VILLA CLARA .- The leadership of the country can be confident, the young people will not allow the Revolution to be lost, said  Liudmila Alamo Duenas, first secretary of the UJC National Committee, speaking at the Ninth Congress Assembly chaired by Politiburo member and First Vice President of the Councils of State and Ministers, Jose Ramon Machado Ventura, and Olga Lidia Tapia, a member of the Central Committee Secretariat.

Among the most debated topics was the role of militancy in savings in the health sector and food production. Yaidel Sotuyo Leon, secretary of the base committee of the Augustus Caesar Sandino Farming Cooperative, explained how the young people are the spark plug on his estate and are inspiring the rest of the group.

ARGUMENTS ON HOW TO DEFEND OUR WORK

CAMAGUEY .- "We reaffirm, once again, complete trust in the youth, which in the midst of a fierce ideological confrontation has been able to not only withstand, but to support the revolution," said Jose Ramon Machado Ventura, member of the Politburo and First Vice President of the Councils of State and Ministers, speaking in the 9th Congress of the UJC.

The discussion by the 300 youth delegates to the meeting made an analysis of still unresolved issues such as the care and training of militants entering the professional work of the UJC.

Arguments are the extras to defend the revolutionary, said Yoandri Ruiz Villalon, delegate from Santa Cruz del Sur, giving the example of his village, which after being hit hard by Hurricane Paloma, is resurfacing more beautiful and functional.

Jorge Enrique Sutil Sarabia was ratified as the first secretary of the organization in the province.
