Cuba congress looks to future

Cuba’s ruling Communist Party meet on Saturday for a congress to introduce possible future leaders and endorse groundbreaking economic reforms in what is one of the world’s last one-party communist states.

The event, the most important since a Soviet-style system was formally adopted at the first party congress in 1975, could mark the beginning of the end of the long reign of leaders who have guided Cuba since the 1959 revolution and created the socialist model they now seek to preserve – through reform.

The 1,000 delegates in attendance will approve some or all of nearly 300 reforms proposed by President Raul Castro to end Cuba’s economic crisis by correcting past policy mistakes.

The changes, many already in place, include a much greater opening to private enterprise, such as the right of small businesses to hire their own workers.

The reforms aim to boost the island’s state-dominated, debt-ridden and unproductive economy Castro says has brought Cuban communism to the brink of the abyss. Most experts believe Cuba will have to make more dramatic changes to solve its economic problems, but the reforms “represent a clear and much-needed departure from previous ways of managing Cuba’s economy,” said Paolo Spadoni, political science professor at Augusta State University in Georgia.

“There is a chance to make more money and live a little better,” said Abel, a state construction worker thinking of starting up privately on his own. “But it all depends on whether they give us enough space. Cubans need more space.”

Present in the plan of Cuba’s leadership is the idea that communism, abandoned in most other countries where it was tried, can still be made to work in Cuba if executed properly.

Raul Castro, who turns 80 in June, is expected to be elected First Secretary by the congress in place of his older brother Fidel Castro, 84. But the selection of a Second Secretary and the party’s central committee will be watched closely because among them could be Cuba’s future leader.

“Keep your eye on the new crowd ... if there is one,” said Christopher Sabatini, senior director of policy at the Americas Society in New York.

“Generally speaking, governments and political leadership throughout the region, not just Cuba, have proven themselves almost genetically incapable of renovating themselves from within,” he said.

But it is possible the old guard will remain. President Castro said in his December speech the historic leaders felt they had an “elemental duty” to correct their mistakes before entrusting Cuban socialism to the next generation. (The News)
