Havana, March 25 (RHC)-- The National Exercise to Prevent and Confront Crime, Corruption, Illegalities, and Social Indiscipline began on Monday with a meeting led by the First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba (CCPCC) and President of the Republic, Miguel Díaz-Canel.
At the meeting, the president described this quarterly initiative, which follows up on the one held last December, as a very important event. “This ratifies the commitment to continue advancing in the direct fight against social indiscipline, illegality, and crime, as well as the ordering of relations between the state and non-state sectors,” Díaz-Canel stated.
He noted that acts of violence, aggression, and economic damage must be confronted with the utmost severity, the Presidency reported on its website. The Cuban president also emphasized the need to hold exemplary trials, primarily for crimes that have occurred in institutions, such as the theft of electrical cables from irrigation machines; the stoning of stores and buses; as well as cases of corruption.
The exercise, which will run until March 29th, has the main objective of “increasing the actions of state and government bodies, the Ministry of the Interior (Minint), political, social, and mass organizations, and popular control in preventing and confronting these phenomena that affect security and internal order.”
The main actions to be carried out include the completion of the PCC's verification process of the contractual relationships between state-owned economic actors and non-state forms of management.
Also planned are the implementation of drug prevention and counter-narcotics tasks; the intensification of the work of the inspection bodies to combat abusive and speculative prices; and the conduct of inspections of the urban development network and the investment process, especially in photovoltaic solar parks.
The meeting, held via videoconference at the CCPCC headquarters, was also attended by the PCC's Organization Secretary, Roberto Morales Ojeda, and the Brigadier General and Secretary of the Council of Ministers, José Amado Ricardo, both members of the PCC's Political Bureau.
Also in attendance were leaders of state bodies and mass organizations, representatives of Minint institutions, and Central State Administration agencies.
