Miguel Diaz-Canel - report
First Secretary of the Communist Party of Cuba and 17th president of Cuba
Miguel Mario Díaz-Canel y Bermúdez is a politician and engineer who is the 3rd and current first secretary of the Communist Party of Cuba. As first secretary, he is the most powerful person in the Cuban government. Díaz-Canel succeeds the brothers Fidel and Raúl Castro, making him the first non-Castro leader of Cuba since the revolution. Díaz-Canel's leadership thus represents a non-dynastic form of succession for the party as well as for the state, and the end of Castro leadership in Cuba.
