Partido Comunista de Cuba

What Partido Comunista de Cuba does

The Partido Comunista de Cuba (PCC), founded in 1965 and headquartered at Plaza de la Revolución in Havana, is the constitutionally designated "fuerza política dirigente superior de la sociedad y del Estado" of Cuba (Article 5 of the Cuban Constitution) and the supreme political force directing Cuban society and the state. It serves the entire Cuban population ("millones de compatriotas") through a network of provincial and municipal Party committees in all 15 provinces plus the Municipio Especial Isla de la Juventud, a direct citizen-services office (Atención a la Población) operating by phone, email, in-person visits, and a structured web form, and mass organizations including the Unión de Jóvenes Comunistas (UJC) and Comités de Defensa de la Revolución (CDR).

Its core product is the Drupal-based public-facing web platform pcc.cu, developed by the Universidad de las Ciencias Informáticas (UCI) and distributed under a CC-BY-NC license. The platform integrates an editorial news section (Actualidad), an international relations section, a multimedia library (Audios, Videos, Imágenes, Documentos) with downloadable ideological materials and the multi-volume "Obras Escogidas" of Raúl Castro, a podcast series, an online discussion forum (Foro Debate), a Militancia section for cadre study materials, and the Atención a la Población citizen-services module. Content is syndicated across Instagram, Twitter/X, Facebook, Telegram, YouTube, WhatsApp Channel, and partner press outlets (Granma, ACN, Bohemia, Cubahora, Cuba Socialista, Presidencia de Cuba). The PCC operates the Universidad del Partido Comunista de Cuba "Ñico López" for political formation of cadres and publishes the theoretical journal Cuba Socialista.

The PCC has no commercial revenue stream and no disclosed pricing model; operations are state-funded and the website is offered free of charge. Recent strategic activity has centered on the X Pleno of the Central Committee (July 2025) which approved the convocation to the 9th Congress (#ElCongresoDeTodos), the III Encuentro Internacional de Publicaciones Teóricas de Partidos y Movimientos de Izquierda (October 2025) with delegates from 30+ countries, and the Extraordinary Central Committee Plenum and Third Extraordinary Session of the National Assembly (June 2026) which approved economic and social transformations in what the President characterized as "the most difficult hours of this century."

Core offering

The Partido Comunista de Cuba (PCC) is the constitutionally designated supreme political force directing Cuban society and the State. It leads political-ideological work, coordinates the Government Program to correct economic distortions, convenes Central Committee Plenos and Party Congresses, and engages citizens through its Atención a la Población office, territorial visits across all 15 provinces, and a public-facing Drupal-based web platform (pcc.cu) hosting multimedia content, theoretical publications, podcasts, and an open political debate forum.

Product overview

The Partido Comunista de Cuba operates a single integrated Drupal-based content platform (pcc.cu) developed by UCI under a CC-BY-NC license, rather than a portfolio of separate commercial products. The core offering is the public-facing portal itself, around which a set of purpose-built modules is organized: a news and editorial section (Actualidad), a multimedia library (Biblioteca) subdivided into Audios (with a dedicated Podcast channel and downloadable MP3 episodes), Videos, Imágenes, and Documentos (offering PDFs of discourses, bulletins, and the multi-volume "Raúl Castro Ruz Obras Escogidas"); a discussion forum (Foro Debate); a citizen-services module (Atención a la Población) providing a web form plus in-person, phone (+53 7 859 30 41) and email ([email protected]) channels; a Militancia section distributing tabloid-format ideological study materials; and an international relations section. Together these sections function as the party's principal online channel for political communication, ideological formation, documentation, and citizen engagement.
