Guantanamo. – During another segment of the program broadcast by Radio Rebelde and carried nationwide, Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel highlighted the role of social workers and the assessments they conduct in communities. These efforts make it possible to gain a closer understanding of the circumstances facing vulnerable individuals and families.

“Social workers have a major responsibility in this regard,” the president stated.
Díaz-Canel also emphasized the impact of the Shared Criteria program, noting the sensitivity with which it has reached government and Party structures. He said the initiative has generated a dynamic aimed at responding to people’s concerns and addressing them with compassion.

According to the president, this process builds public confidence by ensuring that citizens’ concerns are heard and acted upon. More than a radio program, Shared Criteria has become a space for dialogue and exchange, contributing to efforts to improve the living conditions of vulnerable individuals and families.

At the beginning of the program, President Díaz-Canel expressed his satisfaction with the meeting held on October 20—the Day of Cuban Culture—with artists and creators. He underscored the role of this sector during times of transformation and its contribution to strengthening Cuba’s socialist development.
“We encountered projects, proposals and decisions—and that is truly moving,” the president said.
