Given the threat posed by Storm Rafael, which must enter the west of the island as a hurricane, the suspension of appointments scheduled for the next few days at the Consulate General of Spain in Cuba seems practically inevitable.
The Consulate General of Spain in Havana has issued a statement to Spanish tourists and residents in Cuba, warning about the possible deterioration of weather conditions on the island.
Given the forecast of unfavorable weather, the authorities urge the Spanish community to stay informed and carefully follow the recommendations of the Civil Defense and the consulate itself.
Cuba’s Civil Defense has also emphasized the importance of taking precautions and staying up to date on weather alerts. With the approach of conditions that could affect the safety and operation of various services, authorities urge everyone to follow their instructions to avoid unnecessary risks.
Reactions to lack of clarity
This statement has generated various reactions on social networks, especially among applicants for consular procedures at the Consulate General of Spain in Havana. Some users, interested in the processing of Spanish nationality under the Democratic Memory Law, expressed their frustration due to the delays in the management of their documents. They point out that the note from the consular headquarters does not clarify whether the appointments scheduled for the next dates will be canceled.
In an ironic tone, a user asked if the credentials had been lost in the cyclone, even though it has not yet impacted the island.
The consulate, for its part, has insisted that the possible worsening of the weather could affect its services. But it does not detail at the moment whether it will close in the coming days.
To do this, they recommend users to follow the updates through their official social networks and pay attention to the alerts that are issued.
