Cuba's president replaces the country's economy minister following delays to planned price hikes

==========

Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel has replaced the country's economy minister, Alejandro Gil, following a delay in implementing planned price hikes for fuel and transportation. The government had announced measures to increase prices but put them on hold due to a cyberattack. The economic crisis in Cuba has led to hundreds of thousands of people leaving the country. In addition to Gil, Science, Technology and Environment Minister Elba Rosa Perez was also removed from her post and replaced by Eduardo Martinez. The Food Industry Ministry will now be led by Alberto Lopez.
