Cuba has witnessed significant political upheaval following controversial economic decisions. Alejandro Gil, the Economy Minister and Vice Prime Minister, was dismissed in the wake of a contentious gas price hike that was scheduled to take effect but subsequently postponed. The Cuban Central Bank president is set to replace him. Additionally, the ministers of agriculture and the food industry were also removed from their positions amid a prolonged economic crisis. These firings come as the government retracted a planned public transportation rate hike due to its unpopularity.
