Jorge Ramos is a well-know latin-american journalist in the US. He is said to be one of the 25 most influential 'latinos' there. He has recently written an interesting article about Mexico & Cuba. Check his website:

He writes that: "One month after the elections of July, 2, mexicans still do not know who is their elected president. And in Miami, 47 years alter Fidel Castro is in power in Cuba, Cuban exile does not know if the dictatorship is falling or whether it is just trying to renew itself for survival.
Mexican radio and television, as well as those from Miami and the official ones in Cuba are filled with experts and words' jugglers, who talk for hours and hours without saying much. Those that really know something – about the strategy of Lopez Obrador to grab power or about Fidel's health – are not talking. For days the news has been that we do not know anything. Today we know just a little bit more, that there will be a partial recount of the votes in Mexico and that Fidel has not died in the operating room after an acute intestinal crisis. But that much is not enough to know how life will be for Mexicans and Cubans in the coming year. Cuba with Fidel is not the same thing as one without. With Fidel repression will continue, there will still be political prisoners, the 'commander' is like the God of a monotheistic religion. Fidel will remain the absurd idol of those Latin-americans that want democracy in their countries but not for Cubans. With him, fear will remain in the island".
