El hermano Obama: Fidel Castro scorns Obama's Cuba visit

Fidel Castro has broken his silence over President Obama's Cuba visit in a damning letter published in state-run newspaper Granma.

Fidel, who handed power to his brother Raul a decade ago, said Cuba didn't need any gifts from the "empire".

He described Mr Obama's words of reconciliation as "syrupy" and warned they could give Cubans a heart attack.

Mr Obama had suggested that it was time to bury the last remnant of the Cold War in the Americas.

In his 1,500-word letter, Fidel also reminded readers of the Bay of Pigs invasion of 1961, in which a CIA-sponsored paramilitary force of Cuban exiles attempted to take over the island.

However, the 89-year-old ex-leader also said his "modest suggestion" was that Mr Obama "reflects and doesn't try to develop theories about Cuban politics".

During his visit, Mr Obama invoked "a future of hope" for Cuba in an unprecedented live TV address delivered from the Grand Theatre in Havana.

He told Cuban President Raul Castro that he did not need to fear a threat from the US nor from "the voice of the Cuban people".

He also called for the lifting of the 54-year old US trade embargo against Cuba, a remark which was met by loud applause.

The embargo remains one of the main sticking points in US-Cuban relations but can only be lifted by the US Congress.

Mr Obama's visit to Cuba was the first by a president since the Communist revolution in 1959.

El hermano Obama

No necesitamos que el imperio nos regale nada. Nuestros esfuerzos serán legales y pacíficos, porque es nuestro compromiso con la paz y la fraternidad de todos los seres humanos que vivimos en este planeta

Los reyes de España nos trajeron a los conquistadores y dueños, cuyas huellas quedaron en los hatos circulares de tierra asignados a los buscadores de oro en las arenas de los ríos, una forma abusiva y bochornosa de explotación cuyos vestigios se pueden divisar desde el aire en muchos lugares del país.

El turismo hoy, en gran parte, consiste en mostrar las delicias de los paisajes y saborear las exquisiteces alimentarias de nuestros mares, y siempre que se comparta con el capital privado de las grandes corporaciones extranjeras, cuyas ganancias si no alcanzan los miles de millones de dólares per cápita no son dignas de atención alguna.........http://www.granma.cu/reflexiones-fidel/2016-03-28/el-hermano-obama-28-03-2016-01-03-16

  1. Fidel Castro ironise sur le "discours mielleux" de Barack Obama...

    Moins d'une semaine après le discours de Barack Obama à La Havane, Fidel Castro a réaffirmé, dans un texte publié dimanche dans la presse cubaine, que l'île "n'oublierait pas ses confrontations passées avec les États-Unis".

    Le titre courtois "Frère Obama" tranche avec le ton sarcastique du reste de la lettre écrite par Fidel Castro et publiée, dimanche 27 mars, dans le quotidien national cubain Granma. L'ancien dirigeant, qui fait part régulièrement de ses réflexions sur des faits d'actualité depuis son retrait du pouvoir en 2008, a raillé le "discours mielleux" prononcé mercredi 23 mars dans le grand théâtre Alicia-Alonso par Barack Obama. Le président américain avait appelé à "enterrer les derniers vestiges" de la guerre froide sur le continent américain et à "oublier le passé, regarder vers l'avenir ensemble, un avenir plein d'espoir".....france24.com
