Fidel did not pass control to his brother. The Cuban constitution mandates parliamentary structure and command structure. If the HoS is unable to perform the duties, then the VP assumes the HoS position temporarily until the next election (similar to the US).
The Cuban elections resulted in Raul being elected to his Parliamentary seat, and then the elected parliament electing Raul to the Head of State position. The Cuban Head of State isn't a strongman that rules by decree. In fact the Cuban head of State has no more than one vote in the Assembly (parliament). The most powerful political person in Cuba is the President of the Cuban Assembly - Ricardo Alarcon de Quesada. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ricardo_Alarcon  Of course, I know that you know these details. :eyes: |
