Party: No room in Cuba for 'subversion'

HAVANA -- Cuba's ruling Communist Party says economic reforms under new President Raul Castro won't lead to political changes sought by the government's foes.

The party newspaper Granma rejects calls by Cuban exiles and U.S. officials for a Western-style democracy, saying "there will be no space for subversion in Cuba."

Wednesday's editorial mentions a recent Miami meeting attended by U.S. Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierrez and the Czech ambassador to the U.S., Petr Kolar, who suggested more support for the island's dissidents.

The editorial says that "the Cuban revolution is not a house of cards, but rather an impregnable fortress."

Recent reforms include letting Cubans buy cellular phones and DVD players and stay in tourist hotels.
