In statements to the press,

the president highlighted the diversity and representativeness of the candidacy that was presented to Parliament.

"In this candidacy, all sectors are also highly represented and the majority are women, that is important because it allows us to have a better representation of the social fabric of the country," he said.

Likewise, the Cuban president called for the participation and debate of the proposals that have been generated in the tours he has made throughout the national territory.

"Now we are summoned to know the opinions resulting from what we have discussed... I have a lot of confidence in the Cuban people," he said.

The president also referred

to the challenges facing the country in the economic and social sphere, and reiterated his rejection of any external interference that seeks to undermine the sovereignty and independence of Cuba.

“Some may put the economic situation first, but most people know that despite the difficult economic situation it is working together, if we were once again a colony of the United States, the problems would only increase, if everything were privatized, What was the future of young people?" he questioned.

Finally, the Cuban president pointed out that his government's priorities are to overcome the economic crisis, promote the legislative exercise and give continuity to the demands of the population.

"There is no solution for everyone but some do have a solution," he concluded.

Today is a day of joy and I am sure that we will have another victory.
