La Habana. Cuba se prepara para el histórico relevo de Raúl Castro, quien dejará en una semana la Presidencia, pero mantendrá el control sobre el Partido Comunista (gobernante), para guiar a su sucesor y ayudarlo a convivir con los círculos de poder en la Isla.

Tras el triunfo de la revolución de 1959, Fidel Castro fue designado primer ministro, mientras que la Presidencia la asumió Manuel Urrutia y luego Osvaldo Dorticós hasta 1976.
