Las
Tunas,
(Main

Tiempo21).
– A
total of
113
women
have
been
chosen
in Las
Tunas as
candidates
to
delegates
of the
municipal
assemblies
of the
People’s
Power
(government),
as a
sample
of their
role in
the
Cuban
society.
This is
another
example
of the
growing
recognition
to the
woman's
participation
in the
tasks of
the
Cuban
Revolution,
because
they
also
constitutes
almost
half of
the
labor
force in
the
civil
state
sector
and the
third
two
parts of
the
technicians
and
professionals
in the
country.
A wire
from the
Cuban
News
Agency,
that
quotes
declarations
by Amado
Batista
Cruz,
president
of the
Electoral
Commission
in Las
Tunas
province,
asserts
that in
the
territory
the
nomination
of more
women is
one of
the most
significant
aspects
in
meetings
to
choose
the
candidates
to
delegates
to the
municipal
governments.
According
to
Batista
Cruz,
another
positive
indicator
is that,
as
average,
the
attendance
of the
voters
to the
nomination
meetings
surpasses
85
percent
in the
territory.
He also
added
that the
previous
stages
to the
elections
have
been
fulfilled
as they
have
been
established
in the
national
chronogram
for
these
partial
elections
that
will be
held in
the
whole
Island
next
April
25.
In Las
Tunas
province,
690
kilometers
to the
east of
Havana,
the
places
for 1,
373
electoral
schools
were
already
selected
and its
eight
municipalities
culminated
the
verification
of the
voters’
lists.
