Cuban Government Restructures

The Cuban Council of State released an official statement Monday informing of recent changes in the government. These follow President Raul Castro's remarks during the constituent session of the Cuban parliament on February 24, 2008, on the necessity to create a more compact and functional structure of government and a better distribution of responsibilities, the statement explains.

The official statement quotes Raul Castro as saying: "institutionalism is one of the cornerstones of the invulnerability of the Revolution in the political arena, that's why we have to keep working on improving it. We can never think that what we have done is perfect."

According to the official statement, the current structure will be further analyzed with the objective of gradually making it even more compact and efficient.
