stipulates that no political party (including the Communist Party) can nominate candidates in elections to state offices, but why is the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba still nominated people to be elected by the National Assembly to key State positions; (2) Practicing and widely spreading core political ideas in socialist construction, especially ideas with Cuban identity and Cuban people - such as Marti and Fidel ideas; (3) Increase both the quantity and quality of party members. In recent years, the average admission of about 40,000 party members each year is a pretty positive increase in quantity. However, the quality of party members is still somewhat lenient, not guaranteed, and the number of elderly party members is quite large (42.6% of party members are over 55 years old) (Castro, 2021a); (4) Use and promote the effectiveness of activities of political-social-professional organizations, especially the Committee for the Protection of the Revolution and the Communist Youth Union of Cuba; (5) Leadership and strict management of media. The 8th Congress recognizes the role of the media (especially the internet) as a “double-edged sword”: it can also be a tool for widely, quickly, promptly, and effectively transmitting guidelines and policies, the Party and State's plan to the people, can also be an effective tool for hostile forces to use propaganda against Cuba; and (6) Build and develop the great unity of the people around the Cuban Party and State. Second, focus on economic development, use the economy as the driving force for social development, gradually transition to a socialist-oriented market economy, avoid dependence on capital through capital, equipment, technology. Specifically: (1) National economic development, along with the struggle for peace and steadfast ideological stance, are the critical tasks of the Party. Financial decisions must not depart from the revolution's ideals of justice and equality, nor must they weaken the great unity of the people; (2) Edit, supplement, complete and implement specific socio- economic policies/solutions proposed from the 7th Congress in 2016: maintain 17 policies, adjust 165 policies, eliminate remove 92 policies, add 18 policies and thus, reduce the overall 274 old policies/solutions into 200 new policies/solutions; (3) Address the harmful effects of bureaucracy and poor human resource management, which are the causes and conditions for the emergence of corruption and other illegal acts that hinder improve productivity and labor efficiency; (4) Overcome irrationalities in the structure of the economic model, creating enough motivation to encourage labor and creativity; (5) More actively deploy the process of updating the socio-economic model, moving towards a harmonious and appropriate combination between the characteristics of centralized planning with autonomy and decentralization management required at intermediate levels; (6) National ownership of the primary means of production is the basis for the real power of workers. The state-owned enterprise system must prove in practice and strengthen its position as the dominant form of economy management. Implement a comprehensive reform of corporate structures to eliminate stagnation, permissiveness, lack of creativity, and passively waiting for higher-level instructions. Correct bad habits [both old and new], and at the same time, stimulate and promote the spirit of entrepreneurship and dynamism in the ranks of business and grassroots leaders, so that they become more and more autonomous, increase productivity, and achieve greater efficiency; (7) Promote productivity and operational efficiency of the state economic sector in areas that determine the country's development, while flexible and institutionalize non-state management forms. Forms of self-employment/self-employment are expanding significantly, with the types of licensed activities increasing from 127 to more than 2,000; (8) Having enough capacity to regulate the market through indirect measures and increasingly simplified administration. Turn the people's unmet or unsatisfied needs into leverage for domestic production establishments, based on practical and reasonable use of physical and financial resources; (9) Promote production nationwide (especially for food). Limit imports, increase exports with diverse and competitive products; (10) The State ensures the allocation of a significant source of foreign currency, and at the same time encourages remittances that Cubans living abroad send to relatives in the country; (11) Apply standard payment in the new currency CUP from January 1, 2021, but still maintain a certain level of trading in the old currency CUC (one of the two old currencies that were previously parallel) to overcome a negative situation in the past five years, using CUC to smuggle goods from abroad into Cuba and then resell them domestically at high prices; and (12) Continue to implement measures to encourage foreign investment. Eliminate rigidity, shyness, or passivity in foreign investment solutions. Soon amend, supplement or replace the 2014 Foreign Investment Law (Law No. 118) with a new, expanded, convenient, appropriate and more effective law. Third, comprehensively evaluate and implement social security issues; continue to promote its advantages in education and health. Specifically: (1) Never allow measures that harm vulnerable people or leave anyone in a helpless/abandoned situation; (2) Overcome the phenomenon of waste and competition. Determining “saving” is the fastest and safest form of income. Adapt to what Cuba has and do not spend more than the country can provide; (3) The Cuban people's standard of living and consumption must be determined by legitimate sources of income and not by excessive subsidies or complimentary products and services.
