It's nice to feel the heartbeat of my avenue, the vibes of the neighborhood, the strength of my fellow countrywomen. You forget everything. You only see the lipstick and the beautiful outfits on the rows of chairs from where they applauded and sang. A lot of feminine joy for Constituency 123, located in the demarcation of the Popular Council 18, of this capital city of Open Doors.
Las Tunas, Cuba.- Rejoicing and satisfaction for sharing with the General Secretary of the Federation of Cuban Women (FMC by its acronym in Spanish) and member of the Political Bureau, Teresa Amarelle Boué, who fraternized without frills in the charms of a simple night of homage. An embrace of invincible creators. They are warriors, no matter whether the trench is at home or in the most sophisticated center of science.
This last Tuesday, a few hours after the event that took place in the Major General Vicente García Revolution Plaza, where women from Las Tunas continued the party for the 63rd anniversary of the organization, by winning the national emulation and accrediting the central activities for the date. A constant commitment does not count if the challenges are greater.
On the wide Avenida Primero de Enero, they shared that affection with loud voices that united the 580 women members of the nine delegations of Blocks 68 and 68 A and B, who deserved this meeting in the capital city. They empower their triumphs and the results of their daily work, as Yudelkys González, General Secretary of the FMC in the municipality of Las Tunas, emphasized in her words.
Valid exchange took the form of the experiences of the young engineer Dianelys Tejeda Salinas with the preventive actions carried out by the Federation in the communities, to avoid greater evils and not to allow, for example, the youth to twist their paths. On the other hand, it was reaffirmation and dedication to the homeland and its crucial moments in the intervention of Yanet Santana, a graduate in nursing and coordinator of zone 155 of the CDR. No one has to come and tell us what we have to do, she stressed.
Vilma, with her eternal example, was there in this momentum of continuity, summarized in the new members' cards that the adolescents Elen González, Iliana Betancourt, Irene Silva, and Paulina Medina received from the hands of the provincial and municipal secretaries, Yuleinys Osorio and Yudelkys González, respectively.
Also amidst songs of Cuban endearment, Manuel Pérez Gallego, first secretary of the Party in Las Tunas, handed over the membership card that distinguishes Yanet Santana and Ibelis Olano as militants of the political organization.
And as the night fell silent with the hours, and the smell of broth came in the pleasant breeze that moved the Cuban flags with rhythms of victory, Teresa Amarelle embraced her outstanding federates, together with Julio César García, an official of the Central Committee.
With roses in their hands and fireflies of faith were Rosa Tamayo Naranjo, the delegate of the winning bloc; Doris Gómez, Alina Acanda, Dianelys Tejeda, and Isabel Pérez. The ovation was loud. The Secretary General of the country brought together the forces of that enormous will to be victorious and without impossibilities. The certificate of the XI Community Congress of the FMC reached the hearts of the neighbors and families of the district. Adisleidys González did not hide her pride when she received it.
They talked and met the secretaries from other provinces, the members of the National Secretariat. They told anecdotes amidst laughter and "things" of Lumberjacks and champions. Feminine grace is at the ready. Revolution is the word, the mission, and infinite love. The close, communicative, intimate dialogue... and that spontaneous aura of being Cuban, a fist of "come on and let's go".
The walk along the already prestigious avenue shone like gold. Several tables ratified that the popular initiative is infinite... artisanship of household utensils, sweets, salads, and light food. The hands of culinary wizards, tailors, innovators... in short, the soul and body of the abracadabra: women now federated in the climax of empowerment.
It was a Tuesday of its light, on the eve of the big day. This 23rd of August, brought the usual Marianas, ready and stronger. A day that left traces in a Popular Council that grows with its heroines, creative, sacrificed, with no time to rest when the bell of freedom rings and there is a mission on the horse.
A beautiful night of Cuban women, perpetual victors without fear or impossibilities. I am happy to say this is my neighborhood and my countrywoman, my people. Impossible defeated.
