MESSAGE FROM FIDEL ON HIS BIRTHDAY
“I feel very happy”
On his 80th birthday, President
Fidel Castro has sent out an encouraging message on
his state of health, which has considerably
improved. He confirms that the country is running
perfectly well. “I promise everyone who has wished
me good health that I will fight for it.”
Dear compatriots and friends of
Cuba and the rest of the world:
Today, August 13, I have reached
80 years of age.
To say that my objective
stability has considerably improved is not to invent
a lie.
To affirm that my recuperation
will not take long and that there is no risk
whatsoever would be absolutely incorrect.
I suggest to everyone to be
optimistic and, at the same time, always be prepared
to face up to adverse news.
To my comrades in struggle,
eternal glory for resisting and overcoming the
empire, thus demonstrating that a better world is
possible.
Today, August 13, I feel very
happy.
I promise everyone who has
wished me good health that I will fight for it.
