Thank you very much.
Thank you to the witnesses for those very touching testimonies in your opening remarks.
There have been 67 years of communist rule, and Cuba is in the midst of its worst humanitarian crisis since the “special period”. Why do you believe that it is not external factors but the government's centralized economic mismanagement that is the primary driver of the shortages of food, medicine, electricity and clean water that ordinary Cubans are suffering from today? I know you touched on it a bit in your opening statement. Go ahead.
