Cuban President Diaz-Canel meets with textile workers in Villa Clara

Santa Clara, Cuba, Mar 9 (Prensa Latina) Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel on Thursday started his journey as a parliamentary candidate in a discussion with workers from the Desembarco del Granma (Granma Landing) textile company in this city.

The head of State, together with seven other candidates to the National People’s Power Assembly, was interested in the production of fabrics by that company, which was inaugurated on December 2, 1979, by the historic leader of the Cuban Revolution, Fidel Castro.

During the meeting, they learned that the more than 360 factory workers, in two work shifts, currently report high productions of sewing threads for school uniforms and surgical gauze for hospitals and other healthcare centers from the Cuban Ministry of Public Health (MINSAP).

The company also markets textile products with micro, small or medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs), in addition to producing fabrics for sarcophagus covers.

The Cuban president and the parliamentary candidates nominated for the March 26 elections held other meetings on Thursday with young people from construction and public health technology companies, as well as employees from non-state firms dedicated to various productions and services.
