February 24 will be history on the Caribbean island again, as Cubans will project their present and future by voting Yes for the new Constitution of the Republic, said Rigoberto Varona, Holguín student of Stomatology.
 
The new Magna Carta, enriched with the criteria of the great majority of the population through popular consultation and recently approved in Parliament, is based on the glorious history of Cuba, its traditions, heroes and conquests, said retired Mario Augusto Fernandez, resident in Holguín.

He said that the Fundamental Law is the legacy of José Martí and of the Commander in Chief Fidel Castro Ruz, and that proclaims Socialism and Communism as the ideal organization systems to achieve full dignity in defense of the unity of the people and social justice.

To ratify the new Magna Carta, result of the popular consultation of Cubans, is a true exercise of democracy, a privilege that almost nobody has in the world, said Tatyana Galbán, director of the municipal radio station Holguín La Nueva.

Therefore, she considered that the popular referendum should be welcomed with joy and satisfaction, since from that day on the voice of each Cuban, their interests and projections will be reflected in the most important legal text of the island.

The Constitution Project that was submitted to the public referendum from August 13 to November 15, 2018, about 60 percent of the text of the first version was modified.
