Lázaro Expósito Canto, who was head of the Communist Party of Cuba in the province of Santiago de Cuba, was released from the position he held for more than 12 years, they reported this Friday official media. In his place, José Ramón Monteagudo Ruíz was appointed, known for holding the same position in Cienfuegos and Sancti Spíritus between 2008 and 2018.
Many officials who have been at the head of the Party in Santiago, after concluding their positions have become part of the Secretariat of the Central Committee of the PCC or to perform the same function in another territory, however, Exposito only reported that “by virtue of his vast experience will be assigned other tasks. “
“Lázaro does not say goodbye, he will assume tasks in the direction of important historical projects related to the life and work of the Commander in Chief, with the history of the Revolution in the eastern provinces”, public the Sierra Maestra without giving more details.
The official note also indicates that Exposito, during the time he was secretary of the PCC in Santiago, obtained “outstanding results” and showed his “ability to unite the collective will, sensitivity and creativity to face the challenges and absolute loyalty to the revolutionary cause.” .
With a close friendship with Raúl Castro, Exposito was fired this Thursday at the headquarters of the provincial PCC by the ruler Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez, first secretary of the political organization in the country. “Lázaro is a just, dreamy, demanding man,” Diaz-Canel said of the official.
Since he arrived in the province in 2009 from Granma, replacing Misael Enamorado Dáger, Expósito Canto implemented a much more demanding work mechanism than his predecessor and was very critical of officials and workers from different sectors of the province.
It is also recognized among the people of Santiago for the trade and gastronomy network that it managed, with offers that could not always be found in other provinces. However, the authoritarianism enjoyed by the Communist Party in the country, in Santiago, with Expósito at the head, was strongly felt. The civil servant overshadowed the work of all the provincial governors, and as is customary on the island, he assigned functions that corresponded to the public administration.
