Fidel Castro: The
Maximum Inspirer of
Socialism
Havana (Prensa Latina) -
Although he decided that
he would neither aspire
nor accept his
reelection on February
24, Fidel Castro will
continue to be the
Commander in Chief of
all revolutionaries.
Walking Havana streets,
Prensa Latina learned
that the city is calm
but, at the same time,
Cubans were shaken by
Fidel Castro"s message
on Tuesday.
Those asked by Prensa
Latina lauded the work
and total commitment of
the leader of the Cuban
Revolution in his effort
to build a just,
independent and
sovereign society.
Health worker Antonio
Gonzalez said Fidel
Castro would continue to
be "our maximum leader
and our maximum inspirer
in the defense of
socialism and
sovereignty." "I think
that, as always, Fidel
has shown his political
courage and confidence
in his people and in the
new man and women
created along these 50
years of Revolution,"
said Gonzalez, adding
that his reflections
published on local media
will continue to be
useful to the process he
started.
Gonzalez noted that the
Commander in Chief
himself prepared the
people for this moment,
and both the leaders who
have accompanied him and
the younger ones are
ready to assume the
responsibilities
resulting from his
decision.
For his part, employee
Eduardo Carvelli pointed
out that although Fidel
Castro is not officially
heading the government
and the State, he will
continue to be the soul
and guide of the Cuban
Revolution and our
Commander in Chief
forever.
Worker Olga Same noted
that the Cuban
president"s decision
makes him greater and
immortalizes him, and is
consistent with Jose
Marti"s thought that
"all the glory of the
world fits in a kernel
of corn." Journalism
student Sergio Alejandro
Gomez said Fidel"s
decision does not mean a
fault in the continuity
of the Revolution, for
which the younger
generations of Cuban
revolutionaries will
continue to fight.
He added that our
Commander in Chief"s
reflections could
contribute a lot to the
defense of our
independence and in his
frontal struggle against
imperialism.
He quoted Fidel Castro"s
message when he said,
"The adversary to be
defeated is extremely
strong; however, we have
been able to keep it at
bay for half a century." |
