The resolution of the 8th Congress of the Communist Party of Cuba (PCC) recognizes that only 30% of the guidelines on the "Economic and Social Policy of the Party and the Revolution" approved at the 6th Congress, held 10 years ago, have been implemented. But, worse than that is that nowhere in the document is there any criticism for the delay and inefficiency.

According to the report read by Alejandro Gil Fernandez, Minister of Economy and Planning, 40% of the 244 approved policies are in implementation and the remaining 30% are in the proposal and approval stage.

In general, most of the reports I have consulted agree on a few points, among which stands out the idea of the transfer of absolute powers to Miguel Díaz Canel, the current president of Cuba, which means the definitive withdrawal of the Castros from the political scene of the island, as well as the possible changes that this could cause in relation to the political statism of the country and its repercussion in the economic sphere.
