The fakest election in 47 years occurred in Cuba
According to impartial observers, such rigged and pointless elections had not been held in Cuba since 1976. Of course, Díaz-Canel and Raúl Castro received the most votes.
Four hundred seventy candidates, all communists, competed in legislative elections for equal seats in the National Assembly, like Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, minus the innocent romantic musical aspect. The bizarre staging of a fake democratic consultation with people oppressed for more than 64 years continues. According to the regime, the rate of absenteeism is at 30%. Human rights activists were targeted for persecution on election day, as the NGO Cubalex reports.
