Havana, Cuba.- Cuban Miguel Diaz-Canel on Tuesday called to promote housing to solve one of the problems that most dissatisfaction causes among the population: the deterioration of houses.

The housing policy is one of the main programs that we have to take as a government in order to reverse the situation that has affected us for years, Diaz-Canel said at Havana’s Convention Center.

Speakign to lawmakers from the People’s Power National Assembly, the head of State called to formulate solutions in the shortest time possible to prevent the deterioration of the housing fund in Cuba.

It is necessary to design and build houses with quality to guarantee the good condition of the housing fund and its durability, he stressed.

In the opinion of Diaz-Canel, it is important to obtain daily results in order to overcome speed and quality each year to previous periods, he added at a meeting prior to the second ordinary session of the 9th Legislature of the People’s Power National Assembly.

He also recalled that many people have been affected by hurricanes and many are in shelters, a reality that he has noted in his travels to almost all provinces of the country since he came to office in April 19.

No one will be excluded, said the president, who ratified the solidarity and humanistic vocation of the Cuban Revolution.

At another point in his speech, he called to fight illegalities and corruption in offices dedicated to housing procedures and centers that sell construction materials.

In addition, he stressed as a fundamental initiative to ‘promote and organize the production of construction materials.’

Prior to his speech, several lawmakers expressed their opinions after Minister of Construction Rene Mesa read a report on the state of Cuba’s housing fund.
