Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel was named Communist Party head this week, cementing the generational changeover of Cuba's leadership, as the country battles an intense economic crisis, reports the Miami Herald. The move does not signal immediate political change, in fact, the theme of this year's meeting of the party was "continuity." But Castro's stepping down has strong symbolic significance: it will be the first time in 60 years that there isn't a Castro leading the country.
