Havana, October 22 (RHC)-- Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel presided over the Extraordinary Plenary Session of the National Committee of the Union of Young Communists (UJC) held at the headquarters of the Communist Party of Cuba in Havana on Saturday.

"We continue to face very difficult challenges, in which the survival of the Cuban Revolution is at stake and which will not be possible to face without the presence of young people," the president said during the meeting.

"We call on the Young Communist League and student organizations to act with a sense of organization, as communist militancy, knocking on the doors of the administrations and the Party to demand attention and answers, with respect and adherence to the rules," he said.

The UJC has to be all the time pulsating moods, dissatisfactions, complaints; and act quickly to reverse them, with the only formula that works in a society like ours: active and real participation. Only from participation is commitment born".

"I am a convinced, a militant of Sí se puede, popularized by Army General Raúl Castro Ruz, current leader of the Revolution, in some of the most critical years in the history of the Revolution."

Diaz-Canel warned that "no young person should feel that everything is already done in the Revolution, it would be a big mistake. Each generation has an epic on which to raise a heroic deed and recent times, the hard circumstances surrounding us, have shown it".

A summary of the systematic debates at the base, reflections and discussions among young people, the accurate and precise leadership of the Communist Party of Cuba and a group of proposals built collectively were presented.

The Plenary approved the strategy to strengthen the integral role of youth for the present and future of the country, after its broad discussion throughout the country, and which is necessary to move our militancy and push all young people.

The meeting was also attended by the Secretary of Organization of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba, Roberto Morales, and the general secretary of the youth organization, Aylin Alvarez
