Top dissident calls Cuban elections a “farce”

Leading Cuban dissident Hector Palacios Ruiz on Monday in Warsaw termed Cuba’s Sunday election a “farce” and said he believed “change will come soon” in his communist homeland ruled by Fidel Castro.

“Everyone knows Fidel Castro is the greatest impediment to democratic change in Cuba — everyone also knows he almost no longer exists,” Palacios Ruiz said at a press conference in the Polish capital launching a petition for the release of Cuban political prisoners.”*
