The trade union movement, with the support of the administrative and political leaderships of the province of Ciego de Ávila, will begin this week and until March 31 of this year the political process of presentation of the economic plan and the 2023 budget in the labor collectives.

According to an editorial published in the newspaper Trabajadores, the debates will take place in a complex context, characterized by the insufficient acquisition of convertible foreign currency, a high level of shortages, fiscal deficit, notable inflation which is reflected in the speculative growth of prices with the consequent loss of the purchasing power of salaries, which together with the intensified imperialist economic blockade, has repercussions on the quality of life of the population.

In this sense, the National Secretariat of the Cuban Workers´ Union calls for a profound exchange of ideas and arguments in each work center, to take advantage of the collective intelligence and put it to work to find solutions because the true economic plan is the one that responds to the demands of the people.

He emphasizes the call to concentrate the debates on how to promote the exportation of goods and services, the substitution of imports, the promotion of foreign investment, the progress in the stabilization of the macro economy of the country, the promotion of food production, the reduction of inequalities, the decentralization of competences in function of a greater municipal autonomy and the integral transformation of the Socialist State Enterprise.
