Cuba will again have a prime minister starting this Saturday, when <\/span>Parliament<\/span><\/a> designates the person who will occupy a position that disappeared more than 40 years ago and was now recovered by the new Constitution.<\/span><\/p>\n

1.- Origins and disappearance<\/strong><\/p>\n

The position of prime minister appears in Cuba with the progressive Constitution of 1940, one of the most advanced in Latin America at the time. It was created as a link between the Executive and Legislative powers, without much relevance in the political life of the island, where he was seen as the president’s spokesman.<\/span><\/p>\n

It becomes important as of 1959 when <\/span>Fidel Castro<\/span><\/a> comes to power. The deceased leader assumes the position and becomes the true ruler, eclipsing then President Osvaldo Dortic\u00f3s.<\/span><\/p>\n

In 1976, the new Constitution eliminates the figures of the president of the Republic and the prime minister and establishes a collegiate government, with the Council of State as its highest body.<\/span><\/p>\n
