The president of Cuba Raul Castro sacked most of Fidel's cabinet, thus distancing himself from Fidel's legacy and signaling change in Cuba.
FT writes: that revealing this video and sacking most of Fidel's cabinet is not a good sign that everything is going well in Cuba. This is a reminder of Khrushchev unmasking Stalin.
"The video footage is drawn largely from a March meeting of the party political bureau and features Raúl Castro, the president, sacking most of the cabinet he inherited from Fidel, his ailing brother, including prominent figures such as Carlos Lage, vice-president, and Felipe Pérez Roque, foreign minister.
"The montage provides a rare glimpse of Cuba under Mr Castro, who formally took over from his brother in February 2008, and its main message is clear, say people who have seen it. Big brother is watching, and Mr Castro will not tolerate the slightest breach of party discipline, any cosying up to foreigners, or any hint of disloyalty as he attempts to put his brother's revolutionary house in order."
