The holding of such events is an international practice that Cuba has re-initiated, as a reflection of the strengthening of institutionality and the importance of the courts to the construction of the country’s economic, political, and social project.

In Cuba, Díaz-Canel noted, “The administration of justice is conceived as a public service, vital to maintaining legality, order, citizens security, and in promoting the effective exercise of rights and fulfillment of duties,” thus the necessity of their acting in an ethical, diligent manner, committed to the values of our society, he added.

Despite obtaining superior results across the board, there are still fissures, he acknowledged, related to unjustified delays, errors, and negligence in the holding of trials, as well as improper behavior and violations of ethics.

The fundamental work of 2019 will be oriented toward correcting these deviations and continuing to promote the application of science and new technologies in this arena.

  1. Exhorto a los distinguidos a revisar lo que sucede en Granma, específicamente en Manzanillo, donde la ciudadana Virtudes, que vive en la calle Narciso López, esquina Villuendas, se ha adueñado por la fuerza del techo de su vivienda, vivienda que fue contruida en lo que era una bodega, el techo siempre perteneció a los vecinos de arriba (aquirida la propiedad cuando era bodega), consta en la propiedad de estos últimos, sin embargo la ciudadana con la ayuda de elementos de vivienda y de justicia, aparece con otra propiedad (todo el mundo sabe que ella se mudó por una permuta y el techo tenía dueño), algo inaudito y muy frecuente en dicho municipio, ojalá acaben de parar con esa farsa, y porfa publiquenme que en el Granma me censuraron este mismo comentario.
