Lazo Calls for Rational Use of Resources During the Summer

Politburo member Esteban Lazo Hernández said that organizations should offer the Cuban people, especially the youth, a summer vacation plenty of leisure, cultural and sports activities, but making better use of resources, savings and with austerity.

Lazo, who is also Vice President of the Council of State, presided over a meeting with representatives of the Young Communist League (UJC), student and grassroots organizations, as well as heads of ministries and institutions involved in the summer recreational programs.

Lazo noted the importance of prioritizing the help to those damaged by the hurricanes that hit the country last year, especially in those areas where schools and houses have not been repaired.

He said that the facilities devoted to cultural and youth activities in each municipality and people’s council, should host multiple activities. Here’s where the most important event are to take place.

Although this summer finds Cuba at a complex juncture economically speaking, he said that it coincides with the vacation of students and workers, and therefore, all the facilities, movie theaters, social clubs, TV and radio shows, should increase their offers to the public, but they should also continue to save resources and meet the electricity plan.
