Las Tunas, Cuba.- The anniversary is remembered here with the satisfaction that the province is Outstanding in national emulation, an achievement that is due, among other reasons, to the adequate cadre policy, the work in the confrontation with the COVID-19 and supporting the effort to meet the planned energy consumption.
