Cuba policy: what will happen in Cuba after Fidel?

In the coming days, a historical event can happen in Cuba, the leader of the revolution, 84 years, Fidel Castro is likely to leave the last of his duties as leader of the Communist Party of Cuba

According to a source in ' Cuban party elite, the organization will be headed by Raúl Castro, 79, brother of the Captain.
So far, he served as second secretary of the party. It is assumed that the legal registration of the changes in the direction of the party will take place in April. At the same time, it is unclear who will be the second secretary in place of Raul. There are no candidates from among the relatives of the legendary brothers.

If the information is correct, perhaps the most legendary politicians living will resign from public affairs.
On 1 January 1959, after the overthrow of dictator Fulgencio Batista, Fidel Castro became the Prime Minister as head of the island. E 'remained the leader of the Communist Party since its inception in 1965. In 1976, the position of prime minister was abolished and Fidel has become the new president of the supreme executive authority in Cuba: the Council of State.

Since then, the commander took the reins of power in his hands.
E 'became a symbol of the struggle against American hegemony. Experts estimate that 637 was the target of assassination attempts, a world record.
Fidel has built the only socialist state in the Western Hemisphere, after the collapse of the Soviet bloc has experienced difficult times. Over the past 20 years, Cuba live in great poverty, but he never abandoned his socialist choice.

Voices on the health of Fidel has always been abundant. The doctor Marcelo Fernandes, who fled the island, said that the master was made in Egypt in 1989. E 'was seen to eliminate the effects of a brain hemorrhage and was diagnosed with colon cancer.
In 2005, a CIA report released information stating that since 1998, Castro suffers from Parkinson's disease. At least three times a message appeared on the death of Fidel, respectively in 1986, 1994 and 2007. Whenever the information proved false.

However, there were serious health problems related to age. At the end of July 2006, just three weeks before his 80th birthday, Fidel was admitted to a hospital. He underwent a complicated intestinal surgery, and for some time, the commander has the highest office moved to his brother.
In the fall of 2006, Fidel's health has become a state secret. Only occasionally appeared on Cuban television to prove he was still alive.

In early 2008, the impossible has happened. Fidel announced his decision to leave the post of President of the Council of State and Supreme Commander.
The government has been transferred into the hands of his brother Raul. As for Fidel, occasionally addressing the audience with "Reflections" central organ of the Cuban press the "Granma".

next two years, there have been some meetings with Fidel leaders of several Latin American countries.
His most frequent visitor is Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez. He met other politicians of faith solid anti-American, the presidents of Bolivia (Evo Morales), Nicaragua (Daniel Ortega) and Ecuador (Rafael Correa). Fidel was also visited by more moderate politicians such as former President of Brazil Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and the acting head of Argentina Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner.

Nell'estate del 2010 il Comandante per la prima volta dopo quattro anni è apparso in televisione in diretta, dove ha parlato della politica americana in Medio Oriente. Da allora ha rilasciato interviste sulle questioni di politica nazionale ed internazionale con una frequenza crescente.
Una settimana fa, ha commentato il rovesciamento del presidente egiziano Hosni Mubarak affermando:"Il popolo egiziano ha segnato un importante traguardo: rovesciare il principale alleato de li Stati Uniti nel mondo arabo.

Tuttavia, pur mantenendo il passo con gli eventi politici, il Comandante non stava cercando di tornare alla posizione di governo di alto livello. Gli è rimaste solo la leadership del partito.
Fidel decided to leave? What will happen to Cuba now? In which direction will move the country? The deputy director of the Institute of Latin American scientific academies Boris Martynov said on Cuban scenarios Pravda.ru Russian newspaper:

"Perhaps the gradual transition from Fidel's government work can be considered a natural phenomenon, given its age advanced. Recently, the leader of the Cuban revolution has clearly begun to deteriorate. This is evident from his statements are not very suitable for the development of the country. However, this does not mean he will not be "the singer behind the scenes for some time.

With regard to the direction that Cuba is taking the country expects the market reforms. It remains a question: in what form will be carried out?
Cubans are tired of semi-isolation and made a life of hardship, they need modern products.
Still, the strong signs of change should not expect from Raul. In the short term, pervedo that he will maintain relations with the Left of Latin American countries like Venezuela or Nicaragua.

The Cuban leadership at once saw enough of the Russian restructuring, which resulted, from the perspective of many of the results highly questionable.
not want to repeat similar events in their country. That is why the reforms of which they spoke for a few years, in fact, are just beginning. Havana is cautious about their implementation, such as recalls the sad Soviet experience.

On the other hand, we should not expect that the Cubans will rise again tomorrow, toppling the Castro brothers, and asking the Americans.
Except for a small group of dissidents, no one wants that to happen. Originally
the Cuban revolution was not social, but nationalist, anti-American. Therefore, the future prospect for Cubans is the development of capitalism, focusing on social needs while maintaining a footprint nationalist anti-American. "
