Fidel Castro Says He
Will Not Cling To Power
Cuban leader Fidel
Castro said on Monday he
does not intend to cling
to power or block the
rise of younger
generations.
"My primary duty is not
to hold on to positions,
or still less to block
the rise of younger
generations, but to pass
on experience and
thoughts," Castro, who
has rarely been seen in
public for a year, said
in a letter read on
national television.
The letter also
mentioned the
just-concluded UN
Climate Change
Conference in Bali,
Indonesia.
Earlier this month,
Castro, who temporarily
handed power to his
younger brother Raul
Castro a year ago, was
nominated as a candidate
for the next National
Assembly, a move likely
to keep him in power for
another five years.
