For Committees for the Defense of the Revolution (CDR by its acronym in Spanish), much more similar to the neighborhoods and rural communities where they are located, the delegates participating in the assembly of this province as part of the organic process towards the tenth congress of the largest mass organization in Cuba, pronounced themselves. At the meeting, they ratified Edysander Sánchez Concepción as their provincial coordinator.
Las Tunas, Cuba.- The only thing that cannot be done is to do nothing. At the zone level it is necessary, from the creativity and conditions of each site, to establish, for example, surveillance systems that allow the preservation of private and collective goods, reflected Gerardo Hernández Nordelo, national coordinator of the CDR. "What objectives do we have to take care of? How should we take care of them? How to do it?", he suggested, would be some of the questions that would guide the establishment of those revolutionary popular surveillance strategies more suitable for the contemporaneity of the country.
During the meeting, also presided over by the member of the Party's Central Committee and its first secretary here, Manuel Rene Perez Gallego, the representatives of the more than six thousand 500 CDRs existing in Las Tunas agreed on the need to achieve higher indicators in the collection of the contribution as a sign of the self-financing of the organization. Likewise, there was consensus on the need to continue promoting the movement of voluntary blood donors through the incorporation of more young people.
The movement generated as a result of the X Congress allowed the renewal of more than 10 thousand leaders of the Neighborhood Committees, something that, they estimated, would improve the required permanent link with the prioritized CDR zones; and will put them in better conditions to develop, creatively and dynamically, work with the young adolescents incorporating them to the activities of the organization.
Because of the severe economic situation of the country, especially in food production and the availability of electricity, the Tenth Provincial Assembly Congress of the CDRs in this province described crucial the promotion of backyards and plots of land through the Cultiva tu Pedacito initiative (Grow Your Little Plot); simultaneously promoting the rational use of electricity in each neighborhood.
The Cederistas in the Balcony of the Cuban East agreed to continue strengthening their communication policy both in terms of denouncing the effects of the U.S. economic blockade on our country and in strengthening their relations with neighborhood organizations in the world. At the same time, they affirmed, they will continue to pay as much attention as possible to the "Mirando al mar" detachments and the work of their structures in the coastal towns of the territory, increasing the training of their members together with the Border Guard Troops.
Finally, they expressed their determination to strengthen and systematize the preventive work in coordination with other community actors to effectively face social indiscipline, legalities, crime, and political and ideological subversion orchestrated against Cuba.
