| The students will visit the historic center of the city and will hold a meeting with students from the Bauer College, among their activities. | A delegation of Cuban young people who travelled to Mexico to pay tribute to the founder of the Federation of University Students (FEU by its Spanish acronym) of the Island, Julio Antonio Mella, continues to develop an intense program of activities this Wednesday.
On the third day of their stay in Mexico, where Mella was murdered in 1929, the representatives of the FEU, the Young Communists League and the Federation of High School Students will hold a meeting with students from the Bauer College.
They will also make a tour on the historic center of the city and to finish the day, they will hold dialogues with students and teachers from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM by its Spanish acronym).
After paying tribute to the also founder of the Cuban Communist Party and visiting the pantheon of Tina Modotti, his close partner, the youths from the island exchanged with members of the Mexican Movement of Solidarity with Cuba.
In a lively dialogue, the president of the FEU, Carlos Lage, emphasized that Cuba lives a new historical moment today, characterized by a critic analysis of the situation of the country and an open battle against waste and any form of corruption.
He recalled that last November, the Cuban president, Fidel Castro, called the youth to reflect on the irreversibility of the revolutionary process and referred to the invulnerability of the Island in the military, economic and political fields.
The university leader highlighted the decisive and firm support given by the youth to these new tasks and stated that there already more than 40 thousand members of the FEU who, together with the social workers, are involved in those tasks.
Answering questions of members of the Mexican Movement of Solidarity with Cuba, members of the Cuban delegation referred to the growing feminine presence in all the spheres of the social-political and economic activities of the country.
They explained details of the formation of human capital in the Island, particularly in the University of Informatics, where almost half of the eight thousand students registered are women, they précised.
Other topics dealt with during the exchange where the so called Operation Miracle, which have returned sight to thousands Latin American patients in few moths; and the new concept of reciprocity implicit in the Bolivarian Alternative for Latin America (ALBA), promoted by Cuba and Venezuela. |
