SANTA CLARA.—The certainty that Cuban youth will know how to continue the work of the Revolution until its ultimate consequences, was confirmed in the this "city of Che" by José Ramón Machado Ventura, member of the Political Bureau during the course of the 9th UJC Congress Evaluation Assembly.
"We have a strong and well-prepared youth, who are in a position to give continuity to the revolutionary process, under present and future conditions. This is the commitment made by young people, and we are certain, firmly convinced, that they will carry this commitment to its ultimate consequences," stated the Cuban first vice president during his speech to the plenary.
"There are problems and difficulties everywhere, but we cannot say that this is because of the youth," commented Machado Ventura, who made a call to continue working with young people who are not demonstrating a firm commitment to fulfilling the tasks mentioned.
In another part of his speech, Machado called on UJC members and young people in general to support the election process that has been recently initiated throughout the country.
Yulián García Zayas Bazán, UJC secretary at the Valle de Yabú Mixed Cultivation Enterprise, highlighted the problems affecting the internal workings of the organization, and emphasized that young people cannot only see themselves as activists when meetings take place, an opinion that was shared by Machado Ventura, who acknowledged that we still lack creativity when it comes to planning youth meetings.
Liudmila Alamo Dueñas, first secretary of the UJC National Committee, highlighted the need to eradicate bureaucracy in the work of the organization, and to solve problems resulting from a lack of information and arguments from certain members and local committees, rather than wait for a Congress to take place.
Julio Lima Corzo, first secretary of the party in Villa Clara, commented on this issue and stated that young people need to create the debates, not with empty slogans but with solid arguments, in a way in which they can rise to the historic challenge of preserving the socialist homeland for present and future generations.
The assembly elected the delegates who will represent that area at the UJC national congress and confirmed Richeliet Calderón Acea as the first secretary of the UJC’s Municipal Committee.
