La Habana, Cuba. Cuba, bajo fuerte presión de Washington, anunció este miércoles la apertura a los privados de amplios sectores de su economía como gasolineras, farmacias y las energías renovables, semanas después de que el Parlamento aprobara un paquete de medidas a favor de la economía de mercado.

Distribución de gasolina, servicios farmacéuticos y ópticos, residencias de ancianos, terminales de pasajeros y carga, instalaciones portuarias, importación de vehículos, energías renovables, y operaciones petroleras y mineras (bajo ciertas condiciones): ramas enteras de la economía están ahora abiertas al sector privado, según comunicados oficiales difundidos por los medios estatales.
