Former president Havel criticizes lack of change in Cuba

Former Czech president Václav Havel has criticized a lack of real change in Cuba following Fidel’s Castro resignation. In a letter published by the Prague-based International Committee for Democracy in Cuba, Mr Havel and former Spanish Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar regretted that the stepping down of Castro was not meant to install democracy but to perpetuate tyranny. The Czech Republic has traditionally been very active within the European Union in promoting freedom and democracy in Cuba.
