Government program for the party meeting
The party meeting had been summoned last month as a prelude to the sessions of the National Assembly, with the mission of “evaluate the actions” of the Government in the face of the “immense challenges” facing the country.
However, the accumulated impact of the energy, health and economic crisis led to the program being compressed and the meeting held remotely.
Although the official communication suggests that the participants will not travel to Havana, it does not explain how an expectedly extensive agenda will be reorganized.
The call indicated that the plenary session will address “important issues of the socioeconomic and political life of the nation,” mainly the evaluation of the Government Program aimed at “correcting distortions and re-boosting the economy.”
This plan, recently published after being updated by the Executive, includes ten general objectives related to macroeconomic stabilization, the promotion of national production, the capture of external income, the recovery of the electro-energy system and the reduction of crimes and corruption.
It also contains about a hundreds of specific objectives and numerous actions and indicatorswhich have generated criticism among economists, businessmen and citizens for their formulation and scope.
The PCC is also preparing for its next IX Congress, scheduled for April 16 to 19, 2026, officially announced last July.
