July 26th: The Cuban People will Mark National Rebelliousness Day in
Eastern Holguin
HAVANA, Cuba, July 21 (acn) The central rally to mark National
Rebelliousness Day to be held next July 26 in eastern Holguin province
will be attended by 200, 000 citizens in representation of the Cuban
people.
In recent statements to the press, the first secretary of Cuba´s
Communist Party in the eastern territory, Jorge Cuevas Ramos, said that
the ceremony will take place at 7 am at the Major General Calixto Garcia
Iñiguez Plaza.
The huge demonstration will celebrate its designation for the third time
as main venue of July 26 commemorations, a condition granted every year
by the Political Bureau of Cuba´s Communist Party to the Cuban territory
with outstanding social and economic achievements. Holguin won the venue
in 1979 and later in 1996.
Holguin, with over one million inhabitants was granted the condition of
venue of this year´s celebrations particularly due to the people´s
efforts and results in the recovery from the damage inflicted by
hurricane Ike, particularly in the housing sector.
Still under the difficult circumstances imposed by the impact of the
hurricane in September 2008, which devastated nearly all local
plantations and thousands of houses and economic and social facilities,
the people in Holguin multiplied their efforts in main development
programs and boosted recovery actions.
The designation also recognized the important contribution to the
country´s economy by three nickel-processing plants in that territory,
as well as the good performance of the local tourist center.
A significant achievement by the Holguin health care center was the
lowering of the infant mortality rate to only 3,5 per every 1,000 live
births. Other factors that have improved the people´s health in the
province include the operation of 37 pregnant mother assistance homes,
genetics services, intensive care units in pediatric and neonatal
services, as well as the work of doctors and nurses who guarantee
primary health care.
