The focus of evaluation assemblies that will begin in November, at the municipal and district levels, is to analyze, amongst all and getting to the roots, the work of the Communist Party of Cuba (CCP) in strengthening direct links with the people, as well as the impact of its political/ideological work and in the nation’s economic development.
This process, which began last May, is a continuation of the 8th Congress, of the fundamental pillars that were established for the transformation of Party work and the democratization in its methods; revitalizing the role of the membership and integration with other bodies and organizations, in order to analyze realities in line with the particularities of each territory, emphasized César Joel Suárez Pellé, deputy chief of the Central Committee’s Ideological Department.
The discussion of these directives, along with the renewal or ratification of those holding leadership positions, will take place in the municipal and district committees between November and December this year, and in provincial bodies between January and February of 2022, reported Emilia Acuña Lemes, deputy chief of the Central Committee’s Department of Organization and Cadres.
She emphasized that, although these assemblies will be conducted with a limited number of participants, given COVID-19 preventative measures in effect, the entire membership will be represented by general secretaries of locals, candidacy commissions, and current members of committees at the different levels, along with other selected militants.
These assemblies, she said, represent an opportunity to debate and review what has been done and what has not been done, in "an analysis that reflects the people, their problems and concerns, what is happening in our society," providing concrete continuity to the Congress.
