Authors

Abstract

The article analyzes from a historical and ideological perspective the Cuban Constitution of 2019, with special emphasis on its political electoral system. After providing the political and ideological foundations of the socialist models of Eastern Europe in the twentieth century, the article goes on to characterize the political electoral model established in the 1976 Cuban Constitution as part of a continuity, to then assess the current Constitution of 2019 in terms of continuity or rupture.
