Thus, when back-translated into English, the term used was not "Chairman" (on the precedent of similar institutions in countries whose languages have a chairman/president distinction, such as the USSR and <a href="/wiki/East_Germany" title="East Germany">East Germany</a>), but rather "President", from the shared etymology with the Spanish "Presidente". </p><p>On 24 February 2019, another constitution – Cuba's current – was adopted in a referendum.
