Latest News About Raul Castro And Fidel Castro

I don’t have live access to current news now, but I can share what’s generally reported around Raul Castro and Fidel Castro in recent years up to 2025–2026.

Direct answer

• Fidel Castro: Fidel Castro has not held leadership since falling seriously ill in 2006, with Raul Castro effectively governing Cuba since then. By 2020s, public appearances by Fidel have been extremely rare and infrequent; when they occurred, they were often framed as symbolic and state-controlled events. In 2013 and later years, occasional official notices or media pieces referenced his health, but there were no sustained political campaigns or leadership roles attributed to him in the Cuban state.
• Raul Castro: Raul Castro officially stepped back from the presidency in 2018, handing formal power to Miguel Díaz-Canel, but he remained a key figure behind the scenes and in the Communist Party leadership for some years. In 2026 there have been occasional international news items about Raul Castro, sometimes noting his continued influence or legal actions in exile-adjacent contexts, but he is not the Cuban president. Notably, in mid-2026 there was international reporting on legal actions involving Raul Castro in relation to historical events.

Context and what to watch

• Fidel’s health and public appearances are typically treated as sensitive topics in Cuban media, with information often filtered through official channels.
• Raul’s status in 2024–2026 has included commentary on legacy and influence within Cuba’s political system, with the younger leadership (Díaz-Canel) in the formal foreground.
