What is important is that everything
in the country is running and will continue to run
perfectly well
Fidel’s message to the Cuban people
and friends around the world
I
cannot invent good news, because that would not be
ethical, and if the news were bad, the only one who
is going to take advantage of that is the enemy. In
the specific situation of Cuba, due to the plans of
the empire, my state of health becomes a secret of
state that cannot be divulged constantly; and the
compatriots should understand that. I cannot fall
into the vicious circle of parameters of health that
constantly fluctuate throughout the day.
I
can say that the situation is stable, but any real
evolution of one’s state of health requires the
passing of time.
The
most that I can say is that the situation has to
remain stable for many days before a verdict can be
given.
I am
very grateful for all the messages from our
compatriots and many other people in the world.
I am
sorry to have caused so much concern and trouble to
friends throughout the world.
In
terms of my spirits I am perfectly well.
What
is important is that everything in the country is
running and will continue to run perfectly well.
The
country is prepared for its defense by the
Revolutionary Armed Forces and the people.
Our
compatriots will know everything in due time, as was
the case when I had my fall in Villa Clara.
We
must fight and work.
