The market resolves ‘Yes’ if Miguel Díaz-Canel ceases to be President for any length of time between November 18, 2025 and Jan 1, 2027.

The formal triggers are the only ones that count: a break in Díaz-Canel’s tenure within the specified window, an official announcement, or a journalistic consensus confirming the change.
