At a slower but equally steady pace, preparations for the 150th Anniversary of the Village
At a slower but equally steady pace, preparations for the 150th anniversary of the Guantanamo Bay village are moving forward, with certain adjustments made, and the postponement of which has never been considered.
Idaliena Díaz Casamayor, Vice President of the Municipal Assembly of People's Power (AMPP), explained to the ACN that, due to the unforeseen events of COVID-19, another strategy has been drawn up that modifies, in substance but not in essence, the aspirations initially conceived to celebrate the event on the first day of December.
Conceived when the pandemic was not even in sight, the program has undergone certain changes, but it retains one of its main purposes to honor the date: the delivery of 150 homes, a hundred of which are built by the state sector, said the interviewee.
She mentioned the remodeling of the Zona de Arte Cultural Center, where the Guantánamo Pavilion is currently located, and the improvement of living conditions in the Caridad Jaca, San José and Santa Catalina nursing homes.
These facilities, dedicated to the well-being of adults over 60 years of age, underwent certain positive transformations during the current health and hygiene crossroads, and have a budget, already under execution, to renew the furniture and guarantee the maintenance of electrical and hydraulic networks.
Díaz Casamayor mentioned, as part of the communication strategy for "el 150" (whose slogan is Authentic, Loyal, Ours), the cancellation of a postal stamp, by the Cuban Postal Service and the premiere of the application SuenaG, for mobile phones, dedicated to native Guantanamo rhythms.
Among other initiatives, the restoration of the existing murals in the sixth most populated Cuban city, and the creation of others; the calls to create the delicacy and the drink in greeting to the century and a half of the Village, and the launch online of the Contest of Plastic Arts and Poetry (My City).
A new phase will also be reached in the installation of the Electronic Government, with the exit on December 1st, of the Citizen's Portal of the Municipality, in third dimension
Finally, social networks and the media will contribute to the proposal of personalities for the presentation of the 150th Anniversary Distinction, which will be awarded in the traditional solemn session of the AMPP.
This important ceremony will take place in the paradigmatic Plaza 24 de Febrero, near the Saltadero del Guaso, the founding site of the farmhouse that emerged in the first two decades of the nineteenth century, on the initiative of French and Catalan immigrants (ACN).
