It was thus that in 2008 Raúl Modesto Castro Ruz assumed the position of maximum president of the Caribbean island, a position that he would hold until 2018. It is from then on that power falls to Miguel Diaz Canel. Raúl combined taking the reins of the country with the general secretary of the Communist Party of Cuba (PPC), a position that he would not leave until 2021.
Upon abandoning the presidency in 2018, the Cuban people had as their maximum leader the first president in 60 years, not emanating from the Revolution or from the Castro family.
