Too little, way too late : Fidel Castro concedes that the Cuban economic model isn’t working

Posted on September 9, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Fidel Castro tells an American journalist that the Cuban economic model isn't working. The former Cuban president made the jaw-dropping comment to Jeffrey Goldberg of The Atlantic. Goldberg says the ailing Cuban leader's remarks came almost as an aside over lunch recently in Havana. “The Cuban model doesn't even work for us anymore,” Castro told Goldberg. The writer said he was so stunned that he asked his companion at the lunch, Julia Sweig, a leading Latin America scholar at the Council on Foreign Relations, if he had heard Castro correctly.

Fidel Castro: "The Cuban Model No Longer Works"

Posted on September 9, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

http://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2010/09/fidel-cuban-model-doesn… In an interview with journalist Jeffrey Goldberg of The Atlantic, Fidel Castro admitted that “the Cuban model doesn't even work for us anymore.” Could this finally legitimize the actions of the opposition that has been trying for many years to bring change to Cuba? What does this mean for the future of Cuba, that the leader of the Revolution itself believes that the economic model no longer works? And also, what does this mean for Hugo Chavez in Venezuela who has time and time again held up Cuba as a model for Venezuela? _______________________________________________________________________ Personally, I am glad that what Cubans in exile have been saying for 50 years has finally been admitted by Fidel Castro. I have only one word for this: Vindication. added by: UrbanGypsy
