The Parliament reported on its website that Díaz-Canel explained that there are four priorities for this stage of work, which are the strengthening of national unity, based on the elements raised by the leader of the Revolution, Raúl Castro, in his speech on the occasion of the 65th anniversary of the Triumph of the Revolution in Santiago de Cuba, as well as the strengthening of ideological work, the political assurance of the measures approved in the National Assembly and the systematic discussion on negative trends in Cuban society.
At the meeting, Prime Minister Manuel Marrero updated the members of the Council of State on the communication actions to inform the people about the new economic measures.
