CUBA: Another minister dismissed
Cuba’s minister for foreign trade & investment (Mincex), Ricardo Cabrisas, has become the latest cabinet member to see the door. As with the departure in February of now-former economy minister Alejandro Gil (2018-2024) [WR-24-05], Cabrisas’ dismissal is the latest suggestion of strife at the top as a result of the economic crisis afflicting the island. This stems from factors including the continued impact of the coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic, devastation wreaked by hurricanes, US economic sanctions, and the dire state of energy infrastructure.
