"To my dear compatriots, who gave me the immense honor in recent days of electing me a member of parliament ... I communicate to you that I will not aspire to or accept ... the position of president of council of state and commander in chief," Castro said in a statement published on the Web site of the Communist Party's Granma newspaper.

FUGO's CEO, Hugo Cancio has many contacts and plans in Cuba. Curious to see what develops here.
