    Diaz-Canel replaces Raul Castro as Cuba's president......

    Cuba has a new leader. Same as the old leader. So nothing will change with the US relationship as it is. Still will follow that road down the Communist path. What say ye?




    Raul Castro said Thursday that he expected 57-year-old Miguel Mario Diaz-Canel Bermudez to serve two five-year terms as president and eventually take Castro's place as head of the Communist Party, potentially dominating Cuban politics until 2031.


    It was the first time Castro has laid out a clear vision for the nation's power structure after his retirement or death, a vision in which Diaz-Canel is Castro's true successor as total leader of Cuba.


    Castro left the presidency Thursday after 12 years in office when the National Assembly approved Diaz-Canel's nomination as the candidate for the top government position. Diaz-Canel told the nation that Castro, 86, would remain the country's ultimate authority as head of the Communist Party.


    In his half-hour speech to the nation, the new president pledged to preserve the island's communist system while gradually reforming the economy and making the government more responsive to the people.


    He said Cuba was, as always, prepared to negotiate with the United States but unwilling to cede to any of Washington's demands for internal change.


    Diaz-Canel gained prominence in central Villa Clara province as the top Communist Party official, a post equivalent to governor. People there describe him as a hard-working, modest-living technocrat dedicated to improving public services. He became higher education minister in 2009 before moving into the vice presidency.....snip~

    Hmmm usually the leftness is glad to see another Communist take over Cuba. Remember when the leftness was touting the Cuban healthcare system? Then how those Castro brothers was taking out their opposition just for running against them.
