Murillo also recognized the Magna Carta, on which more than 8,600,000 Cubans are called to pronounce on different forms of property.

Although the new constitution allow different types of properties, it ratifies that the main one is still the social one of all the people, expressed in the business system and the budgeted structures that fulfill government functions, he stressed.
