Fidel Castro Rebukes US Provocation
President Fidel Castro denounced recent US government provocations through its Interest Office (USINT) at an improvised, informal talk with foreign and Cuban reporters at the city´s seadrive close to the diplomatic facility.

He had come to the Anti-Imperialist Tribune where construction work has speedily begun of what will shortly be Cuba´s response to the latest provocations. The current US diplomatic mission put up a large electrical ticker on the east side of its building facing downtown, from which subversive messages are beamed.

Opened to answer questions, Fidel Castro however gently refused to advance what was being built "because a surprise is always better". He strongly condemned that the USINT has become the center for counter-revolutionary operations, thus violating the most elemental rules of international law.

The Cuban president also offered to provide medical care to underprivileged US citizens and of those plans implemented in several developing nations of the world.

He highlighted that the world is in danger faced with the current US government’s arrogant attitude of fighting terrorism, but ironically gives shelter to confessed Cuban-born terrorist Luis Posada Carriles.

The statesman also denounced that the US administration is weighing the possibility of breaking migratory agreements signed with Cuba and is launching a group of measures to stimulate illegal exits on the basis of a so-called Cuban Adjustment Act, which he said should be suspended.

Questioned on the World Baseball Classic, he stated that Cuba would be there because when they arbitrarily barred the team from the tournament, everyone opposed it and finally they were forced to give the ok. “We will be there to compete and show our values,” noted the island’s leader.

Talking on international political issues, the Cuban president praised New Bolivian President Evo Morales for his serenity and equanimity, and his Venezuela counterpart Hugo Chavez for his struggle in favor of the poor and his anti-imperialist fervor.

Finally, Fidel Castro recalled the recently deceased leader of the Farabundo Marti Front for National Liberation in El Salvador, Shafick Handal, who he termed an impeccable and firm revolutionary.
