Marrero Cruz reiterates need to strengthen government structures

Cuban Prime Minister Manuel Marrero has utilized social media platform X to outline the government’s strategic approach to navigating the nation’s current difficulties. Emphasizing the necessity of public involvement and supervisory mechanisms, Marrero articulated a vision grounded in collective effort to identify and implement solutions.

The Prime Minister conveyed a sense of determined optimism, invoking the teachings of revolutionary leaders Fidel and Raul Castro. “We will emerge from this adverse context by fighting, as #Fidel and #Raul taught us,” he stated, framing the current struggle within Cuba’s historical revolutionary narrative.

His communications also included celebratory remarks for the 15th anniversaries of Cuba’s youngest provinces, Artemisa and Mayabeque. This recognition of provincial milestones coincides with a broader governmental review process.

Marrero specifically referenced recent Extraordinary Provincial Councils conducted in Pinar del Rio and Artemisa. These assemblies served to evaluate and acknowledge each region’s potential to enhance their contribution to national economic output and improve citizen welfare.

Parallel to these provincial councils, extraordinary plenary sessions of the Communist Party’s provincial committees are being conducted across the Cuban archipelago. These high-level meetings, personally led by President and First Secretary of the Central Committee Miguel Diaz-Canel, are designed to critically assess Cuba’s position within a new historical moment.

The comprehensive agenda for these party meetings includes formulating strategic work plans leading to 2026, addressing national defense requirements, and analyzing the pressing economic and social conditions facing the Caribbean nation. This coordinated effort reflects the government’s attempt to harmonize regional capabilities with national objectives during a period of significant complexity in both domestic and international affairs.
