These photos are from the successful presentation by Cuban Educator Ezequiel in Perth on April 9, 2011. Ezequiel spoke about the "reordering" of the Cuban economy being discussed in the lead up to the forthcoming Cuban Communist Party congress.
He explained the reasons that these changes are necessary and emphasised that this was not a change in the socialist character of the Cuban revolution.
He also noted the protections that workers will have in the new situation.
