| dbo:abstract | The 2006–2008 Cuban transfer of presidential duties was the handover of the title of president and presidential duties from longtime Cuban leader Fidel Castro to his brother Raúl Castro, the next-in-line-of-succession person in Cuba, following Fidel's operation and recovery from an undisclosed digestive illness believed to be diverticulitis. Although Raúl Castro exercised the duties of president, Fidel Castro retained the title of President of the Council of State of Cuba and President of the Council of Ministers of Cuba, during this period. Fidel had been in power since Cuban Revolution and held the title of Prime Minister of Cuba since 1959. At the time of his operation in July 2006, he was 79 years old and the last governing communist leader from the Cold War era. Fidel felt proud to have not only thwarted the Bay of Pigs Invasion, failed CIA attempts to kill him, and acts of Cuban exile violence, but also outlived the Cold War and the USSR, and exhorting the Cuban people brave the crippling effects of the US embargo against Cuba (largely to whip up patriotic fury against the US) and the aftermath of the collapse of the Soviet Union. While the radical left (especially Hugo Chavez and Evo Morales) praised Castro as a tireless defender of the poor and oppressed in Latin America and Africa while standing up to US hegemony in the Americas, Fidel Castro's sworn enemies, namely the US and Cuban-Americans, saw him as a ruthless tyrant who broke his promise to restore democracy to Cuba by imposing a repressive communist government on the island that muzzled all opposition and wrecked the Cuban economy. On February 19, 2008 Fidel announced that he would not stand for re-election as President at the next meeting of the National Assembly of People's Power. Raúl was elected President by the National Assembly on February 24, 2008. Fidel Castro remained the First Secretary of the Communist Party of Cuba until 2011. (en) La transferencia de responsabilidades presidenciales en Cuba durante el período 2006-2008 consistió en la transferencia de deberes y obligaciones de la presidencia cubana de Fidel Castro al vicepresidente primero, su hermano Raúl Castro, como consecuencia de la operación y recuperación de Fidel de una dolencia digestiva indeterminada que se cree fue una diverticulitis. Si bien Raúl Castro ejerció las responsabilidades de Presidente del Estado, durante este período Fidel Castro retuvo el título de Presidente de Cuba, formalmente presidente del Consejo de Estado de Cuba. La transferencia de deberes y obligaciones, que fue anunciada el 31 de julio de 2006, estaba de acuerdo al Artículo 94 de la Constitución de Cuba, que establece que "En caso de ausencia, enfermedad o muerte del Presidente del Consejo de Estado lo sustituye en sus funciones el Primer Vicepresidente.". Fidel Castro había ejercido el poder desde 1959 y era Presidente de Cuba desde 1976. Al momento de su operación en el 2006, tenía 79 años de edad. Los detalles completos de su enfermedad no han sido revelados aún por el gobierno cubano, lo cual ha alimentado diversas especulaciones sobre la gravedad de su estado. Luego que un destacado doctor español visitara a Castro durante el mes de diciembre del 2006 y anunciara que el líder cubano se estaba recuperando de un problema digestivo, Castro comenzó a realizar apariciones ocasionales por televisión, radio y la prensa. Según el presidente de Venezuela Hugo Chávez, quien realizó varias visitas a La Habana durante la convalecencia de Castro, hacia abril del 2007 su par cubano estaba "recuperándose" y había continuado "con una buena parte de sus tareas". Ricardo Alarcón, Presidente de la Asamblea Nacional de Cuba, expresó que Fidel Castro estaría recuperado para competir por su reelección en la asamblea del año 2008. El 19 de febrero de 2008 Fidel Castro anunció que no se presentaría como candidato para ser reelegido Presidente en la próxima reunión de la Asamblea Nacional del Poder Popular de Cuba. Raúl Castro fue elegido Presidente de Cuba, el 24 de febrero de 2008. (es) Sebuah Pengalihan kewenangan presiden Kuba pada tahun 2006 sampai 2008 terjadi antara Presiden Kuba Fidel Castro dan wakil presiden pertama Raul Castro, setelah Fidel menjalani operasi dan melalui proses pemulihan dari penyakit pencernaan yang tidak dijelaskan detail. Walaupun Raul menjalankan fungsi kepresidenan, jabatan presiden Kuba tetap dipegang oleh Fidel. Pengalihan kewenangan tersebut diumumkan pada 31 Juli 2006, dan sesuai dengan konstitusi Kuba pasal 94, yang menjelaskan bahwa wakil presiden pertama Kuba memegang kewenangan presiden apabila presiden tidak dapat menjalankan tugasnya. Fidel Castro sudah berada di puncak kekuasaan sejak kemenangannya di Revolusi Kuba pada tahun 1959 dan resmi menjadi presiden sejak tahun 1976. Ia berumur 79 tahun saat operasinya pada tahun 2006. Setelah dokter yang merawatnya menyatakan bahwa Fidel mulai pulih dari sakitnya pada Desember 2006, Fidel mulai muncul di televisi, radio, dan surat kabar. Pada April 2007, Hugo Chavez yang mendatangi Fidel saat masa pemulihannya menyatakan bahwa ia sudah pulih dan memulai kembali tugasnya Pada tahun 2008, Presiden Dewan Nasional Kuba, Ricardo Alarcon, menyatakan bahwa Fidel Castro mampu dan layak jika ia memutuskan untuk menjadi kandidat di pemilihan anggota dewan. Namun pada 19 Februari 2008, Fidel menyatakan bahwa ia tidak akan lagi mencalonkan diri sebagai presiden di sesi Dewan Nasional selanjutnya. Pada 24 Februari 2008, Raul Castro secara resmi terpilih menjadi presiden Kuba, menggantikan Fidel. (in) |
