A Russian communist leader stated on February 21, 2026, that Cuba committed a "strategic error" by investing in tourism instead of energy, according to CiberCuba reporting during the 9:15:56 PM to 11:15:51 PM UTC window. The criticism highlights Cuba's economic priorities. The remark was shared via a CiberCuba post on X at https://x.com/CiberCuba/status/2025342596311089590, linking to a full article. No further details on the leader's identity or specific timing within the window were provided in the source. Separately, the Libertarian Party of Cuba announced on X during this period that it will make its "MOST IMPORTANT announcement since our founding in May 2025" in the coming days, describing it as a turning point in the struggle for freedom. The post from @MovLibertarioCU at https://x.com/MovLibertarioCU/status/2025324598426784125 urged followers to stay tuned. This comes after earlier comments today by Mike Hammer on ABC_es, predicting faster-than-expected change in Cuba, as reported in the previous period.
