Just because they have party offices in foreign countries doesn't mean that they aren't in Cuba.

Some of these party offices operating in "exile", particularly in Miami, are set up to undermine and discredit the native operating party. Cubans in Cuba take a dim view of foreign operating parties, so, setting up an office in "exile" by anti Castro groups is a tactic used to undermine and discredit the legitimate party operations in Cuba (because the "exiles" falsely claim that there are no legitimate elections in Cuba). Even Oswaldo Paya and Elizardo Sanchez (heads of their own domestic Cuban political parties) agree that this is a tactic used by so called "exile" groups to undermine the legitimate operations of political parties in Cuba that want to make changes in Cuba by internal Cuban political means. They both denounce these methodologies and foreign based "Cuban political parties".
