美国国务卿马可·鲁比奥周三以西班牙语录制视频，直接向古巴民众发表讲话，批评该国精英阶层腐败，并承诺为古巴民众提供一条“新道路”，其中包括拟议的1亿美元食品和药品援助计划。此番表态之际，美国官员正准备宣布起诉前总统劳尔·卡斯特罗。
鲁比奥的父母是在菲德尔·卡斯特罗掌权两年前移民到佛罗里达州的古巴人。他将矛头对准了古巴企业管理集团（GAESA）——一个与政界关系密切的古巴商业组织。鲁比奥称该集团资产达180亿美元，控制着古巴70%的经济。
“他们从酒店、建筑、银行、商店，甚至从你们在美国的亲友寄给你们的汇款中牟利，所有一切都要经过他们的手，”鲁比奥的讲话经翻译后说道。“他们从这些汇款中抽取一定比例，而从GAESA获得的利润则丝毫不会落到你们手中。”
目前古巴全国大部分地区正遭遇大规模停电，自1月以来美国一直阻挠石油进入该国，导致本就脆弱的电网崩溃。古巴此前一贯依靠委内瑞拉领导人尼古拉斯·马杜罗供应石油，但马杜罗已于1月被美国通过军事行动推翻政权，并面临贩毒指控。
“你们被迫每天断电22小时，原因并非美国的‘石油封锁’。你们比任何人都清楚，多年来你们一直在经历停电，”鲁比奥说。“你们缺电、缺燃料、缺食品的真正原因，是那些掌控国家的人掠夺了数十亿美元，却从未拿出分毫用于改善民众生活。”

鲁比奥表示，1亿美元救灾物资援助——美国此前曾提出过类似援助计划——必须通过天主教会或其他慈善机构直接分发给古巴民众，以避免援助“被GAESA窃取，用于在其旗下商店售卖”。
“特朗普总统正致力于建立美古两国间的全新关系，”鲁比奥在视频中说道。“但这种关系必须直接与你们——古巴民众——建立，而非与GAESA。”
鲁比奥还谈到了终结古巴的共产主义制度，该制度已在古巴存续67年。
“如今在古巴，只有与GAESA精英阶层关系密切或是属于该集团的人，才能经营盈利的生意，”鲁比奥对古巴民众说。“但特朗普总统正为美国和一个全新的古巴之间开辟新道路。”
“在这个全新的古巴，你们——普通古巴民众——而非仅仅GAESA，可以拥有加油站、服装店或是餐厅，”他补充道。
据熟悉调查情况的消息人士向哥伦比亚广播公司新闻透露，这番言论发表当日，正是94岁的劳尔·卡斯特罗预计将被美国政府起诉的日子。
美国官员本月早些时候向哥伦比亚广播公司新闻透露，针对这位长期独裁者菲德尔·卡斯特罗的弟弟的案件，与1996年古巴击落两架由人道主义组织“拯救兄弟”运营的小型飞机有关。
劳尔·卡斯特罗于2021年正式辞去古巴共产党中央委员会第一书记职务，但仍被广泛视为该国最具影响力的人物之一。米格尔·迪亚斯-卡内尔是现任古巴国家主席兼共产党中央委员会第一书记。
Rubio offers Cubans “new path” in video address as U.S. prepares to indict Raúl Castro

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio spoke Wednesday directly to the Cuban people in a video recorded in Spanish, criticizing the country’s elite for being corrupt and offering a “new path,” including a proposed $100 million influx of food and medicine. The message came as U.S. officials are preparing to announce an expected indictment of former President Raúl Castro.
Rubio, the son of Cuban parents who immigrated to Florida two years before Fidel Castro rose to power, targeted the Grupo de Administración Empresarial S.A., or GAESA, a politically-connected Cuban business organization that Rubio alleges has $18 billion in assets and control 70% of the economy.
“They profit from hotels, construction, banks, stores and even from the money your relatives send you from the U.S. everything, everything passes through their hands,” Rubio said, translated from Spanish. “From those remittances they retain a percentage, but from GAESA’s profits nothing reaches you.”
Cuba is currently dealing with a massive blackout affecting most of the country as an already shaky power grid crashed due to the U.S. blocking oil from entering the country since January. Cuba routinely received oil supplies from Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro, but he was removed from power by the U.S. in a military operation in January and indicted on drug trafficking charges.
“The reason you are forced to survive 22 hours a day without electricity is not due to an oil ‘blockade’ by the U.S. As you know, better than anyone, you have been suffering from blackouts for years,” Rubio said. “The real reason you don’t have electricity, fuel, or food is because those who control your country have plundered billions of dollars, but nothing has been used to help the people.”

Rubio said the offer of $100 million in relief supplies, one the U.S. has made previously, must be distributed to the Cuban people through the Catholic Church or other charitable groups in order to avoid it being “stolen by GAESA to sell in one of their stores.”
“President Trump is offering a new relationship between the U.S. and Cuba,” Rubio said in the video. “But it must be directly with you, the Cuban people, not with GAESA.”
Rubio also spoke about ending communism in the country, which has now reigned for 67 years.
“Today in Cuba, only those close to the GAESA elite or who are part of it can have profitable businesses,” Rubio told the Cuban people. “But President Trump is offering a new path between the U.S. and a new Cuba.”
“A new Cuba where you, the ordinary Cuban, and not just GAESA, can own a gas station or a clothing store, or a restaurant,” he added.
The comments come on the same day as the 94-year-old Rául Castro was expected to be indicted by the U.S. government, sources familiar with the investigation told CBS News.
The case against Castro, the brother of longtime dictator Fidel Castro, is related to Cuba shooting down two small planes operated by humanitarian group Brothers to the Rescue in 1996, U.S. officials told CBS News earlier this month.
Raúl Castro formally stepped down as the leader of Cuba’s Communist Party in 2021, but he is still widely seen as one of the most powerful figures in the country. Miguel Díaz-Canel is the current president of Cuba and leader of the Communist Party.
