Castro Cedes Power

Fidel Castro, 79, has reportedly ceded power to his bother Rau

Fidel Castro, 79, has reportedly ceded power to his bother Raul, 75, minister of defense. Carlos Valenciaga, Castro’s secretary, read the announcement over Cuba's state run television station.

For the first time in 47 years Fidel Castro is not in power in Cuba.

‘’There is no doubt the people and the revolution will struggle until the last drop of blood,’’ Said Valenciaga.

Castro, who will be 80 on Aug. 13, 2006, delegated some of his functions to high level Communist party leaders.

In the 1980's, the communist old guard began dying off in the Soviet Union. Not wanting to appoint an older leader who would die and put the country through the process of succession once more, the Supreme Soviet appointed Gorbachev, a young man in his 50's.

Gobachev then began his policy of "glasnost" (openness) which later lead to the fall of the Soviet system.

The transition of power from Castro to Castro is believed to be temporary while Fidel undergoes surgery.

Proclama del Comandante en Jefe Fidel Castro al pueblo de Cuba Correo: digital@jrebelde.cip.cu 31 de julio de 2006 22:26:01 GMT Con motivo del enorme esfuerzo realizado para visitar la ciudad argentina de Córdoba, participar en la Reunión del MERCOSUR, en la clausura de la Cumbre de los Pueblos en la histórica Universidad de Córdoba y en la visita a Altagracia, la ciudad donde vivió el Che en su infancia y unido a esto asistir de inmediato a la conmemoración del 53 aniversario del asalto a los cuarteles Moncada y Carlos Manuel de Céspedes, el 26 de julio de 1953, en las provincias de Granma y Holguín, días y noches de trabajo continuo sin apenas dormir dieron lugar a que mi salud, que ha resistido todas las pruebas, se sometiera a un estrés extremo y se quebrantara. Esto me provocó una crisis intestinal aguda con sangramiento sostenido que me obligó a enfrentar una complicada operación quirúrgica. Todos los detalles de este accidente de salud constan en las radiografías, endoscopías y materiales filmados. La operación me obliga a permanecer varias semanas de reposo, alejado de mis responsabilidades y cargos. Como nuestro país se encuentra amenazado en circunstancias como esta por el Gobierno de los Estados Unidos, he tomado la siguiente decisión: 1) Delego con carácter provisional mis funciones como Primer Secretario del Comité Central del Partido Comunista de Cuba en el Segundo Secretario, compañero Raúl Castro Ruz. 2) Delego con carácter provisional mis funciones como Comandante en Jefe de las heroicas Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias en el mencionado compañero, General de Ejército Raúl Castro Ruz. 3) Delego con carácter provisional mis funciones como Presidente del Consejo de Estado y del Gobierno de la República de Cuba en el Primer Vicepresidente, compañero Raúl Castro Ruz. 4) Delego con carácter provisional mis funciones como impulsor principal del Programa Nacional e Internacional de Salud Pública en el Miembro del Buró Político y Ministro de Salud Pública, compañero José Ramón Balaguer Cabrera. 5) Delego con carácter provisional mis funciones como impulsor principal del Programa Nacional e Internacional de Educación en los compañeros José Ramón Machado Ventura y Esteban Lazo Hernández, Miembros del Buró Político. 6) Delego con carácter provisional mis funciones como impulsor principal del Programa Nacional de la Revolución Energética en Cuba y de colaboración con otros países en este ámbito en el compañero Carlos Lage Dávila, Miembro del Buró Político y Secretario del Comité Ejecutivo del Consejo de Ministros. Los fondos correspondientes para estos tres programas, Salud, Educación y Energético, deberán seguir siendo gestionados y priorizados, como he venido haciéndolo personalmente, por los compañeros Carlos Lage Dávila, Secretario del Comité Ejecutivo del Consejo de Ministros, Francisco Soberón Valdés, Ministro Presidente del Banco Central de Cuba, y Felipe Pérez Roque, Ministro de Relaciones Exteriores, quienes me acompañaron en estas gestiones y deberán constituir una comisión para ese objetivo. Nuestro glorioso Partido Comunista, apoyado por las organizaciones de masas y todo el pueblo, tiene la misión de asumir la tarea encomendada en esta Proclama. La reunión Cumbre del Movimiento de Países No Alineados, a realizarse entre los días 11 y 16 de septiembre, deberá recibir la mayor atención del Estado y la Nación cubana para celebrarse con el máximo de brillantez en la fecha acordada. El 80 aniversario de mi cumpleaños, que tan generosamente miles de personalidades acordaron celebrar el próximo 13 de agosto, les ruego a todos posponerlo para el 2 de diciembre del presente año, 50 aniversario del Desembarco del Granma. Pido al Comité Central del Partido y a la Asamblea Nacional del Poder Popular el apoyo más firme a esta Proclama. No albergo la menor duda de que nuestro pueblo y nuestra Revolución lucharán hasta la última gota de sangre para defender estas y otras ideas y medidas que sean necesarias para salvaguardar este proceso histórico. El imperialismo jamás podrá aplastar a Cuba. La Batalla de Ideas seguirá adelante. ¡Viva la Patria! ¡Viva la Revolución! ¡Viva el Socialismo! ¡Hasta la Victoria Siempre! Fidel Castro Ruz Comandante en Jefe Primer Secretario del Partido y Presidente de los Consejos de Estado y de Ministros de la República de Cuba. Julio 31 del 2006 6 y 22 p.m. It proclaims of the Commandant in Boss Fidel Castro to the town of Cuba. July 31, 2006 22:26:01 GMT This provoked me an intestinal sharp crisis with sustained spill of blood that forced me to face a surgical complicated operation. All the details of this accident of health consist in the x-rays, the analyses and filmed materials. The operation forces me to remain several weeks of rest, far from my responsibilities and positions. As our country it is threatened in circumstances like this by the Government from the United States, I have made the following decision: 1) I delegate with provisional character my functions as First Secretary of the Central Committee of Communist Party of Cuba in the Second Secretary, partner Raúl Castro Ruz. 2) I delegate with provisional character my functions as Major in Boss of the Revolutionary heroic Armed Forces in the mentioned partner, General of Army Raúl Castro Ruz. 3) I delegate with provisional character my functions as President of the Council of State and of the Government of the Republic of Cuba in the First Vice-president, partner Raúl Castro Ruz. 4) I delegate with provisional character my functions as main instigator of the National and International Program of Public Health in the Member of the Political Desk and Secretary of Public Health, partner José Ramón Balaguer Goatherd. 5) I delegate with provisional character my functions as main instigator of the National and International Program of Education in the partners José Ramón Machado Ventura and Esteban Lazo Hernández, Members of the Political Desk. 6) I delegate with provisional character my functions as main instigator of the National Program of the Energy Revolution in Cuba and of collaboration with other countries in this environment in the partner Carlos Lage Dávila, Member of the Political Desk and Secretary of the Executive Committee of the Council of Secretaries. The corresponding funds for these three programs, Health, Education and Energy, they will continue being negotiated and prioritized, like I have come making it personally, for the partners Carlos Lage Dávila, Secretary of the Executive Committee of the Council of Secretaries, Francisco Soberón Valdés, Secretary President of the Central Bank of Cuba, and Felipe Pérez Roque, Secretary of External Relationships who they accompanied me in these managements and they will constitute a commission for that objective. Our Communist glorious Party, supported by the organizations of masses and the whole town, has the mission of assuming the task commended in this it Proclaims. The meeting Summit of the Movement of Not Aligned Countries, to be carried out among the days 11 and 16 of September, will receive the biggest attention in the State and the Cuban Nation to take place with the maximum of brightness in the agreed date. The 80 anniversary of my birthday that so generously thousands of personalities agreed to celebrate the next one August 13, I request to all to postpone it for December 2 of the present year, on the 50 anniversary of the Landing of Granma. I request to the Central Committee of Party and the National Assembly of the Popular Power the firmest support to this it Proclaims. I don't house the smallest doubt that our town and our Revolution will fight until the last drop of blood to defend these and other ideas and measures that are necessary to safeguard this historical process. The imperialism will never be able to squash Cuba. The Battle of Ideas will continue ahead. Alive the Homeland! Alive the Revolution! Alive the Socialism! Until Victoria Always! Fidel Castro Ruz Major in Boss First Secretary of Party and President of the State Advice And of Secretaries of the Republic of Cuba. July 31, 2006 6:22 p.m.

Requiem

by Lord Locksley Thursday, Aug. 03, 2006 at 5:59 PM

"President Fidel Castro proclaimed himself in stable condition and good spirits in a statement read on state television Tuesday," the Los Angeles Times reports from Guantanamo Bay. But the statement was read by someone else, and it was quite vague about Castro's ailment and treatment.

"Castro's doctors, meanwhile, say that if his condition continues to improve, they will soon be able to pronounce him dead."
