After voting for the new Family Code in one of more than 1,200 polling stations set up in this province, Izquierdo described the referendum as historic.

I think that it is a decisive time, and whether the people vote Yes or No, this Code will define us as a society, but what we are convinced is that this vote is for Cuba, and let’s understand it beyond politics.

This vote is for Cuba, its people, what we all mean as a country, he stated.

We have a code that dates from the 1970s, it was revolutionary at the time, but the dynamics are different today. We have diverse families for many reasons, due to the emigration that has marked this people, the achievements the people have made.
