The inauguration of a fruit and vegetable processing mini-industry is among the joys that the 70th anniversary of the assault on the Moncada and Carlos Manuel de Céspedes barracks brought to the inhabitants of the municipality of Jobabo, who deserved the venue of the celebration -held on Saturday- for their efforts and results on various fronts of the economic and social life of the province.

Jobabo, Las Tunas.- The factory is located in a part of the area occupied by the former Perú sugar mill and is called “Florita” in honor of Flora Caraballo, a prominent revolutionary and fighter of the clandestinity in the southern territory, which now has this canning processor with capacity for one ton of vegetables per hour.

Of recognized social benefit is the desalination plant located in the El 12 community, which directly benefits more than 1,700 people, also officially operating since this Saturday.

The El Mambisito childcare house has similar paths, which will provide services to around thirty working mothers and families in vulnerable situations, in the San Antonio rural community.

Before the inauguration of these works, the Provincial Act for the anniversary was held, in which the member of the Central Committee of the Cuban Communist Party (PCC) and its first secretary in Las Tunas, Manuel René Pérez Gallego, recognized the efforts of the men and women of Jobabo, heirs of a long lineage dating from the slave uprising, in 1533, to the present.

The leader stressed that despite the constant adversity that materialized in a cruel economic, financial, and commercial siege against Cuba, the Antillean people do not renounce the human realization of their social project and their dreams.

To crown such aspirations, he specified, it is necessary to solve old problems and popular demands related, for example, to transportation, waste collection, housing construction, water supply, prices, business management, and the urgent emergence of agriculture as an essential entity for food sovereignty and security.

"We are challenged to find solutions. Our noble and heroic people demonstrate their desire to continue making the Revolution," Pérez Gallego said.

Yennys López Quiñones, an art instructor, spoke on behalf of the youth and urged the new generations of Cubans to continue the path of socialism, distinguished by its humanist and decolonizing work.

At the ceremony, the card of the Young Communists League (UJC) and the Communist Party of Cuba was delivered to a group of young students and workers who are an example in their performance in different fields.

On the occasion of the celebration of the 70th Anniversary of the Moncada deed, a store was also made available to workers of the Charcoal Processing Plant for the sale of food, tools, and supplies; as well as the terrace belonging to the Perucho Figueredo Culture House was inaugurated, aimed at the recreation of citizens.
