Description: The collapse of communism in Eastern Europe and its disintegration in the USSR present Cuba's Fidel Castro with his most serious threat to date. The threat is political and ideological as well as economic. Even before these changes, signs of decay within the Cuban system were apparent. Growing evidence of the Cuban government's corruption and involvement in drug trafficking, combined with the Soviet-style show trial and execution of the popular general Arnaldo Ochoa Sanchez, indicated that the Cuban revolution and its leader had begun to lose their moral authority. The February 1990 election in Nicaragua, which produced a stunning defeat of the Sandinista government, focused attention on the fact that Cuban people had never had the opportunity to vote for or against Castro. As the crisis deepens, Castro will eventually be faced with a choice between using Cuba's already weakened institutions to mobilize and control an increasingly desperate population or loosening political and economic controls in order to raise productivity. Both alternatives pose fundamental challenges to Castro's continued rule.
