Latinobarómetro published this week its current survey on the state of democracy in Latin America, however, the Cuban population did not take part in it, but the perception of the regime is object of analysis.
Latin Americans give Cuba a 4.1 on a scale of 10, the lowest score given to the countries measured.
Evaluation of leaders
Fidel Castro is the worst rated leader scoring 4 on a scale of 10 (0 being the worst; 10 very good), only ahead of Hugo Chávez.
How democratic is Cuba?
Of the 12 countries gauged, the majority of the population rejects what is called democracy in Cuba as “not democratic”. El Salvador, Nicaragua and Guatemala are the only countries evaluating the Cuban system as less negative.
