 Raul
Castro Presides Over National Conference of the Cuban
Communist Party
HAVANA, Cuba, Jan 28 (acn) The
First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Cuban
Communist Party (CC-PCC), President Raul Castro, presides
over the First National Conference of this political
organization that began on Saturday morning at Havana’s
Convention Center.
The opening remarks of the
meeting were delivered by the Second Secretary
of the CC-PCC, First Vice President Jose Ramon Machado
Ventura.
Afterwards, the delegates began their work in four
commissions to analyze
the content of the draft base document of the Conference
which includes
topics such as the working methods of the Party, its
ideological work, the
policy of cadres, and the PCC’s relations with the Young
Communist League
(UJC) and grass-roots organizations, among others.
The draft base document of the Conference, whose initial
version was
published last October, was analyzed in more than 65,000
meetings by the
members of the PCC and the UJC, who expressed more than one
million
opinions, which resulted in the modification of 78 of the
draft’s 96
objectives and the addition of another five.
Earlier this month, the 811 delegates to the Conference
analyzed the
modifications recommended and on Saturday they continue
discussing the
document on on behalf of the over 800,000 PCC members.
