Six anniversary of Fidel Castro's death

The historic leader of the Cuban Revolution, Fidel Castro, always present in the minds of his comrades, seems to be even more now in the face of the difficulties and challenges of the country, on the sixth anniversary of his death.

Havana, Cuba.- On an official visit to China, President Miguel Díaz-Canel expressed on his Twitter account that "no matter how far we are from Cuba, we always feel the Commander in Chief very much alive. His revolutionary legacy is already a heritage of Humanity. His ideas are not only alive. Every day they acquire greater value and relevance. That is how it will be."

For his part, Prime Minister Manuel Marrero said in a tweet "Fidel lives in the hearts of our people, in all those who defend their homeland, their sovereignty."

The many tributes to remember who is considered one of the most relevant political figures of the planet in the twentieth century and the first decades of the present will end tonight in Havana with an artistic evening convened by youth organizations on the historic steps of the University of Havana.
