The Spin

Narrative A

Despite vows that he would return to his old life, González has too often been in the public spotlight as Fidel Castro godfathered him after his return. As the governing body usually unanimously approves nominations, the former flashpoint of US-Cuban tension is set to make his next step within national politics based on the symbolism of his past.

Narrative B

All candidates nominated for the National Assembly were an expression of the plurality and diversity of Cuban politics. All nominations from varying backgrounds were the product of a legitimate and democratic exercise, highlighting the strength and talent that Cuba holds in its population. González is poised for an engaging career in public service.
