Florida, Oct. 1 – Every September 29th—in tribute to Paquito González Cueto, the 13-year-old Pioneer murdered by the tyranny’s henchmen while standing guard of honor over the ashes of Julio Antonio Mella—the José Martí Pioneer Organization holds Pioneer elections. This process fosters student participation and encourages students to commit to their responsibilities within the organization.
Journalists Yamicela Núñez and Mayelin Baryolo provide details on the preparation and conduct of this election day, during which children and adolescents democratically elect their representatives, in the following report.
