The 11th Congress of the Union of Cuban Journalists (UPEC for its Spanish acronym) starts in Havana on Thursday after an intense process of discussions and contributions from grassroots structures all across the country.
The two-day conclave gathers 275 delegates from different media at Havana’s Conference Center under the slogan “Changes Yes, revolutionary changes.”
