Called upon to become a basic pillar of the economy, Cuban science celebrated its day with a renewed commitment to contributing more to the wellbeing of society and developing full technological sovereignty.
Comandante en Jefe Fidel Castro Ruz, selected January 15 for this celebration, because on that date in 1960, during a speech he gave at the 20th anniversary of the Speleological Society of Cuba (SEC), held in the auditorium of the Royal Society of Medical, Physical, and Natural Sciences in Havana, he said, “The future of our Homeland must necessarily be a future of men of science, of men of thought, because this is precisely what we are cultivating most; what we are seeding most are opportunities for intelligence.”Amidst activities commemorating the event, Granma International shares the opinions of several members of Cuba’s scientific community, explaining why workers in the sector, in their majority, will vote to approve the new Constitution, in the referendum set for February 24.
