump #havana #cuba Cuba is facing a crisis that threatens the very pillars that sustained the regime for more than six decades. The economy is collapsing, blackouts are paralyzing the country, and fuel shortages are affecting everything from transportation to hospitals. Meanwhile, Donald Trump’s pressure on oil supplies and discreet talks with sectors close to the Cuban leadership are fueling a question that seemed almost unthinkable just a few years ago: could Castroism actually fall? But to understand what is really happening on the island, we first need to understand how the Cuban system works. Because power in Cuba does not depend solely on Miguel Díaz-Canel. Behind him still stand the Communist Party, the Armed Forces, and GAESA, the massive military-controlled economic conglomerate. “Raúl Castro, at 94 years old, remains a key figure who would likely need to approve any major decision,” explains Cuban-American historian Michael Bustamante from the University of Miami. The regime may be weakened, but it is not defenseless. “Cuba is not a failed state… the state still maintains a monopoly on the use of force,” Bustamante warns. And that is one of the key questions behind this story: whether the Cuban system is truly approaching its end… or whether it can once again reinvent itself to survive. 00:00 Is the Cuban regime collapsing? 01:21 How power really works in Cuba 02:48 The system sustaining Castroism: the Party, the military, and GAESA 04:09 Cuba’s economy enters total crisis 05:38 Oil: the lifeblood of the Cuban system 06:30 Venezuela, Mexico, and Trump’s pressure on Cuba 07:24 Energy collapse and massive blackouts 08:32 The end of social equality in Cuba 09:13 Trump’s strategy and negotiations with the regime 10:29 Repression, emigration, and social control 12:23 Are we really witnessing the end of Castroism?
