Let there be light Sixth Part Extraordinary 107

Article 74 of the Constitution of the Republic of Cuba, related below, is fictitious. Any similarity to other democratic and respected in real life Constitutions, is entirely coincidental and unintentional:

Article 74: The National Assembly of People’s Power elects, from among its deputies, the Council of State, which consists of one president, one first vice president, five vice presidents, one secretary and 23 other members. The president of the Council of State is, at the same time, the head of state and head of government. The Council of State is accountable for its action to the National Assembly of People’s Power, to which it must render accounts of all its activities.

This shameful manipulation of the Constitution of the Republic of Cuba has ensured the perpetuation of the totalitarian and dictatorial power of the Castros, since they reduce to 600 prejudiced, influenced, pressured and compromised citizens, the total of "voters" who are allowed to "choose" the President and other members of the ruling elite of the nation, with the additional fraud of "single party", the "united vote" and the self-called "historic leaders". And if to this undemocratic and shameful election we add the political apathy, corruption and double standards which have reigned and are reigning in this National Assembly, where we come to know, despite the lack of transparent information and the secrecy that characterizes Castros' regime, scandalous cases like: José Padrón, destituted for corruption in the Tourism Ministry(1976-1986); Luis Orlando Domínguez of the Institute of Civil Aviation(1978-1987) condemned to 20 years in prison for corruption and conspiracy; Arnaldo Ochoa of the Armed Forces degraded, tried on drug charges and executed on July 13th, 1989; Jose Abrantes of the Interior Ministry(1985-1989) dismissed for tolerance in the Ochoa case, abuse of power, neglect of duty and misuse of resources and convicted to 20 years for corruption; Diocles Torralbas of the transporting Ministry(1985-1989) prosecuted for corruption and conspiracy in June  1989 and a month later sentenced to 20 years on charges of malversation, abuse of authority and misuse of resources; Levi Farah Balmaseda of the Ministry of Construction Materials(1987-1989) destituted for corruption and conspiracy; Marcos Lage Coello of the Ministry of Iron and Steel-Mechanics and Electronics Industry(1977-1990) dismissed for corruption; Victoria Velázquez of the Union of Young Communists(1994-1997) dismissed for corruption;  Roberto Robaina of the Ministry of Foreigh Affairs(1993-1999) destituted for corruption and lack of confidence; Orlando Rodríguez Romay of the Fishing Ministry(1995-2000) dismissed for irregularities in his administration on corruption in his Ministry; Nelson Torres of the Ministry of the Sugar Industry(1993-1997) dismissed for corruption; Ibrahim Ferradaz of the Tourism Ministry(1999-2004) dismissed for corruption; Ignacio González Planas of the Ministry of Informatics and Communications(2000-2005) dismissed for corruption and negligence; Juan Carlos Robinson of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party deposed from office in April 2006 for "abuse of power'' and "softening and indiscretions'' and was sentenced two months later to 12 years in prison for influence trafficking; Fernando Remirez of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs(1992-2009) dismissed for serious deficiencies and serious "irregularities", including payment of bribes, malversation and diversion of resources abroad; Carlos Lage of the State Council(1992-2009) dismissed for conspiracy; Felipe Pérez Roque, of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs(1999-2009) dismissed for conspiracy; Otto Rivero of the State Council(2004-2009) dismissed for lack of trust and conspiracy; Alejandro Roca of the Ministry of Food Industry(1976-2009) tried for corruption and sentenced to 15 years in prison. We must add to these cases many others dismissed for negligence, for inefficient control, deficiencies in office or personal and strategic differences, among which we stand out Osmani Cienfuegos(1994-1999), Marcos Portal(1983-2004), and Yadira Garcia(2004-2010); or Luis Ignacio Gómez, Member of the Central Committee of the Communist Party and Minister of Education for almost 18 years, who was removed from office in April 2008 for loss of "Energy and revolutionary consciousness'', and "having traveled abroad more than 70 times '' in a decade "using the pretext of international cooperation''. Besides, if we consider all those released from their posts, those who have resigned, or have defected abroad as General Rafael del Pino and others, there are plenty of arguments to demonstrate the illegitimacy of the Castros.  To be continued...
