Havana, Sep 26 (Prensa Latina) Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel said on Monday that the victory of the Yes vote in the popular referendum on the Family Code was an act of justice.

This civic act was described as historic, due to its social transcendence, and because for the first time in Cuba’s constitutional development, a law was submitted to a popular referendum, which placed Cuba among the few countries that have developed such an institution of direct democracy.

Yesterday’s Italian election brought victory for Giorgia Meloni’s far-right Fratelli d’Italia — and record-low turnout. The opposition between technocrats and the far right is the symptom of a deeper decline.
