Cuba Meet Your New (Old) President! Raul Castro.

08:22 H | Topics: Cuba - Politics

25cuba-span-600.jpgYesterday, in a not so surprising move, the Cuban National Assembly named Fidel Castro's brother, Raúl, president. The unanimous decision has been interpreted by many as a continuation of brother Fidel Castro's policies and in fact in his acceptance speech, Raul promised to finish big bro's work. Any hopes of new leaders were squashed when 77-year-old revolutionary leader, Jose Ramon Machado, was named Vice-President.
