Cuban Communist Party expels intellectual for exposing corruption

Cuban Communist Party expels intellectual for exposing corruption

Esteban Morales is said to have been "separated from the ranks" of the
party over a bombshell article, which accused senior officials of
looting the state before it crumbled....Morales broke taboos with an
article in April that criticised unnamed, greedy apparatchiks. "It has
become evident that there are people in government and state positions
who are preparing a financial assault for when the revolution falls," he
wrote on the website of the state National Artists and Writers Union of
Cuba.

All of which poses an interesting question. To what extent are Cuban
elites preparing for a big change of one kind or another and are they
really doing so by dividing the state's goodies between them?
