THE MARCH OF THE MAIN PROGRAMS executed in the municipality of Guantanamo during the first five months of the year was recorded today by Governor Emilio Matos Mosqueda, who emphasized the imperative of further strengthening the strategy in the fight against COVID-2, prioritizing attention to the mother-child program and what he called the task of tasks: to advance in the production of food commercialization, and in the organization of trade and gastronomy companies, and the link of both with the productive forms of agriculture.
Compliance with the measures to confront COVID-19 was the first aspect dealt with during the meeting, whose central report was presented by Mayor Yunis Silvente Calderín, also in the presence of the Cuban parliamentary deputy Henry Rodríguez Terrero, president of the Municipal Assembly of People's Power and the members of the Municipal Administration Council (CAM).
Matos Mosqueda said that progress in investments, particularly those related to housing, cannot be postponed. Referring to the progress of the entity in charge of them in the head municipality, and Physical Planning (whose municipal management, for its performance, deserved praise from its superior body at the national level, he called for the settlement of debts dating back years in the delivery of this precious asset to the population that needs it, and also to audit the subsidies already granted and "not always used for the intended purpose, which is illegal.
He pointed out that in the nine municipalities visited (only El Salvador remains), and "in particular in this one where almost half of the Guantanameros live", he has been given the impression of the predominance of the high - and necessary - political-moral spirit to succeed in the complex tasks that the Cuban territory further east from Havana has ahead of it, and of which "the one that can contribute most to solving the complex task that lies ahead of us, not only the province, but also the country, is territorial self-sufficiency, in which the provincial head has set itself great challenges.
The Governor cited in this regard the productive pole of the Paraguayan People's Council (the largest and least populated in the municipality), where it is encouraging to plant more than a hundred of the 240 hectares with guaranteed water in this oasis of the semi-desert coastal strip, extended between Caimanera and Maisí, the only semi-arid zone of the archipelago, and in which evapotranspiration far exceeds rainfall, "for which reason extracting fruit from the earth is a very difficult, and at the same time unextendable, task".
In that sense, added Matos Mosqueda, we must capture for the task the most suitable and determined people, capable of overcoming the adversities that Nature has given to Guantánamo, due to the drought and salinization of the valley of the same name, its main source of food.
Interesting and self-critical interventions were heard in the auditorium of the AMPP during this meeting in which those present learned, through the provincial directorate of health, that "the situation of the municipality in the face of the COVID-19 our stability in fulfilling the actions provided for in the plan designed.
One of the most recent statistical closures, reports the existence of only one suspicious case admitted to the Military Hospital, 323 travelers monitored from the primary health care and the absence of serious and critical cases.
The main measures applied are aimed at increasing the severity of the confrontation, maintaining the necessary - and not infrequently violated - social isolation and physical distance, and improving the effectiveness and quality of the investigation, with emphasis on that carried out on the travelers.
