Is the weekly package planned? Díaz Canel assures he is concerned about the content ​​Cuban Directory

Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel assured a parliamentary session on July 19 that the government was concerned about the content being shared from door to door across the island through the so-called “weekly package.” , a sort of Cuban “Netflix” that brings together soap operas, current movies, entertainment content, sports, and so on.

This Wednesday, the President, who had recently returned from a trip to Europe, described some of the contents of the package circulating on the island as “worrying” given the cultural consumption of foreign programs by children, young people, young people and women. The President also spoke of the “imperialist penetration” that many of the international programs that the people consume have.

Canel expressed that the concern isn’t just the “phones and internet” issue because “there could be more concerns, everything that’s coming to us through the package, through a movie, and whether we’re going to stop making movies watch.” We’re going to stop using the phone?

“We know how these platforms work, how we put our content on this platform, how we develop content, how we take advantage of it and also how we develop a critical vision towards these platforms,” ​​he added.

The weekly package in Cuba: how is it?

The president wants to bring content related to his politics into the “weekly package” to create a “critical vision” of these foreign programs so people can understand what kind of shows or foreign proposals are destroying “our beliefs and traditions.” and introduces “the paradigm of capitalism”.

What is the weekly package? It is about 1 terabyte of digital entertainment with movies, series, music, games and applications that people pass from storage to storage and buy the content in Cuban pesos to the so-called “Paqueteros”. All of this is due to the lack of connectivity on the island, which is why many point out that only someone close to the government can download this amount of data from the island.

As Canel says, the government is aware of the package and while it is not legal, it is allowed. In order to achieve this, those who make up this mass of programming and entertainment avoid casting programs with political content.
