Rubio Statement on Sham Cuban "Elections"

U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) issued the following statement on today's "elections" in Cuba:

"The sham "elections' in Cuba were nothing more than a predetermined charade by the Castro regime. With Raul Castro stepping down today, and his appointed crony Miguel Díaz-Canel taking his place, Cuba will continue to be an island imprisoned under the rule of an oppressive single-party political system. The Cuban dictatorship portrays this election as a step towards change, yet we all know that Díaz-Canel and the regime will remain an enemy of democracy, human rights and the impartial rule of law. If Castro truly wanted democratic change for Cuba, he would allow the Cuban people to determine their fate through free, fair, and multi-party elections."
