Raúl Castro reappears at public event, quelling health rumors

Former Cuban president Raúl Castro appeared at a public event marking the 65th anniversary of the Interior Ministry's personal security directorate, countering recent speculation about his health. The appearance, reported by state media, signals continuity in the ruling elite's public presence but does not alter the current power structure. It matters as a signal of stability in Cuba's leadership transition, though the event's controlled nature limits independent verification.
