Chavez Accents Historic Role of
Fidel
President Hugo Chavez of
Venezuela highlighted the
historic role played by Cuban
President Fidel Castro, saying
the leader of the island´s
revolution "is one of those men
who never die."
Speaking to the Legislature in
Rio de Janeiro in Brazil, on
Friday, Chavez revealed he held
a half hour telephone
conversation with Fidel Castro a
few days ago.
We all must die someday, the
Venezuelan president said, but
Fidel is one of those men who
will never die, who will live
forever.
"We want him to recuperate, and
we have faith that he will
recuperate fully," he said,
recalling that the Cuban
president said in 1953, history
will absolve us (alluding to
himself as well).
Chavez said that it´s been more
than 50 years and "you [Fidel]
have been absolved by history, I
am beginning."
