Cuba's system of representative government, the Organs of People's Power (Ór- ganos del Poder Popular or OPP), began during the Cuban institutionalization process in the early 1970s. It was preceded by a system called Local Power (Poder Local), which was hampered by lack of structure and authority. The Mantanzas Provincial Assembly was piloted in 1974. In 1976 the system was included in the new Constitution and inaugurated in the whole country. The Local Organs of Peo- ple's Power (Órganos Locales del Poder Popular or OLPP) consists of 169 mu- nicipal assemblies and the nine provincial assemblies that oversee and monitor governmental, economic and social activities within their territories. Only the Na- tional Assembly (Asamblea Nacional del Poder Popular or ANPP) has legislative powers. 2
