That, per se, is a great novelty. But perhaps it is not sufficient.<\/p>\n<p>Miguel D\u00edaz-Canel inherits as Head of State a Cuba with dual currencies, blockaded by the United States which has cooled its relations with the island, a country with a depressed economy. A country that, in addition, is rapidly aging and continues marked by a strong tendency toward emigration. Will the process of reforms be speeded up? When and how will the Constitution be modified? What is the style of the wished-for leadership? Will the forms of making politics in Cuba change?<\/p>\n<p>In a context of so many questions, <strong>OnCuba<\/strong> has asked a group of Cubans for their opinion, based on three questions:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>What is the most notable difference you see in this transition?<\/li>\n<li>What is the most urgent for the new president?<\/li>\n<li>What does he have to maintain at all costs?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Silvio Rodr\u00edguez<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Poet and singer-songwriter<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The difference<\/em>: That he isn\u2019t one of the founders of the Revolution.<\/p>\n<p><em>The urgency<\/em>: Connecting with the people.<\/p>\n<p><em>To maintain<\/em>: Our anti-imperialist sovereignty.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_123243\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-123243\" style=\"width: 755px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/wmag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Silvio-Rdguez_Yailin-ALFARO-01.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-123243\" src=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/wmag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Silvio-Rdguez_Yailin-ALFARO-01.jpg\" alt=\"Silvio Rod\u00edguez.

This will need a decisive advance in: 1) eliminating the dual currency and exchange rate; 2) the wage reform in the budgeted sector of the economy; and 3) establishing &#8211; as law as well as in social practice \u2013 a definitive and rational focus in relation to the role of private ownership in the country.<\/p>\n<p><em>To maintain<\/em>: An assertion that the disciple of an intellectual that we greatly need, like Fernando Mart\u00ednez Heredia, recalled: socialism &#8211; if socialism it must be &#8211; cares about the color of the cat, not only that it catches mice.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_123241\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-123241\" style=\"width: 960px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/wmag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/juan-manue-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-123241\" src=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/wmag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/juan-manue-1.jpg\" alt=\"Juan Manuel Alvarez\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-123241\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Juan Manuel Alvarez<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Arturo L\u00f3pez-Levy<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Analyst and Professor of the University of Texas<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The difference<\/em>: The charismatic legitimacy associated to Fidel Castro as historic leader. Between 2008 and 2011, the mere presence of Fidel backed the ascent to the presidency of Ra\u00fal Castro, and with his taking sides under the temperature of any friction regarding the demotion of Carlos Lage and Felipe P\u00e9rez. In the international sphere, he continued representing an attraction for the visit and interaction with Cuba of heads of state, intellectuals, political leaders and artists.
