A survey by CiberCuba regarding the future of the country, following the death of Raúl Castro, revealed that a majority of nearly two-thirds of voters expect continuity of the regime, and only a minority believes in the possibility of political or social opening.
The survey, published on our media's Facebook page, asked users: "What will happen in Cuba after Raúl Castro's death?"
Of the 2,698 votes counted so far at the time of writing this note, 63% chose the option "Nothing changes, the system remains the same," which confirms a perception of solidity in the regime's structure beyond its historical leaders.
25% favored "Internal Restructuring," suggesting that some of the respondents anticipate shifts within the elites, though without significant repercussions for the population.
Only 9% believed that Castro's disappearance could lead to "crisis and opening," while 3% were divided among a fourth option that was not described in the publication.
Overall, 97% of the votes were concentrated on scenarios of immobility or superficial changes, compared to a small sector that considers a real opening possible.
The survey also recorded 79 comments and 164 reactions, reflecting an active debate, but one dominated by skepticism regarding immediate transformations in the Cuban system.
A recent survey by CiberCuba showed that 83% of voters believed that the government should relinquish power, due to its inability to resolve the electrical crisis.
The survey, which involved nearly 6,000 participants, asked what the Cuban authorities should do in response to the ineffectiveness of the electrical system, and the response was clear: 4,960 opted for relinquishing power because they are unable to resolve the crisis.
In recent days, on a Facebook profile an unfounded and unsubstantiated rumor about Castro, who is 94 years old, was amplified.
The regime's hermeticism creates a vacuum that is filled with speculation and rumors, especially in a context where the death of figures like Castro is associated with potential political changes.
