The day before, a world day began that will take place until January 28 of next year, on the occasion of the 170th anniversary of the birth of the Apostle of the Independence of this Caribbean nation.
In recent days, the central act to commemorate the event took place at the José Martí Memorial, in this capital, as well as the March of the Torches that each year the people carry out from the hill of the University of Havana in remembrance of the patriot.
According to the organizers, the objective of the program of activities will be the dissemination of the value and meaning of Martí’s ideology in the history of Cuba, as a way of understanding resistance and national identity, in addition to the genesis and profoundly humanistic principles of the Revolution. .
Also during the week, the highest authorities, headed by President Miguel Díaz-Canel, visited the western province of Pinar del Río, to establish a direct dialogue with citizens and ensure compliance with development strategies in the territory.
The representatives of the Government insisted on popular participation as a way to promote the programs of this nation, as well as the need to work from science and innovation with strategies adjusted to the realities of the places.
In addition, the progress of the legal process after the riots of July 11, 2021, which, according to authorities of the judicial system and relatives of the accused, respected the guarantees of the detainees and the laws of the country, made headlines during the week.
According to a local television report, among the most recurrent crimes of that date were contempt, attack, damage and public disorder.
The criminal investigation led to the opening of files, a process that the Attorney General’s Office controlled from the beginning to provide and gather all the necessary evidence before being presented to the court, the source stressed.
The Cuban authorities noted that all the accused attended the trial with legal representation, hired by them or ex officio.
Defense attorneys explained to the news that they acted without pressure, with the support of the judicial system, they had access at all times to the detainee and to the evidence collected during the investigation to establish a strategy in court.
Meanwhile, relatives of some defendants ratified the transparency and legality of the criminal process.
The Government of Cuba and experts presented evidence that the disturbances were the result of a plan designed by the United States to cause destabilization at a time when the country was facing a complex situation due to the Covid-19 pandemic and the tightening of the blockade imposed by Washington. .
