Rich and poor grows
The gap between rich and poor grows, the structural underdevelopment perpetuates, and the savage capitalism, of neoliberal face, develops antivalues such as selfishness, war, and plunder of natural resources, Fernandez said. In this context, the UNESCO non-payment crisis, given the financial blackmail of the main contributor (The United States), should be managed as an opportunity for structural reform of the organization, making it more efficient and regain its leading role in the international system, he said.Fernandez called to restore the balance between the natural and social sciences, and the latters' contributions in the discussion and solution of economic, political, and social factors that create and reproduce poverty.
The Cuban representative in the 190 session of the Executive Board concluded his speech with a greeting to the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, for the brilliant examples of democratic exercise, due to the re-election of President Hugo Chavez.
