Cuba responds to the enemies of the Revolution at the polls

Havana, Mar 26 (Prensa Latina) The president of the National People's Power of Cuba (Parliament), Esteban Lazo, affirmed on Sunday that popular participation in the national elections sends a message of strength for the Revolution.

Faced with the efforts of the enemies to divide us, this is the answer we must give, said Lazo, who is also president of the Council of State, after casting his vote in the polling station 2, constituency 10, in the Havana municipality of Playa.

In statements to reporters, Lazo highlighted the importance of a united vote which expresses the democratic nature and fairness of the process, he said, since it eliminates the disadvantage of lesser-known candidates compared to public figures (election campaigns are not held in Cuba).

He extolled the leading participation of young people in these elections, as well as in the different stages of the Revolution over the past six decades.

In this regard, the national president of the University Students’ Federation (FEU), Julio Morejon, said that voting is an honor and a high commitment and, in his case, being a parliamentary candidate to represent the university students’ body, the municipality of Consolacion de Sur in western Pinar del Rio province, and the Cuban people in Parliament.
