Com. Fidel Castro is no more. He expired yesterday at the age of 90. About 45 years ago the American government and American media spread a rumour that Castro died due to heart attack.Then, Fidel declared;
“I have a heart of steel.” He proved it.He was not an ordinary leader, not an ordinary politician.
Cuba has the highest population of elderly people. 20% of Cubans are above the age of 60 years.It will increase to 30% soon.In America, the elders get free healthcare etc. There are lot of facilities for them.But, they lack one thing: Company of their children and grand children. Elderly people are left alone. Loneliness creates many a problems to them. In most of the Latin American countries the elderly people are not cared for.
In Cuba, the elderly people stay with their children.Fidel Castro told the new generation; “They are not living in your houses.You are living in their Homes”. The Cuban Delegate to Barcelona conference of Trade Union International (PR) told:
“In Cuba, the government ensures social security to all. Monthly pension is guaranteed. Good relationship prevails between the workers and pensioners.Ministry of Culture has created a university for senior citizens….” [Page 25 of Pensioners Patrika No 14.]
It is because of Com. Fidel Castro.
WE SALUTE THIS MAN, A LEADER OF DIFFERENCE, A REVOLUTIONARY OF DIFFERENCE …
