I believe that nothing escapes the spirit of the document, because it is very well thought out and detailed”, teacher Gladys Esther Salaber Varela commented.

Along the same lines, Lourdes Ulacia Martínez, deputy to the National Assembly and president of the Popular Council, emphasized that the Family Code Project is inclusive and the fact of recognizing socio-affective affiliation as a constitutive element of families is an important step forward. "Each family should have the same rights, no matter what form of organization it is," she emphasized.
