Personnel changes reflect decline of Communist
youth organization
MATANZAS, Cuba - June 26 (Oscar Sánchez
Madan / www.cubanet.org) - The plenum of
the provincial committee of the Union of
Communist Youth in
Matanzas deposed the organization's first
secretary, José Anselmo Díaz,
for "errors" committed in the
management of the organization, according
to an official announcement June 22.
Several members of the youth branch of
the Party who asked to remain anonymous,
said the deposition reflect unhappiness
with the organization's performance at higher
levels. One member said the organization's
performance had "weakened" in
recent years, especially in the ideological
sphere, and also cited the failure to motivate
younger members.
The Communist Youth elected as new first
secretary 29-year-old Ernesto Li Duarte,
the candidate proposed by the national bureau.
