Fidel Castro:
The Summit and the Lie
Havana - Cuban Revolution leader Fidel
Castro stated that some of the things
Nicaragua's President Daniel Ortega told him
would be difficult to believe if they
weren't being told by him and if they
weren't happening at a Summit of the
Americas.
"The odd thing is that there was no such
consensus on the final document," Fidel
Castro wrote in an article posted on
Thursday in the Cuba debate website entitled
"The Summit and the Lie."
"The ALBA group did not sign it; so it was
recorded in the last exchange with Obama in
the presence of Manning and the other
leaders on the morning of April 19th," the
Cuban leader stressed.
"Chavez, Evo and Daniel spoke at that
meeting with absolute clarity," he noted.
"It had appeared to me that Daniel expressed
a bitter complaint when, on the opening day
of the summit, he said in his remarks: "I
think that the time I am taking is much
shorter than the three hours I had to wait
in the plane at the airport," he stated.
"I asked him about that and he told me that
six high level leaders had to wait on the
runway: Lula from Brazil, Harper from
Canada, Bachelet from Chile, Evo from
Bolivia, Calderon from Mexico and he, the
sixth. The reason was the sycophantic
decision of the organizers to make space to
receive the president of the United States,"
Fidel Castro said.
