Berlin - In an interview, Bundestag President Norbert Lammert criticized
Sunday's upcoming elections in Cuba as a farce, noting the lack of any
opposition candidates on the election slate. "With only 614 candidates
for the 614 slots in the National Assembly, the point is driven home,"
Lammert said in an interview with Deutsche Presse-Agentur dpa.
He said it was the height of cynicism that the Cuban government defends
the system as one that spares voters the need to decide between
candidates whom they don't know. Lammert also criticized Cuba's refusal
to allow international election observers.
