Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel praised the proactive attitude in the face of adversities in the municipality of Santa Clara, in the central province of Villa Clara, where, yesterday, he fulfilled a program as a deputy to the National Assembly (Parliament).

Havana, Cuba.- The head of State acknowledged on his Twitter account that businessmen and residents, whom he visited in that city, “have reacted and are ready to create material benefits and for the soul, and decided to stop sadness and blockades."

The president admitted that although at the same time others “may feel a paralyzing burden” due to the country´s economic difficulties”, he highlighted the inspiration produced by the exchanges with the directors and workers of Geominera del Centro.

This company diversifies its products and manufactures high-value and high-demand goods, such as salt and hygiene merchandise.

Díaz-Canel, together with eight Santa Clara deputies to the Parliament, also visited a maternity home that assists 15 pregnant women; the headquarters of the local development project Reluxes-Herrerías, which recovers clinical furniture and makes incursions in aluminum carpentry; and the dairy farm of Elvey de la Paz Fernández, in the Loma de Reyes farm.
