At times when we are so attacked, from an economic and cultural point of view, the UNEAC must remain that platform of thought where writers and artists have the responsibility to save Cuban culture and nation, the president of the organization, Marta Bonet, said in a report broadcast on national television.

They must foster unity among the entire artistic movement and march alongside our people, she added.

In the opinion of the president of Casa de las Américas, Abel Prieto, the UNEAC can be that intellectual vanguard, fidelista and revolutionary, in times where there is a satanic side of the networks that deeply damage us, influences and manipulates in informative and emotional terms.

You can do a lot to help in that battle right now, he emphasized.

According to the artist and vice-president of the UNEAC, Lesbia Vent Dumois, the institution has a fundamental objective and it is to fulfill what Fidel proposed when he found it: the most important and representative of the Cuban culture must be in it.

That’s the spirit that Fidel planted on us; he founded it for that, and this was his home, Bonet said.

It is also the message conveyed by President Miguel Diaz-Canel in each of his speeches, at the congresses where he has come along with us and on the platforms where we have had the opportunity to exchange with him.
