Europe Warily Eyes Window of Opportunity in Cuba
Louis Michel, the European Commissioner for Development and Aid, leads an EU delegation to Cuba on Thursday, Feb. 6, to assess the political climate after the retirement of President Fidel Castro. When Fidel Castro stepped down as president of Cuba last month after 49 years in power, the main question asked by the international community was whether democratic change could be expected in the wake of his abdication. A European Union delegation travels to Havana this week to see for itself if a new climate exists where normalized ties and engagement can survive.
