At a meeting with national and international journalists, at the exit of the polling station 1 in this central Cuban city, the head of State pointed out that it is very important for the nation that young people continue to train and create spaces in their companies in the fields of technology and innovation.

“We must give them the chance to control and provide feedback on the processes that we can do, while continuing to train, to do postgraduate, master’s and doctoral degrees,” Diaz-Canel, who is also first secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba (PCC), added.

“The managers of companies and institutions of all kinds, the first thing they have to take into account is who these recent graduates are, what opportunity they are giving them, and whenever I arrive at a workplace, I ask the managers if they are letting young people propose their initiatives and if they give them the chance to develop,” Diaz-Canel pointed out.

“We are planning for the country’s development system to be driven by a government management system based on science and innovation, which is why transmission pulleys are needed and in each place these pulleys are the scientific potential,” he stressed.

He pointed out that it is necessary to transform the processes in public administration, and the structure must have master’s degrees and doctors to revitalize these innovations.

“I am one of those convinced that innovation is the premise of an important component for the full development of the country,” he stated.

At the end, he said that the parliamentary candidacies for the National Assembly throughout the country are a video of our society, because there are young and more experienced people, represented in all sectors, and that gives them strength so that the discussion agenda of the National Assembly is the discussion agenda of the population.
