Talk:Council of State (Cuba)

Aside from Felipe Roque and Carlos Lage are there any other members of the Cuban cabinet who aren't senior citizens? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.239.105.238 (talk) 02:00, 22 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Estaban Lazo Hernandez is a sprightly 63 (64 on Tuesday), but there are quite a few ministers younger than him. -- Beardo (talk) 05:03, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

Just out of curiosity, where did this information come from. I don't disagree with it or anything, I just wonder how it was found.--68.21.44.182 (talk) 04:19, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

council of state members
In light of Juan Almeida Bosque's death, the list of Council of State members needs to be updated. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.4.61.237 (talk) 19:14, 13 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Surely we need a list of current members, not a list as elected in 2008 with "replaced" or "resigned". Do we also want to preserve the list as elected in 2008 ? Or start with that list and show changes since ? -- Beardo (talk) 14:31, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

"K"??
What is the "K" column on the table? I recognize it calling out the females, but what are the green background symbols? 100.40.128.68 (talk) 23:29, 16 February 2019 (UTC)

There's also a ₪ shekel symbol, I think this maybe be the work of a conspiracy theorist calling out females and people of jewish(?) background? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:147:4300:CB1:80D5:9210:CA87:E148 (talk) 09:33, 21 July 2019 (UTC)


 * That column and the column "CIM membership" were both instroduced in 2018 by a user who was subsequently blocked and so cannot explain themselves. I think that mention of membership of the politburo is worth leaving - though I have no idea what CIM means. I will remove the K column. -- Beardo (talk) 18:50, 9 February 2020 (UTC)

9th Council
Is this numbering something used by the Cuban government. Does it match the National Assembly ?

I think that the members have changed. Is it still the 9th but with new members ? -- Beardo (talk) 20:28, 9 February 2020 (UTC)

Outright weird paragraph
"Members of the Council of State, which serve in the National Assembly, do not reflect popular outcomes in the elections. According to a 2021 study, under competitive elections, most members of the Council of State might have been defeated."

There's at least 3 issues here. 1) What study? Source should probably be placed around the end of that paragraph. 2) There's at least two widely held views of democracy afaik, "people getting their legitimate interests" and "people getting what they voted for". Is the study sufficiently aware of that? 3) The electability of persons does not in an intuitive way reflect onto the policy substance in the first place. Is the study sufficiently aware of that?
