# Otro18 seeks to reform at least three
articles of the Socialist Constitution
(1976) reformed in 2003: Article 3,
which has to do with the exercise of
sovereignty; Article 5, about the hegemonic and implicit superiority of the
Communist Party; and Article 137,
which deprives the citizens of their right
to reform the constitutional order. The
minimal agenda proposes a series of
reforms to the electoral system that
meets three basic demands: the plurality
of the Cuban political society, the competitiveness of the political system, and
the direct election of the President.
# Otro18 promotes independent candidates for the upcoming elections as part
of the peaceful opposition plan by the
Table of Unity for Democratic Action
(MUAD).

In this context of political action, #
Otro18 has an additional strategy and
campaign against violence, on the basis
of the Zero Violence Project, which is
being developed by various groups,
mainly of women, in Cuban civil society. This eighth edition of our magazine
intends to do its bit in such constructive
works for all Cubans, but especially for
those belonging to the most disinherited
sectors as a result of discrimination on
grounds of race, sex, sexual orientation,
and income level.
