The question to the political and electoral Cuban system, one of the fundamental pillars of the enemy campaign constitutes against our country, laddered for EE.UU. The activity against Cuba as regards democracy and human rights, doesn't only constitute the main tool of United States to be about "legitimating" its politics of hostility and aggression toward Cuba; but rather he also responds to the interest of the main capitalist industrialized countries of imposing to the countries in development a model of political organization that facilitates the dominance.

In their campaign against Cuba, Washington seeks to demonstrate the incompatibility of the political system that establishes the Constitution of the country with the norms internationally accepted as regards democracy and human rights, and to manufacture the image of an intolerant society that doesn't allow the most minimum diversity and political plurality. For it has it powerful propaganda instruments and considerable resources that it uses for the recruitment, organization and financing of groups contra revolutionaries that it presents as “political opposition”, so much inside as outside of the country.

The manipulation of the concept of the democracy for the main powers Westerners has reached very dangerous magnitudes recently. Those that move away from the democratic pattern that you/they praise, of the patterns and values that promote, are not only subjected to the question and the infuriate through the propaganda and the international institutions that control the call "defense of the democracy", but rather they also transform into potential "victims" of the intervention doctrine that develop the imperialistic powers.
Cuba defends and it supports the right from the towns to the free determination, grateful internationally as an inalienable right in the consent reached in the World Conference of Human rights, taken place in Vienna, in 1993. In the own Declaration and Program of Action of Vienna settled down, also that "the democracy is based in the will of the town, freely expressed, to determine its political, economic, social and cultural own régime, and in their full participation in all the aspects of the life", and the importance "of the national and regional particularities was recognized, as well as of the historical, cultural diverse patrimonies and religious."
It is on the base of these postulates, unknown openly for those who try to impose their models as "only" that the political Cuban system, a chosen model is erected and defended by the own Cubans, genuinely autochthonous and authentic, based in the equality and solidarity between the men and women, in the independence, the sovereignty and the social justice.
Our country already met the pattern that today tries to impose him, the sad experience of the system "multi-partisan" already lived and "representative" that United States prescribed him, and that he resulted in the external dependence, the corruption, the illiteracy and the poverty of the population's wide sectors, the racism, in summary, the complete negation of the more elementary individual and collective, included rights the right to some truly free and democratic elections.
This system and the political permanent North American injerencist, ruling thieves didn't only procreate and corrupt, but rather they gestated tyrannical and murderous, promoted and leaning dictatorships directly for the government from the United States.
For everything it, the Cuban Revolution could not assume this system if he truly wanted to solve the wrongs inherited product of this. This way, the country was buried in designing its own model, for that which poked in its own roots and he went to the social, humanist and patriotic thought of the most illustrious eminent persons in the Cuban nation.
Him first that would be necessary to underline, then, to explain the political Cuban system, it is that our model is not cared, he was never a copy of the Soviet pattern neither of the existent one in the socialist countries in that moment, like they wanted to make see the enemies of the Revolution. The political system of Cuba is born and he belongs together with becoming of the historical evolution of the political-social process of the Cuban nation, with its successes and mistakes, with its advances and setbacks. The fact that the formation and development of the Cuban nation during their 130 years of existence it has hardly faced practically the external and internal same factors, it favored a coherent history, allowing to develop the idea of building a nation forged by the own Cubans.
The existence of a single party in the Cuban system is certain, among other, for historical and contemporary factors. Our Party, is the historical continuity of Revolutionary Cuban Party been founded by José Martí to unite to the whole town with the objective of reaching the absolute independence of Cuba. Those factors that gave origin to this Party, to liberate Cuba and to impede their annexation to the United States, they are the same ones that are present today when our town faces an economic, commercial and financial strong blockade and other hostile actions that have as objective to depose the government and to destroy the system established in the country by sovereign decision of all the Cubans.
Our Party develops its mediating work the persuasion, the convincing and in narrow and permanent linking with the masses, and the decisions that it adopts are only of obligatory execution for its militants. Not it is an electoral party and it is only prohibited him/her not to nominate candidates, but participating in any other moment of the electoral process. This conception and this practice, they guarantee that in a system where a single party exists, it is developed and prevail the widest plurality of opinions.
Characteristic of the political and electoral Cuban system:
1 - All the citizens’ universal, automatic and gratuitous inscription with right to the vote, starting from the 16 years of age.
2 - Candidates postulation directly for the own voters in public (in many countries they are the political parties those that nominate candidates) assemblies.
3 - Nonexistence of electoral discriminatory, millionaire, offensive, scandalous and manipulated campaigns.
4 - Total cleaning and transparency in the elections. The urns are guarded by children and pioneer youths, they are sealed in the population's presence, and the count of the votes is made in a public way, being able to participate the national and foreign press, diplomats, tourists and everybody who wants it.
5 - Obligation that all the elect ones are it for majority. Candidate is only elect if he obtains more than 50% of the valid emitted votes. If this result is not reached in the first turn, they will go at second o'clock both that more votes obtained.

6 - The vote is free, same and secret. All the Cuban citizens are entitled to choose and to be chosen. As there is not list of parties, it is voted directly by candidate that is wanted.
7 - All the representative organs of the Power of the State are chosen and renewable.
8 - All the elects have to surrender bill of their performance.
9 - All the elects can be revoked in any moment of their command.
10 - The deputies and delegates are not professional, therefore they don't charge wage.
11 - High participation of the town in the elections. In all the electoral processes that have taken place from the year 1976, they have participated more than 95% of the voters. In the last elections for Deputies in 1998 they voted 98, 35% of the voters, they were valid 94, 98% of the emitted votes, 1, 66% of the tickets was annulled and only deposited in white 3, 36%.
12 - The Deputies to the National (Parliament) Assembly are chosen for a 5 year-old command.
13 - The Parliament's integration is representative of the more dissimilar sectors of the Cuban society.
14 - A deputy is chosen by each 20 000 inhabitants, or fraction bigger than 10 000. All the municipal territories are represented in the National Assembly, and the nucleus bases of the system, the electoral district, participates actively in its composition. Each municipality will choose as minimum two deputies, and starting from that figure, they will be chosen as many deputies as inhabitants proportionally they exist. 50% of the deputies must be delegated of the electoral districts, which have to live in the territory of the same one.
15 - The National Assembly chooses, from among its Deputies, to the Council of State and the President of the same one. The President of the Council of State is Boss of State and Boss of Government. He wants to tell it that the Cuban Government's Boss has to undergo two electoral processes: first have to be elect as having deputed by the population, for the free, direct and secret vote, and later for the Deputies, also for the free, direct vote and I secrete.
16 - To the being the National Assembly the Supreme Organ of the Power of the State and to be subordinate to her the legislative functions, executives and judicial, the Boss of State and of Government it cannot dissolve it.
17 - The legislative initiative is multiple actors of the society patrimony, not only of the deputies, of the Supreme Tribunal and the Prosecutor's office, but also of the union, student organizations, of women, social and of the own citizens, being required in this case that exercise the initiative legislative 10 000 citizens as minimum that they have the condition of voters.
18 - The laws undergo the majority vote of the Deputies. The specific of the Cuban method is that a law is not taken to the discussion of the Plenary one until so much, by means of consultations reiterated the deputies and keeping in mind the proposals that they have made, be clearly demonstrated that the majority consent exists for its discussion and approval. The application of this concept acquires bigger relevance when it is about the population's participation, jointly with the deputies, in the analysis and discussion of strategic matters. In those occasions the Parliament moves to the labor, student and rural centers, being made reality the direct and participatory democracy.
That expressed until here it shows the essence of the Cuban democracy, of the system that has instituted, countersigned and it supports the immense majority of the Cubans.

However, we don't seek to have reached a level of democratic perfect development. The main quality of the political Cuban system is its capacity for the constant improvement in function of the necessities outlined for the realization of a full, true and systematic participation of the town in the address and the control of the society, essence of all democracy.
