The Organization Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba (PCC), Roberto Morales, assured today that the profound transformations being debated in the organization's Extraordinary Plenary are aimed at preserving the Revolution and the conquests of Socialism.

Presidencia reported on its Facebook account that the PCC Politburo member affirmed that Cuba "is a State that resists and seeks alternatives." Morales emphasized that the Party will continue to be the most revolutionary force within the Revolution, and unity will remain "our response" to imperial pretensions of destroying the Revolution.

For his part, the island's Prime Minister, Manuel Marrero, detailed the transformations announced days ago by Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel, which will allow the country to advance amid the complex difficulties caused by the intensification of the economic, commercial, financial, and energy blockade.

Marrero noted that these address issues such as the management of economic actors, the economic planning system, the downsizing of the budget sector, and municipal autonomy. He also pointed to energy development, agricultural recovery, social, labor, and wage transformations, modernization of the banking and financial system, changes in the tax system, foreign investment, and others.

The Head of Government emphasized that the proposals conceive profound changes, in correspondence with the 2026 Government Economic and Social Plan. He ratified that the measures "do not constitute a deviation from the socialist project; on the contrary, they respond to the logic proper to its development," he asserted.

This party meeting began in the afternoon hours of Wednesday with the presence of the PCC Politburo and is headed by its First Secretary and President of the Republic, Miguel Díaz-Canel.

Among the changes announced by the Cuban head of state are the elimination of the mandatory requirement to carry out import and export operations through state enterprises, which would allow more direct participation by economic actors. Tariff incentives are foreseen for importing raw materials destined for national production, along with a reorganization of logistics chains to favor exports and foreign currency generation; greater autonomy for state enterprises, which could define their own wage systems and expand their commercial powers.

Similarly, the proposals grant greater competencies to municipalities to manage foreign currency, authorize businesses, and participate directly in foreign trade activities, while an institutional reform would reduce the number of ministries from 27 to 21.
