When participating in the closing of the First National Conference of the Trade Union of Cultural Workers, he added that we must defend cultural development and artistic creation devoid of banalities and vulgarities.

Díaz-Canel said that there are people who are doing everything possible to remove the State from the field of culture, especially those who oppose the Revolution, he warned.

He added that there is a tendency that, instead of talking about enjoyment and appreciation of the arts, they want it to become a commodity, putting personal self-enrichment first, leaving aside the quality and cultural policy of the Revolution.

Among all we must defend the Cuban

Díaz-Canel warned about the dangers of the standardization of culture through the fracturing of the historical memory of peoples, the denial of their history and identity, with a clear alienating content.

At the close of the Conference of the Trade Union of Cultural Workers that concluded in Havana, the president said that among all we have to promote an emancipatory platform to defend the Cuban culture and the cultural policy of the Revolution.

He recalled the systematic meetings of Commander in Chief Fidel Castro with artists and intellectuals, and expressions such as the literacy campaign, artistic education system, events and the development of the arts.

In the First National Conference of the Trade Union of Workers of Culture, Nereyda López Labrada was confirmed as secretary general
