Cuba won, so that the most positioned news event in the country’s media and in the social networks of newspapers, radio stations and television channels might be summarized. Undoubtedly, the result of the elections held on March 26 to elect the 470 deputies to the National Assembly of People’s Power was the news that occupied the spaces in this last week.
On the followingnoon of March 30, the president of the National Electoral Council Alina Balseiro Gutierrez reported the final results of the process in Cuba, following exhaustively analyzing the numbers issued by each province and the special municipality of Isla de la Juventud and making them compatible, as established by the Electoral Law.
The count showed that 75.87 of those registered in the electoral roll went to the polls, while all the deputies were elected with more than 61 percent of the valid votes cast in Cuba during the national elections.
A look at what happened in the province of Pinar del Río shows that here 80.93 percent of those registered attended the democratic exercise and the majority supported the proposed candidacy.
Likewise, the number of canceled and blank ballots might be a reflection of latent disagreements with our social system, an issue that currently occupies the highest leadership of the country, which has the imprint of working to raise the level of satisfaction of the people.
Now, following the figures reached, the challenge is to ensure that the problems, concerns, complaints and claims of the population have space in parliamentary debates.
The exchanges between the 27 deputies from Pinar del Río and the people, showed to a great extent how people live in localities, what are the needs and aspirations postponed over time that demand attention and response, and therein lies the challenge of those who will assume positions in the X Legislature of the National Assembly of Popular Power.
You have to observe better, put yourself in the place of others, learn to listen and transmit to find solutions, because those who went to the polls on Sunday and voted for their deputies want to see these men and women intervening in Parliament sessions to share their problems, especially those to be resolved or with a delayed solution.

Not letting the exchange with the voters die, preventing the proposals from sleeping in drawers, text notes from a cell phone or an agenda, are emergencies of these troubled times, of deficiencies and economic disagreements.
The people of Pinar del Río are noble, hard-working and revolutionary and they demonstrated it at the polls last Sunday. It is now up to the elected deputies, as endorsed by the Constitution of the Republic in its article 84, to carry out their work to benefit the interests of the people, maintain contact with their constituents, listen to their proposals, suggestions and criticisms, and explain the policy of the State and be accountable for the fulfillment of its functions.
Only in this way will it be possible to guarantee that Cuba does not lose, which it achieved at the polls this Sunday the 26th.
