8th Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba

The 8th Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba (CPC) was elected at the 8th CPC Congress on 19 April 2021.[1][2]

Plenums

edit

The Central Committee is not a permanent institution. It convenes plenary sessions between party congresses, and in this case between the 8th Congress and the 9th Congress. When the CC is not in session, decision-making power was vested in the internal bodies of the CC itself; that is, the Politburo and the Secretariat. None of these bodies are permanent either; typically they convened several times a month.
