Tablada explained on Facebook that this sector arises and develops under the protection of the policies of the Cuban Revolution that citizens discussed and approved , “which adopted economic guidelines and a socialist development model with the participation of new actors”.

She added, in order to give space to the private sector without renouncing to the primacy of the public and state sphere, the Constitution of the Republic was modified.

She specified that US is a major obstacle for both types of businesses and stressed that both groups suffer the repercussions of the measures taken by the US against Cuba, the permanence of the economic, commercial and financial blockade and the inclusion of Cuba in the unilateral list of countries sponsoring terrorism.

The fact that they come to organize seminars and pretend that they are the godfathers of changes that they have sabotaged shows once again the deceitful, interfering and dishonest nature of the US government,” Tablada said.
