Transition Council

Cuba needs preparation — not chaos

Purpose

The proposed Council is intended to serve as a representative body for all Cubans and to be responsible for organizing post-regime governance and drafting policy.

A sudden regime collapse without preparation risks instability, fragmentation, and an institutional vacuum.

The purpose of a transitional coordination council would be to:

  • Ensure immediate administrative continuity

  • Stabilize essential state functions

  • Coordinate humanitarian response

  • Prepare and organize internationally monitored free elections

  • Restore confidence domestically and internationally

Preparation reduces chaos. Structure prevents power struggles. Stability protects the Cuban people.

Principles

Sovereignty of the Cuban People
All authority must come from the Cuban people and be subject to democratic ratification.

Limited & Temporary Mandate
The council’s role should be transitional only, focused on stabilization and the organization of free elections.

Institutional, Not Personal Authority
Leadership must be structured, accountable, and transparent.

Transparency & Anti-Corruption Safeguards
Clear oversight and financial transparency would be essential from day one.

Rule of Law & Constitutional Restoration
The transition must prioritize legal continuity and the rapid establishment of constitutional order.

Automatic Sunset Mechanism
The council would dissolve upon the inauguration of a democratically elected government.
