End of an era for Cuba: The referendum that will bring revolutionary changes

Private property, foreign investment and internet

The changes promoted by the new Cuban Constitution can be characterized as revolutionary for the data of this country.

The reason is very simple. In next Sunday's referendum, Cubans will be asked to say a resounding yes to the right to private property, to the role of foreign investment in the country, but to anyone who can play the internet.

Analysts point out that it is now very likely that the… Stalinist percentages of the 1976 referendum will not be observed again, when the "yes" won 97,7% of the votes, while the no - only 54.000.

On Sunday, yes, the new Constitution will be approved, but the acceptance rate may fall below 80% as the opposition can affect even 1/4 of the votes.

The government has already described the yes vote as a patriotic act, while opposition leaders say the no is another step towards the collapse of communist rule.

For the time being, of course, such a thing does not appear on the horizon. The Cuban government, controlling all the media, comfortably launched its "yes" campaign.
