Elián González, the Cuban boy whose custody battle stoked Cold War-era tensions, has been nominated to serve in the island’s National Assembly, the communist-party daily Granma said Monday.
The newspaper referred to González, now 29, as “representing the most worthy of the Cuban youth.”
González’s nomination all but secures his post in the 470-seat National Assembly that meets several times a year to discuss proposed laws, which the body usually votes unanimously to approve.

Propaganda to children is extremely effective. I dread what the American children will become in 20 years.
It was important for the Cuban government to insure he became a prominent commie.
That moment is already here. This Nation will go full-bore socialist/communist before your very eyes; and, we won't be able to stop it.
