Havana, March 9 (Web Network)-- The First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba and President of the Republic Miguel Diaz-Canel continued this Thursday the tour of different economic and social objectives of the municipality of Santa Clara, 268 kilometers east of Havana.
The dignitary and seven other candidates for deputies to the Cuban Parliament visited the Unidad Empresarial de Base (UEB) 'Osvaldo Herrera', dedicated to the production of asphalt and construction materials.
A message from the Cuban Presidency on the social network Twitter points out that after nine years said factory could be recovered thanks to the territorial contribution of 1% for local development.
More than 500 proposals of the population were solved by the productions that come out of that UEB, which are entirely destined to the needs of the province of Villa Clara. There are 68 workers who have raised the unit and keep it producing.
The candidates' agenda continued at the 'La Minerva' Recreational Complex, which is located very close to the dam of the same name that supplies 45% of Santa Clara.
There they met with workers and peasants of that demarcation, the farthest from the capital city.
Díaz-Canel began his tour today at the textile company 'Desembarco del Granma', inaugurated on December 2, 1979 by the historic leader of the Cuban Revolution, Fidel Castro Ruz (1926-2016).
In the exchange with the workers, he learned that the more than 360 workers of the factory, in two shifts, make high productions of sewing threads for school uniforms and surgical gauze destined for hospitals and other health care centers of the Ministry of Public Health of Cuba.
The company also commercializes textile products with micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs), in addition to the production of fabrics for sarcophagus covers.
The Cuban president and the candidates for deputies nominated for the March 26 elections will continue visiting communities, student, production and service centers in the historic city until March 24.
