1st. CONGRESS
December 17-22, 1975
«Arriving today at this Plaza, we have seen the greatest concentration in the history of the Revolution. (…) And what our people feel, experience in this act, is that sense of security, of historical continuity that our Party offers; what our people want to express today is that they feel and understand that the Revolution is stronger and the Revolution is more secure than ever.
Speech delivered by Commander in Chief Fidel Castro Ruz at the mass ceremony on the occasion of the closing of the 1st. Congress of the pcc, in the Plaza de la Revolución, on December 22, 1975.
Milestones:

• It involved a broad popular movement, since all the mass organizations in the country proposed commitments aimed at greeting the conclave.
• 3 166 delegates and 86 invited international delegations participated.
• The central report presented a broad and forceful summary that, in the voice of Fidel, described the path followed from 1959 to date, in the economic, political and social spheres, which allowed an accurate outlining of the work objectives for the quinquennium 1976-1980.
• The Programmatic Platform of the Communist Party of Cuba and the draft Constitution of the Republic of Cuba were discussed, as well as resolutions related, among other issues, to the economic projections for the quinquennium 1976-1980.
