Cuban Politburo Reports at Communist Party Plenary Session

The Cuban Communist Party Politburo submitted its report to the 10th Plenary Meeting of the Political organization’s Central Committee, headed by its first secretary Miguel Diaz-Canel.

Organization secretary Roberto Morales read a report on the main actions taken by the political organization during the latest period of time and the challenges facing the nation due to the strengthening of the US hostile Cuba policy.

The report describes as a pending issue to resolve the recovery of the local economy, hard hit by the US blockade, the shortage of fuels and lack of resources. Although some macro-economic indicators show slight advancement, results do not favor the people’s everyday life.

The report refers to the country’s complex energy scenario affecting the people and the industry. Participants addressed issues regarding price control, e-banking, the sugar industry, and the local rice program.

The Politburo addressed the implementation of measures to face corruption, crime and illegalities, as well as the improvement of the neighborhood doctor and nurse program, the political communication program and the attention to social policies.

The forum stressed the participation by the Party leadership at the 9th Summit of the CELAC regional organization, the Eurasian Economic Union Supreme Council and other multilateral activities.

The 10th Plenary Session of the Cuban Communist Party Central Committee winds up on July 5th reaffirming the Cuban state’s political willingness to advance the construction of a prosperous and sustainable socialist system, backed by the majority of the people and the unbreakable defense of legality and national sovereignty.
