He added that there is also a recognition by Cubans of the Drafting Commission and the specialists who have led the explanation processes.

The head of state considered that it is necessary to work person to person, house to house, family to family, youth to youth, worker to worker.

"It is time also to explain how the Referendum will be, how the vote will be taken, what is the question to be asked, how the validity of the process will be measured so that people participate consciously," he added.

He stressed that this is a Code of Families, above all, of spirit, feelings, and understanding towards a group of unresolved problems in the island's society.
