The revolution will not find a solution in the restoration of capitalism either. That would only lead to the implementation of aggressive measures that would harm the sections of the population with fewer resources and destroy the unity and confidence of the majority of citizens around the Revolution and the Party, he noted.

In Cuba, no one will be homeless, he added in front of before more than 1,000 people including delegates and guests.

Given its importance, the event approved to initiate a broad and democratic discussion on these documents with all members of the Party, the Youth Communist Union (UJC), representatives of mass organizations and several sectors of society, he said.
