Miami’s exile community was thrilled to hear that Cuban president Fidel Castro won’t be seeking re-election due to his failing health. Still, they aren’t holding their breath that this will be cause for dramatic change on the island nation. Their trepidation stems from the belief that power will no doubt transfer to Castro’s brother, Raul. Many in the community view him as just as bad as his brother who has ruled with an iron fist for almost 50 years. The US government has already vowed to continue the embargo against the island if power does in fact transfer over to Raul Castro. There are many opinions on the matter, but ask just about anyone in Little Havana how they feel and they will most likely tell you that they are happy to see the dictator go, but are still yearning for the day they can return to their homeland and finally see a democratic Cuba. For a look at what US politicians had to say on the matter make sure to visit here.
