Cuban dissidents expelled from the island to Spain only days ago said on Tuesday that Fidel Castro’s retirement changed little but could bring a transition to multi-party democracy nearer.
Omar Pernet, jailed in a 2003 political crackdown but freed at the weekend after a deal with Spain, had mixed reactions to news that Castro will not seek a new presidential term. He has held power since leading a guerrilla war that ousted dictator Fulgencio Batista in 1959.
“I reacted with happiness that the executioner has relaxed his iron grip,” said Pernet, a frail 62-year-old who hobbled around a Madrid hotel room on crutches due to fractures he suffered in a traffic accident during a prison transfer in 2004.”*
