Will 2010 usher in a new "El Maleconazo" (the most significant demonstration of social unrest in the island), which occurred on the streets of Havana's famous seawall in August, 1994.
Infolatam analyzes the precarious economic and political situation be facing the Castro regime the year ahead:
Cuba will live a very difficult year in 2010 due to an economic crisis drowning the Castroite regime. Raúl Castro will introduce cuts to social programs reducing costs that could ultimately cause protests to become a reality. Two great unknowns of the year will center on Fidel Castro’s state of health and how advanced will talks be with the Obama administration.
Since Fidel Castro fell ill in 2006 there has been constant talk of the possibility for a push of political and economic reforms on the island.
The economic situation is especially quite worrisome as the regime confronts a clear lack of production, economic model efficiency, and a grave liquidity crisis caused by a shortage of money.
