Every one is given a deadline and checked against later coverage, and the score is published on the ledger — including the ones that miss.

  • Awaiting deadline 60% Continued Medical Isolation

    Raúl Castro remains hospitalized or confined to his residence, avoiding any public appearances or televised statements. The Cuban government maintains a strict media blackout regarding his specific medical condition, continuing to use archival footage or other officials to mask his absence from state functions.

  • Awaiting deadline 25% Controlled Public Reappearance

    The Cuban government orchestrates a carefully staged public appearance, likely at a low-profile political event or a symbolic gathering, to project stability and refute speculation about his incapacitation. Raúl appears alongside current leadership figures, displaying enough vigor to dispel immediate crisis narratives without revealing the full extent of his health issues.

  • Awaiting deadline 10% Resignation or Succession Announcement

    Amidst the pressure of the US indictment and deteriorating health, the Cuban leadership announces Raúl Castro's formal resignation from his remaining state positions. This move aims to consolidate power under current President Miguel Díaz-Canel and stabilize the regime's image during a period of political vulnerability.

  • Awaiting deadline 5% Diplomatic Legal Maneuver

    Cuban authorities file a formal diplomatic protest with the United States, accusing the US of 'political persecution' and 'health espionage' in response to the indictment. This escalates the legal conflict into a broader diplomatic incident, potentially involving requests for medical transparency or sanctions retaliation, drawing international attention to his legal status.
