Havana, Feb 28 (RHC) Raúl Alejandro Palmero, candidate for deputy to Cuba's National Assembly of People's Power (Parliament), considered that the Legislative is an institution that has nothing to do with the elite and is formed by the people.

For the young man, whose name will be among those who will appear on the ballot in the municipality of Arroyo Naranjo, in Havana, the simple fact of being part of the nominees is a challenge and implies a lot of responsibility.

The 28-year-old jurist told Prensa Latina news agency that the meetings they are currently holding with the people are key to understanding the interior of the municipality, its strengths, idiosyncrasy, culture, and

He added that the nominees owe it to the population that elects them, then controls their performance and has all the power to revoke their mandate if they do not fulfill their functions.

His candidacy is part of the 20 percent of young people nominated, and he thinks this represents a great strength for the country because they are in the centers of study and work, in the communities, they suffer day by day the problems of the nation, which will provide a more inclusive look when adopting policies.

He added that the fact that the current list of young candidates exceeds by 6.8 percentage points the number of the 9th Legislature is a clear message about the need for the new generations to assume the vanguard.

In his opinion, as a jurist, young man, and deputy, there are several challenges for this new Legislature; among them, is to better communicate the work of the Assembly, not only what happens in the plenary, but also the arduous debates that take place in the working committees.

As a challenge, he underscored the approval and implementation of the Law on Social Communication and the Law on Companies, the latter being fundamental to be able to organize the different economic actors in the Caribbean nation.

He also detailed a need to update the country's legislation in labor, civil and educational matters.

On March 26, the Cuban people are summoned to go to the polls, which will constitute a new day of democracy. (Source: Prensa Latina)
