Cubans abroad vote on new Family Code

HAVANA, Cuba, Sep 18 (ACN) The Referendum on the Family Code keeps making progress abroad, according to Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez Parrilla.

Since Sunday, Cuban nationals living abroad, including aid workers, sports trainers and athletes attending foreign competitions, have been exercising their right to vote in the referendum, scheduled to finish on September 25.
