As a person of Camagüey and as Cuban, we feel a deep
First Secretary of the Communist Party of Cuba .

in Camagüey talks about Almeida: pain for the loss of the lover Major of the Revolution Juan Almeida Bosque, for his example, for his work… Luck of not having a Revolution that has among its heroes to men like Almeida, alone for his personal value, his delivery, his anger, but because everything combines in him to that hero of strong character, of hurtle and of courage, with an exquisite human sensibility, of worrying about the minima details of a task, of worrying about a combatant or for a boy that saw in the street that assisted, and of an extraordinary culture, composer, writer… if today we can know part of that revolutionary fight is thanks to the books that has bequeathed us and if today we feel more love for the Cuban culture is thanks to the work that he has left us, from a political song until the rescue of the they are, of the cubany, of the autochthonous thing.

And I want, also, to express that Almeida felt a special devotion for Camagüey, for this great county, here he developed part of its revolutionary task, when one speaks in the note of press of the Political Desk of the PCC, of the complex and big tasks that it developed along all its life, Camagüey has a piece, here was designated by the Central Committee to the front of the Operation Mambí; as delegate of the Political Desk, in the decades of 60 70, to the front of almost 50 thousand men that came to support Camagüey, to transform the agriculture of Camagüey, to build in Camagüey, where combined the forces of the Juvenile Column of the Centennial with patriots from all Cuba that were in the cane cut, in the cane seed, in the constructions, and I believe that that helped, also to that with his example and his address different programs were impelled in the county that today is a reality, from the example of a hospital like the psychiatric one, of the cattle raising, of the agriculture cane, of the industry of the construction and, on all the things, here he taught us to as working with the town.

In a moment of a conversation with him, in a journey for the county, in which were present, the Commandant we ended up Almeida to say that thanks to that opportunity that gave him the partner Fidel of being here, it could become political leader, in the sense of its linking with the masses, in the work of the PCC; as he said, here he completed that first mission that later he helped him a lot to assume that of Delegate of the Political Desk in the great county of East, but I want to emphasize that he felt a special devotion for Camagüey and that he felt very happy, very cheerful when the county advanced, as well as he was severe and demanding before some difficulty when didn't leave well the things.

I believe that we have to keep, with a lot of pride, the people of Camagüey, the reiterated presence of Almeida in the last years, almost in two occasions per year. Let us remember like he supported the proposal of Camagüey for the national act for July of 2007, 26 starting from recognizing the work of the town, as he gave us encouragement and as well as he demanded us to reach that headquarters, the happy thing that he felt in that act, accompanying Raúl, to other Commandants of the Revolution, because he was also part of his work and we should also remember, in the last times, have grieved for one year, his journey for the county, after the step of the hurricanes, the tasks that he left us, the wide journey that made for the city of Camagüey, for Santa Lucía's tourist pole, and the tasks that he left us in the reconstruction of the county. We maintained it informed of this execution.

I believe that it is a sincere homage the strict execution of the duty and of maintaining to the county with revolutionary spirit in the construction of the Socialism, the best homage that we can make to his life, to his example and his work. (Pedro Paneque Ruiz)

Camagüey still drags last year damages of the hurricanes of the and the economic crisis World cup has left its own mark in this program, in particular for the changes of prices and the rise in the price of matters cousins and inputs.

It still lacks the good employment of the wallet of business, an appropriate reconciliation between consumers and producers and to solve statistical incoherences among the provincial and national organisms to position.
