Representatives and members of Cuban civil society groups will participate in a public consultation process in order to debate the major economic proposals agreed upon during the seventh Congress of the Communist Party of Cuba (PCC) last April. The Party launched a public consultation regarding government economic proposals.
Cuba’s Granma newspaper reported on Tuesday that the four-month long consultation process will assess aspects from two key documents approved during this year's PCC Congress.
The proposals included in the two documents aim to clarify and examine the key features of the country’s socio-economic model, according to Granma. “These two documents are broad in scale and complexity, which outline the Cuba’s revolutionary process and our society’s future towards building a prosperous and sustainable socialism,” Granma wrote in it’s editorial piece on Tuesday.
The public evaluation process will likely examine proposed structural economic reforms such opening up the private sector, and easing migratory policy, giving individuals the right to purchase and sell their own homes and cars and loosening the tax and foreign investment law.
