Analysts say the highly centralized and opaque structure of power in Cuba makes it difficult to identify who could lead a political transition on the island, even as Washington signals talks with figures inside the government and speculation grows about possible changes under pressure from the United States, according to a new report.
"The regimes that are totalitarian are very opaque and it is impossible to guess who could play the role of Delcy Rodríguez in Cuba," Sebastián Arcos, interim director of the Cuban Research Institute at Florida International University, told Spanish news agency EFE.
