The national directorate of the Committees for the Defense of the Revolution selected the province of Granma as National Vanguard of the organization, given broad and effective popular mobilizations across all its municipalities.
According to Orestes Llanes Mestre, CDR national deputy coordinator, other key achievements of the province include the widespread presence of revolutionary promotional materials in neighborhoods; a commitment to combating crime, illegalities and social indiscipline; and outstanding contributions to the homeland and voluntary blood donations.
During a press conference held August 30, which saw the participation of Carlos Rafael Miranda, CDR general coordinator, Llanes Mestre highlighted similar results in the provinces of Cienfuegos, Pinar del Río, and Las Tunas.
In regards to capital cities, he likewise emphasized efforts by CDRs in Pinar del Río, Bayamo and Guantánamo, to mobilize the population around neighborhood tasks.
