Reformas na Cuba

Cuba's Dishonest Reforms

Raul Castro says Cuba's ruling clique will govern the country for ten more years because Cuba "lacks a reserve of well-prepared substitutes." There may be an element of truth in his claim. But if so, Raul and brother Fidel bear the blame: just a few years ago, to take but one example, they purged a couple up-and-coming "reformers" in their administration who spoke as if they wished someday to become forces for liberalization: Carlos Lage and Felipe Perez Roque.
