CAPITOLHILLSCUBANS: Castro's Kabuki Party Congress. (Inglés)

(…) it's important to note that this CCP had been more than two-years in the making. It was originally scheduled for 2009. The official reason for its postponement was the “economic crisis.” But it was more likely tied to the regime's expectations that the U.S. Congress —with a Democratic majority and President— might have lifted trade, financing and tourism sanctions between 2008-2010.

For all of Raul Castro's “fiscal revelation” that 2+2=4, the CCP seems limited to cutting basic staples from the Cuban people, but not giving the people any fundamental economic rights.
