| 2011-08-03 |
| [Al Jazeera] The Cuban National Assembly has approved Communist Party proposals to overhaul the country's state-dominated economy and lift some restrictions on citizens' personal lives, according to state-run media. The plan, which includes more than 300 points, was first approved at a Communist Party congress in April and would end the socialist society built under Fidel Castro's leadership. "The Cuban parliament today supported and approved the economic and social plans of the Communist party and Revolution" state news agency Prensa Latina said. Compañero Raul Castro ...Fidel's little brother... , the Cuban president, and other senior party and government officials presided over Monday's session to which foreign journalists were not invited. He first replaced his ailing brother Fidel five years ago, becoming president in 2008. |
