The new Constitution of 2019 limited Cuban political parties to the formation of "mass and social organizations" dedicated "to the tasks of building, consolidating and defending the socialist society" (Article 14).

During the Congress, the appointment to the Board of Enix Berrio Sardá, an economist and sociologist, resident of Havana, Cuba, received special recognition.

The party invokes the legacy of José Martí and Simón Bolívar, whom they say "conceived Latin America as a brotherhood of shared, common and sovereign nations."

The PDC has frequently denounced the systematic repression of all civil, political, social, economic, and cultural rights of the Cuban people by the Stalinist regime that the Castro brothers imposed in Cuba more than six decades ago.

The PDC has denounced as well the growing repression exercised against their people by other dictatorial governments in Latin America – of more recent appearance – such as those presided over by Nicolás Maduro in Venezuela and Daniel Ortega in Nicaragua.
