Mayabeque, Cuba_ The legacy of Fidel Castro Ruz, historical leader of the Cuban Revolution, is present this March 11 when the Cuban people elect the delegates to the Provincial Assemblies of the People's Power and Deputies to the Parliament. 

For José Ignacio La O Hernández, the first elector to exercise the suffrage in the electoral school No.1 of the 19th district in Güines, paying tribute to the Commander in Chief is an honor.

It is an honor to pay tribute to one of Fidel's dreams. He dreamed of a true democracy for our country and exercising the right to vote is to say yes to all the delegates and deputies who are the representatives of the people in the provinces and the nation, La O Hernández commented.

Before the triumph of the Revolution the vote was obligatory, today you can vote for one, several or all, it is an individual decision. Today the ballot boxes are guarded by the pioneers and in the last decade of the 50’s they were guarded by soldiers, military, sailors, he added.

The pooling station was well organized and members of the mass and social organizations of our neighborhood were present. It is a pride for the Cuban people to exercise this right in a convulsive world context, he added.
