Cuba Says YES, Loud and Clear: New Constitution

March 2, 2019

The 86.85% of voters who cast ballots on February 24 said YES to the new Constitution, 6,816,169 Cubans who reaffirmed their commitment to the country’s socialist project, respect for rights, and inclusion – that is the full dignity of the people.

The 86.85% of voters who cast ballots on February 24 said YES to the new Constitution, 6,816,169 Cubans who reaffirmed their commitment to the country’s socialist project, respect for rights, and inclusion – that is the full dignity of the people.

This support, undoubtedly massive, in a popular process in which every citizen acted as a constituent, acquires greater resonance in the current adverse international context, with imperialism beating the drums of war and announcing the end of all utopias.

But Cuba, with 150 years of struggle behind us, is not willing to surrender.

Unity, consciousness, legal culture, revolutionary reaffirmation … are what prevailed in the constitutional reform process, an experience that will not end with the proclamation of the new Magna Carta.

The tremendous challenge of adjusting laws to the Constitution’s essence will begin: implementing, acting and, above all, respecting the letter of the supreme law, which is sacred. Every statement is to be put into practice – that is the challenge – one that Fidel warned us of, and that has been assumed as the central axis of next steps.

With all and for the good of all, for every citizen of Cuba, regardless of their vote, will be the foundation of the country resulting from this YES, every day better, always in Revolution, with the willingness to change what must be changed, and confidence in human improvement.

Orinoco Tribune operates without any advertising. We are not funded by any governments, think tanks, or large institutions. Our operations are entirely funded by readers like you. Our most generous donors have been targeted by the US for supporting socialist causes or are financially struggling. As a result, their accounts have been frozen, cutting off a significant revenue stream and severely threatening the sustainability of Orinoco Tribune.

We urge our readers and supporters, especially those not currently doing so, to help us with small donation (such as US $5 or $10/month) via Patreon, via Paypal/Credit-Card/crypto or via paper checks. Readers and supporters like you will allow us to continue bringing you progressive and hard-hitting news from Latin America, the Global South, and the world.

Help us reach our goal of $650 in monthly Patreon donations. We are counting on you as our only source of financial support!
