“This November 25, I have to thank life once again for the extraordinary privilege of having allowed me to work with Fidel,” Prieto wrote on his Twitter account, who shared the hashtag #FidelPorSiempre.

Several phrases by the Commander-in-Chief, who died in Havana at the age of 90, were written on social media, recalling his eternal defense of the Cuban socialist project and the fairest causes in the world.

Of Fidel, as most of his people called him, the Cuban Institute of Radio and Television published: “(…) if someday we have to fight against a strange enemy or against a movement that comes against the Revolution, a handful of people would not fight but the whole people will fight.”

Meanwhile, the Fidel Castro Study Center tweeted: “I belong to the lineage of those who can hardly be arrested anywhere, not only because of the moral and conviction I have, but because of the history of my whole life, the one I know well, and it is not the one written by our enemies.”

Fidel Castro died in Havana on November 25, 2016, aged 90. His remains were buried at Santa Ifigenia Cemetery in the eastern Santiago de Cuba province.

His people and guests worldwide have visited the site to express respect and admiration for the leader of the Cuban Revolution.
