Guantanamo.- Banking access and the strengthening of electronic payment mechanisms emerged as central themes in the discussion process of the Government Program to correct distortions and boost the economy, which is currently being developed by labor collectives throughout the province.
The need to expand the use of digital means, guarantee connectivity, ensure monetary flow in banks, and facilitate salary payments without disruption were among the most debated points.
According to Nayasi Mendoza Sans, a member of the Provincial CTC Secretariat responsible for economic affairs, the province must hold 3,569 assemblies, 274 of them in the non-state sector. To date, 143 meetings have been held with unions representing the Public Administration, Agriculture, Commerce, Communications, Education, Culture, Health, Tourism, and Transportation sectors.
Mendoza Sans explains that the process began with preparations by the Central Committee and is progressing in two phases: training for union leaders and regular meetings in which the concrete proposals are derived from the debates and defend it in every economic, political, and social scenario of the nation, with a view to contributing, with everyone’s input in its implementation, to the transformation of the country’s situation.
Among the most frequently discussed topics are the oversight of establishments that must have the means to accept electronic payments and the requirement for micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) to deposit their income daily to strengthen bank liquidity and prevent cash shortages at ATMs and bank tellers.
Other issues include the need for improvements to the Family Doctor and Nurse Program, promoting local tourism projects that leverage our potential, reviewing the Penal Code to toughen penalties for rapists, thieves, and other criminals, and improving the quality of services.
Municipalities like Maisí, Imías, and Guantánamo stand out for the breadth and depth of their proposals.
Discussion of the document began on November 20 and is scheduled to conclude on December 30, complementing the meetings for the presentation and discussion of the 2026 Plan and Budget, planned for January 15 to March 15 of next year.
