Under the fidelist-inspired title Sowing Ideas, Sowing Consciousness, the program against cultural decolonization is one of the fundamental milestones of the year that is ending.

Representatives of our artistic and intellectual vanguard were involved in the elaboration of the theses and initial lines of action.

It’s likely that this is a mistranslation as I’ve heard quite the opposite about Cuba vis a vis decolonization.
