Spanish Hotel Giant Meliá Exits Cuba, Crushing Communist Regime’s Tourism Profits
https://www.breitbart.com/latin-america/2026/07/22/spanish-hotel-giant-melia-exits-cuba-crushing-communist-regimes-tourism-profits/
The Spanish hospitality firm Meliá Hotels International announced on Tuesday that it would end all its operations in Cuba by July 24, citing “notable difficulties of an operative, legal, economic, and financial nature” of doing business there.
Meliá is a global hotel giant and has long been among the companies profiting most handsomely from doing business with the Communist Party of Cuba. For decades it was responsible for running some of the most lavish hotel properties in Cuba, which all international companies must do through the regime conglomerate Grupo de Administración Empresarial S.A. (GAESA) as per communist law. Meliá’s exit from the market follows President Donald Trump approving expanded sanctions on GAESA and its leadership, as well as Cuba largely running out of fuel and, thus, electricity, resulting in a critical drop in tourism.
Cuba’s ongoing electricity crisis began years ago as the Castro regime failed to properly maintain the nation’s power grid, siphoning nearly all of the country’s money into the prodigious Castro family estate. It was exacerbated significantly in January by the arrest of longtime ally Nicolás Maduro, the former dictator of Venezuela, who provided free or highly discounted oil to the island nation for years, allowing luxury tourism areas to use generators independent of the power grid to provide customers with electricity. Maduro’s successor Delcy Rodríguez halted the oil subsidy program and Cuba’s other political allies – including Russia, China, and Iran – have failed to step in and refuel the country, leaving it largely powerless.
In a statement on Tuesday, Meliá, which previously managed 34 hotels nationwide, announced that it would no longer operate anywhere in Cuba by July 24. The independent outlet Cubanet reported that the company declared its intentions to exit Cuba to Spain’s National Securities Market Commission on Tuesday. This means the Meliá brand will no longer be present in the country, nor will its subsidiaries manage hotel business such as stocking its restaurants and rooms with toiletries – a significant challenge in the daily life of the average Cuban, who cannot afford lodgings in tourist hotels.
In its declaration to the Spanish government, Meliá stated it would work to ensure an “orderly transition” from its management to, presumably, management by the Cuban state directly. Cubanet reported that the hotels could still continue to function under new names and controlled by the Communist Party, but they could no longer benefit from the Meliá name nor its logistics for stocking the venues.
Meliá had already announced that it had a foot out the door in June, following American sanctions directly targeting GAESA, the Communist Party entity that manages tourism and nearly every other key profit center of the Castro regime. A month ago the company announced it would stop managing 15 of its 34 hotels, stating that it was necessary as “a consequence of a combination of unforeseen circumstances beyond the capacity of the management or actions” of its leadership. At the time, reports indicated that one of the affected hotels would be the Gran Hotel Bristol Habana, which Cuban locals identified as the location used to house the celebrity leftists who participated in the pro-communist “Nuestra América” convoy in March. The convoy was internationally condemned for supporting the island’s repressive tyranny and engaging in crude activities such as allegedly making impoverished Cuban children dance for cookies.
The State Department announced sanctions on GAESA, the Cuban tourism corporation, in May as a form of targeting “the heart of Cuba’s kleptocratic communist system.”
“Controlling an estimated 40 percent or more of the island’s economy, GAESA is involved in various sectors of the Cuban economy and is designed to generate income not for the Cuban people, but only for the benefit of its corrupt elites,” Secretary of State Marco Rubio observed at the time. “According to recent public estimates, GAESA’s revenues are likely more than three times the state’s budget, and GAESA likely controls up to $20 billion in illicit assets.”

“Criminal Sexual Conduct”: Sheriff’s Department Honors Muslim Imam . . . Then Arrests Him
https://thelibertydaily.com/criminal-sexual-conduct-sheriffs-department-honors-imam-then/
A Muslim imam who in 2024 was honored by a sheriff’s office with a “public service award” now has been arrested by that same office on suspicion of sexual assault.
It is the RAIR Foundation that is reporting on the scandal that has developed in South Carolina’s Richland County.
It involves imam Louai Elkhatib, a prominent official in the local Muslim community with responsibilities at a mosque and school.
The foundation reported, “In September 2024, the Richland County Sheriff’s Department proudly celebrated Louai Elkhatib, 55, with a public award for ‘5 years of continuous service’ in their ProACT community program.”
It cited photographs showing him smiling and shaking hands with department officials.
Then this year he was arrested, for allegedly “serially sexually assaulting women in his mosque and school.”
