Likewise, Jhon Alejandro Fernández Leyva, member of the FEU secretariat, explained that the Festival, born in Holguín, has continued to reflect the passion for radio in universities, because despite the rise of social networks, the medium persists in its informative, cultural mission and as a platform for art, which has a legion of workers in more than a hundred stations in the country.

The meeting was attended by Joel Queipo Ruiz, member of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba and first secretary in the province; Manuel Francisco Hernández Aguilera, governor of Holguín, and other local authorities.
Dedicated to the memory of Manuel Porto Sánchez, National Prize for Radio and Television, and to the 102nd anniversaries of Cuban Radio and the FEU, the Festival constitutes a space that encourages the radio movement in the country’s higher education institutions. (Source: ACN)
