Cuba continues today with the challenge of moving forward with its efforts, in an adverse scenario due to the tightening of the U.S. blockade against the island and the international economic crisis.

This was stated by Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel during his tours of the country’s municipalities, where he emphasized the leading role of the people in overcoming the current context.

The day before, in the municipality of Morón in Ciego de Avila province, the head of state stressed the potentialities that exist on the island to solve problems: «we have talent, we have desire in all the Cuban people to achieve it,» he said.

The president also stressed the importance of generalizing the positive experiences of business entities, which – in his opinion – have influenced the recovery of others with poor performance.

Since the beginning of the year, the President frequently visits municipalities in all the territories of the country, where he holds meetings with groups of successful economic and social centers, or those which, despite not having performed well in previous years, are on the right track in 2024, even in the mamidions.

According to the Presidency of the Republic, these exchanges constitute spaces for learning, criticisms are made and it is identified what the Central Administration of the State and other national entities have to contribute to support the municipalities.

Besides the President, other leaders of the Caribbean nation are also touring the territories to talk with the population and check the state of socio-economic centers.

On Thursday, the president of the National Assembly of People’s Power (Parliament), Esteban Lazo, arrived in Matanzas province, where he called for a proactive position, with a view to self-supplying the province, innovating and growing in production.
