The Cuban rulerMiguel Diaz-Canel He promised that 2023 will be a better year, but only if everyone works "intensely."
On Tuesday, at a meeting of the Council of Ministers, Díaz-Canel assured that next year will be "challenging", and the people must join in that work, with the example of the leaders.
"It has to be a year in which this work is characterized by there being no obstacles that it cannot overcome, by crushing bureaucracy, obstacles, immobility, waiting, and of course, the fight against corruption and illegality based on the measures that have been taken," he said.
Regarding this last aspect, the new guidelines for combating crime, corruption and social indiscipline were reported, the new official campaign in which local governments have been called to play a fundamental role.
As he has done on other occasions, the president called to promote innovation in priority sectors such as food production and electro-energy.
The Council of Ministers approved the report on the behavior of the national economy in the year that is now ending, and the protections for 2023, which will be presented to the National Assembly in December.
The affirmation that 2023 will be a better year comes just a few days after the end of a particularly difficult period, in which the Cuban people have seen their currency gradually depreciate and with it prices increasingly increase and purchasing capacity decrease.
Cuba is among the countries with the highest inflation in the world due to the inefficient management of the government, which carried out an economic reform in the midst of a crisis, and has caused the purchasing power of the average salary to be lower while foreign currencies continue to increase in value in the informal market.
"The communist regime has left Cuba's economy in ruins," said prestigious American economist Steve H. Hanke, of Johns Hopkins University, last September.
Miguel Díaz-Canel's "promises" are repeated year after year.
At the beginning of 2022 he assured Cubans that thisIt would be a period of intense work and that it would take place in very difficult conditions.
"It is a year where we have to move forward and shake off the setback that COVID-19 caused us and the situations that we have experienced in the last two years," he said in a virtual meeting with the presidents of the Municipal Assemblies of People's Power.
