The best response to the Helms-Burton is for everyone to do their part, stated Esteban Lazo Hernández, president of the National Assembly of People’s Power, to conclude debate on the new draft Electoral Law among deputies from the provinces of La Habana, Mayabeque and Matanzas, as well as the Isle of Youth special municipality.

Lazo, also a Party Political Bureau member, made this comment during the final minutes of a meeting on various topics to be discussed before and during the upcoming Third Period of Ordinary Sessions of the National Assembly’s Ninth Legislature, July 13-14.

The war the U.S. is waging against us is meant to drown us economically, Lazo stated, thus we must respond with initiatives, calling for the revival of approaches taken during the difficult years of the 1990s. He also reiterated the need to change the widespread mentality of importing.
Plenary sessions of the National Assembly will be held, and standing committees will meet to discuss the specific topics for which they are responsible. 

An analysis of the draft Electoral Law is planned, while proposed laws addressing national symbols and fishing will also be discussed.

Lazo concluded his remarks saying, “To the fight, onward to victory.”
