Hasan Piker, a progressive media personality and streamer, downplayed the severity of rolling blackouts in Cuba while on a recent trip to the communist island,<\/a> telling viewers that the population was “partying.”<\/p>\n

“There are rolling blackouts that take place throughout the day, every day, all around the country. But today is a beautiful day out here. People are partying. People are partying in the f—— streets. I don\u2019t know if it\u2019s an island mindset,” Piker said.<\/p>\n

The remarks come as U.S. officials warn the island faces a deepening energy crisis, highlighting a stark divide between firsthand accounts and government assessments.<\/p>\n

Piker, who has supported self-declared progressives like Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani,<\/a> praised the Cubans for their endurance.<\/p>\n

“The people\u2019s resilience is remarkable. There are rolling blackouts that take<\/a> place throughout the day, every day, all around the country, right? 11 million people.”<\/p>\n

POST-MADURO, PRESSURE BUILDS ON MEXICO OVER CUBA\u2019S NEW OIL LIFELINE<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Piker\u2019s descriptions come as Cuba\u2019s communist regime finds itself choked off from access to energy imports after a U.S. operation in Venezuela resulted in the capture of President Nicol\u00e1s Maduro<\/a> earlier this year.<\/p>\n

According to the Department of State, Cuba began to experience energy shortages shortly afterward.<\/p>\n

“Understand that Cuba has largely survived on the basis of subsidies. The Maduro regime was providing them fuel,” Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in a press <\/a>event <\/a>at the White House.<\/p>\n

“So, the reason why Cuba\u2019s electricity grid was already<\/a> in collapse \u2014 before Maduro was captured, it was already in collapse \u2014 the reason why things are as bad as they are is because they have an economic model that does not work. It\u2019s not functional,” Rubio said.<\/p>\n

CUBAN ACTIVIST TO TRUMP: \u2018MAKE CUBA GREAT AGAIN\u2019 BY ENDING COMMUNIST RULE<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

President Donald Trump has characterized the energy crisis<\/a> as severe and said he believes public unrest has strengthened U.S. influence over the island.<\/p>\n

“I do believe I’ll be the honor of taking Cuba… That’s a big honor. They’re a very weakened nation right now. They were for a long time,” Trump told reporters last week.<\/a><\/p>\n

Trump did not expand on what he meant by “taking” the island.<\/p>\n

Piker\u2019s characterizations, however, contrast sharply with the way the administration has framed the on-the-ground circumstances on the island.<\/p>\n

RUBIO SAYS CUBA NEEDS \u2018NEW PEOPLE IN CHARGE\u2019 AS BLACKOUTS, UNREST GRIP ISLAND<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

“A lot of the info that you see and hear from the island is like directly coming from like, most of the time, National Endowment for Democracy-Foundation-backed individuals, State Department propaganda, things like that,” Piker said, referring to a pro-Democracy group.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s very difficult to get information out of here. Even though it’s so close,” he added. “They\u2019re just chilling. Cubans they vibe,”<\/p>\n

Piker did not respond to requests for comment from Fox News Digital.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
