Washington. This Tuesday, the United States Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, stated that the reforms presented by Cuba during the negotiations with Washington are not a significant change and asserted that they will not be sufficient to solve a crisis-ridden economy. «Cuba faces a dysfunctional economy, as well as a political and governmental system that cannot be repaired, so radical changes are necessary.» What was communicated yesterday is not substantial and will not resolve the issue. «They must face some key decisions,» Rubio warned the media in the Oval Office. This Monday, President Miguel Díaz-Canel’s government announced that it would allow citizens living abroad to invest in private companies on the island. These measures also encompass the participation of investors in infrastructure in sectors deemed a priority, such as tourism, mining, and energy.
Marco Rubio considers that the changes announced by Cuba are not «drastic enough».
