Juan Carlos Robinson has been faulted with "arrogance, dishonesty, and abuse of power." (I feel like all politicians but Jimmy Stewart's fictional Mr. Smith are guilty of this.) Apparently the Cuban government is restructuring, supposedly to fight corruption. According to Cuban officials, emergence from the 'Special Period' requires increased vigilence over corruption. the increased risk for corruption is certainly there.
Disturbingly, "The Secretariat, which was disbanded in 1991, is being charged with ensuring that the party line is followed throughout the country, and indiscipline is stamped out." This does not bode well for Cuba's previous quasi- to mild improvments in human rights.
