Farmers in Contramaestre held their 13th Congress Assembly, with the presence of comrade Felix Duarte Ortega, member of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba and president of the National Association of Small Farmers, ANAP, and the First Secretary of the Party in the municipality of Contramaestre, Yoelvis Suárez Zapata.
Among the issues discussed were legal advice, production contracting, the fight against crime, the role of the boards of directors and attention to young people.
Duarte Ortega raised the need for young people from the cooperatives to study and graduate in specialties useful for agriculture.
“…if we do not achieve that young people, as part of their continuing studies, can become agricultural engineers, veterinary doctors, which we need so much to specialize the productive forces within the cooperative, we will not be consistent with what we are proposing here.”
The 34 cooperatives operating in Contramaestre were represented in the event aimed at strengthening the productive economic front in the year of the 64th anniversary of the peasant organization, whose work is aimed today at “raising the level of preparation of the Anapista leaders, to have increasingly prepared cadres in the organization, who have the ability to lead, who have the ability to lead processes…, to be cadres who manage ideas”, expressed the national leader.
In the 13th ANAP Congress Assembly in Contramaestre, the need to consolidate productions that constitute exportable items, to organize the peasant forces to face crime, to assume the commitments to deliver milk and meat as a social duty that does not wait, was emphasized.
In the meeting were selected the delegates to the provincial assembly and the pre-candidates for delegates to the congress and members of the National Committee of ANAP. The ANAP Municipal Committee and its bureau were also elected, and comrade Milsa Rosa López del Toro was ratified as head of the bureau.
At the closing ceremony, the First Secretary of the Party in the municipality of Contramaestre, Yoelvis Suárez Zapata, congratulated the delegates for the development of the assembly and expressed his conviction that the peasants of Contramaestre will prevail over the material conditions and will fulfill their commitments to the people.
