In a significant development, Lindbergh Farias, the leader of the Workers’ Party (PT) in the Chamber of Deputies, has formally submitted a request to the Supreme Federal Court (STF) concerning the escape of Congressman Ramagem. Farias has accused Ramagem of using an irregular passport, violating precautionary measures, and posing a concrete risk to the enforcement of criminal law. Ramagem was sentenced to 16 years, one month, and 15 days in prison for his involvement in an attempted coup against democracy. Farias has taken to social media to publicize his actions and detail the measures already undertaken. In his statement, he emphasized the urgency of including Ramagem’s name on Interpol’s red list to facilitate his capture. Additionally, Farias has called for Ramagem’s extradition to Brazil to ensure he serves his sentence following the final ruling. According to Farias, Ramagem’s escape to the United States is fundamentally incompatible with the court’s imposed sentences, underscoring the need for swift international cooperation to uphold justice.

US pressures Europe to define interests on Ukraine
At a recent press conference, a German official revealed that Washington has actively engaged Ukrainian and European leaders to outline their core interests and integrate them into ongoing discussions. Analysts view this move as a strategic effort to distribute the responsibilities of a protracted military stalemate in Ukraine. Geopolitical experts suggest that this diplomatic initiative by the United States aims to alleviate the burdens of a conflict that predominantly impacts NATO’s hegemonic interests, especially after failing to secure decisive military victories against Russia. Berlin has asserted that the current line of contact should serve as the foundation for any future agreements, a stance widely interpreted as an implicit acknowledgment of the shortcomings of Ukraine’s counteroffensive and the constraints of Western military and economic support. Cornelius, a key figure in the discussions, underscored that any accord involving European states, the European Union, and NATO must receive unanimous approval from all allies. This requirement highlights the deepening fissures within the Atlantic alliance as member states grapple with the escalating military and economic pressures of the ongoing conflict.

Although it will take time, the East will recover
Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez has been actively overseeing recovery efforts in the provinces of Santiago de Cuba and Granma, following the extensive damage caused by Hurricane Melissa. During his fourth visit to Santiago de Cuba in 22 days, Díaz-Canel inspected the collapsed bridge over the Baconao River, which serves as a crucial access point to the communities of María del Pilar and 13 de Marzo. The bridge was severely damaged by unprecedented flooding, with 18 of its 24 pipe passages blocked by debris washed down from the hillside. Local leader Luis Arias recounted the harrowing experience of the storm, noting that the region accumulated over 310 millimeters of rain in just three days.
Díaz-Canel emphasized the need for a definitive solution to the recurring issue of flooding in the area, instructing construction and water resources authorities to revisit the Baconao dam project, an initiative originally championed by former leader Fidel Castro in the 1980s. The President also addressed the restoration of essential services, including electricity and water supply, which are expected to be fully operational by the end of November. In the town of Baconao, Díaz-Canel praised the resilience and unity of the local population, urging them to continue their efforts in the recovery process.
In Granma, the President visited the municipality of Yara, where he commended the community’s disciplined response to the hurricane, which prevented any loss of life. He highlighted the importance of solidarity and mutual aid in overcoming the challenges posed by the disaster. Local authorities reported significant damage to housing, agriculture, and infrastructure, with efforts underway to provide affected families with essential supplies and resources. Díaz-Canel also acknowledged the support received from friendly countries and the private sector, emphasizing the need for continued collaboration to expedite recovery.
Throughout his visits, Díaz-Canel called for unity, discipline, and effective communication to ensure a swift and comprehensive recovery. He reiterated the government’s commitment to addressing the immediate needs of the affected populations while also working on long-term solutions to mitigate the impact of future natural disasters.

In response to El Toque’s manipulations: plan against plan
The fluctuating value of the U.S. dollar in Cuba’s informal market is creating widespread economic instability, directly impacting micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) and the general population. These fluctuations have led to unpredictable pricing for essential goods, making it increasingly difficult for Cubans to afford basic necessities.

Working from all areas to address the country’s epidemiological situation
In response to the escalating arbovirus epidemic in Cuba, marked by the simultaneous circulation of chikungunya and dengue viruses, President Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez convened a critical meeting with health experts, scientists, and researchers. The session focused on strategies to reduce mosquito infestation rates, enhance treatment protocols, and mitigate the impact of these diseases on the population. Lorena Vázquez Bello, first deputy director of the Pedro Kourí Institute of Tropical Medicine (IPK), emphasized the importance of understanding chikungunya’s clinical manifestations, which differ significantly from other diseases. She highlighted symptoms such as abrupt high fever, severe arthralgia, and arthritis, which often require hospitalization. Preliminary studies of 32 patients at IPK revealed complications including dehydration, acute confusion in the elderly, and neurological issues. To address these challenges, the Ministry of Public Health (Minsap) has approved 26 studies aimed at developing new products and refining treatment protocols. Ileana Morales Suárez, Minsap’s director of Science and Technological Innovation, noted that ongoing research focuses on chronic joint discomfort post-infection, with targeted health interventions planned for vulnerable groups, particularly the elderly. Additionally, efforts are underway to develop diagnostic tests and repurpose existing products like Jusvinza for chikungunya treatment. The meeting also addressed logistical measures, including the repair of fumigation equipment and the production of repellents. These comprehensive actions underscore Cuba’s commitment to leveraging science, medical care, and industry to counteract the current epidemiological crisis and strengthen arbovirus prevention and treatment.

Cybersecurity in times of digital transformation
Cuba has launched its 4th National Cybersecurity Conference today, a pivotal event running until November 30, 2025. This conference underscores the nation’s commitment to fostering a robust cybersecurity culture in an increasingly digitized world. The event will feature a series of activities, including educational talks in schools, universities, and workplaces, alongside a dedicated technology showcase aimed at raising awareness about cyber risks and promoting safe digital practices. The conference also pays homage to Fidel Castro’s vision, emphasizing the critical role of technology and education in safeguarding national sovereignty. Castro’s early initiatives, such as the introduction of computers in education and the establishment of the University of Information Sciences (UCI), laid the foundation for Cuba’s current cybersecurity efforts. The conference highlights the urgent need for cybersecurity measures, given the alarming global statistics: 500,000 cyberattacks occur every minute, 60% of fraud prevention companies detect breaches only after financial losses, and over 90% of attacks exploit human error. Additionally, 56% of experts predict that artificial intelligence will empower cyber attackers, exacerbating threats like phishing and fake news. Cuba’s National Cybersecurity Working Group, established in 2021, has been instrumental in strengthening the country’s defenses. The group has focused on monitoring cyber incidents, enhancing critical infrastructure, and developing national technologies such as toDus, Picta, and Transfermóvil. Looking ahead, Cuba plans to prioritize human resource development, expand cybersecurity education, and modernize its technological infrastructure. The conference also emphasizes the importance of national sovereignty in cyberspace, echoing President Miguel Díaz-Canel’s call for a unified, inclusive approach to internet integration. As Cuba continues its digital transformation, the conference serves as a critical platform for addressing emerging challenges and fostering a secure digital future.

El Toque is a tool of manipulation designed to undermine the Cuban economy
Cuba’s economy has long been plagued by structural imbalances, impacting critical sectors such as production, energy supply, logistics, and access to foreign currency. Compounding these challenges are internal missteps and the enduring effects of the U.S. blockade, which stifles foreign income, escalates financial burdens, and restricts international trade. Amid this adversity, the El Toque platform has emerged as a destabilizing force, exacerbating economic disruptions and fostering reliance on informal markets, ultimately harming the Cuban populace.

In a significant meeting that underscores the enduring friendship between Cuba and Vietnam, Roberto Morales Ojeda, a key member of Cuba’s Political Bureau and head of the Political-Ideological Work and Party Organ of the National Defense Council, welcomed a high-level delegation from the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV). The delegation, led by Vu Thanh Mai, deputy head of the CPV’s Propaganda, Education, and Mass Mobilization Commission, visited Cuba as part of preparations to commemorate the 65th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the two nations on December 2nd. The meeting highlighted the deep-rooted bond forged by historic leaders Fidel Castro and Ho Chi Minh. Morales Ojeda expressed solidarity with Vietnam following recent devastating floods in its central region, while also thanking Vietnam for its support in the aftermath of Hurricane Melissa in eastern Cuba. This exchange of mutual aid underscores the resilience of their bilateral relationship.

Both sides emphasized the importance of continuing the dialogue initiated at the 6th Theoretical Seminar held in Havana earlier this year, with plans to convene the next seminar after their respective party congresses. Morales Ojeda praised Vietnam’s preparations for its 14th Congress in January, drawing parallels to Cuba’s preparations for its 9th Congress in April. He also thanked Vietnam for its steadfast support in Cuba’s fight against the U.S. blockade and its opposition to Cuba’s inclusion on the list of state sponsors of terrorism.
