In Cuba will require developing a new Constitution; short and simple, without falling in details and casuistry. Its development should be carried out by specialists and subjected to a referendum. Besides dogmatic and organizational sections there must be provisions in terms of territorial organization of the State, economic policy and public finance, and a system to amend the Constitution. The rest of the legal framework should be left to secondary legislation. Change, repeal and replace the current repressive and authoritarian laws is required, such as the Penal Code; it will have enact others according to the new Magna Carta, as a new organic law of the Judiciary and Electoral Act under which legal framework guarantees the realization of free, fair, just and equitable elections to ensure a future of democracy and rule of law for the island.
