Communist Party of Cuba

The Communist Party of Cuba is the ruling political party in Cuba, established in 1965, following the Cuban Revolution led by Fidel Castro. It advocates for Marxist-Leninist principles, emphasizing socialism and state control of the economy. The party plays a central role in Cuba’s governance, with no legal opposition parties allowed, and it aims to promote social equality and provide citizens with basic necessities. The party's leadership has historically been closely tied to the Castro family, and it has faced criticism for restricting political freedoms and dissent. In recent years, it has begun implementing some market-oriented reforms to address economic challenges.
