Castro confirms he's stepping down as Cuban leader
By Tal Axelrod - 04/16/21 05:42 PM EDT

Raúl Castro confirmed Friday that he’s stepping down as leader of Cuba’s Communist Party, bringing an end to decades-long rule of the island by the Castro family.

Castro confirmed his retirement in a speech marking the start of a new Congress, though his exit from Cuban politics is not anticipated to mark a wave of changes in the country or revamp its relationship with the U.S.

Rot in peace, Raúl. You'll soon be joining your brother in that warm place.

If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

I hope that for the sake of the Cuban people, some positive changes will emerge.

Until he croaks, nothing will happen without his approval, even if he's not in an official role.

My first thought was Castro's joining the Administration as a Special Advisor to Biden.

I can see Raul working for CNN.  Just not that farfetched!
