Fidel Castro sent a message of
congratulations to Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras for his victory at the
referendum held in the European nation.
In his message Fidel says that Greece is a
very familiar nation to the Cuban people, who learned from that country
subjects such as Philosophy, Arts and Ancient Sciences during school years and
with those, the most complex of all human activities, which is arts and the
science of politics.
Fidel says that Greece, and particularly
its courage in the current scenario, sparks admiration among Latin American and
Caribbean countries as they see how Greece in the face of foreign aggressions,
defends its identity and culture.
The Cuban leader also recalls that a year
after Hitler attacked Poland, Mussolini ordered its troops to invade Greece,
but that valiant nation rejected the aggression and forced the invaders to
withdraw, which led to the deployment of German armored military units towards
Greece, deviating from the original target.
Cuba knows the braveness and the combat
capacity of Russian troops, which allied to the forces of powerful China and
other nations of the Middle East and Asia, will always try to prevent war, but
they will never allow any military aggression to take place without giving a
strong and devastating response, Fidel pointed out.
And he concluded by noting that in the
current political world scenario, when peace and human survival hang by a
thread, each decision must be careful designed and implemented more than ever
before, so that nobody can doubt about the honesty and responsibility with
which many of the most committed and responsible leaders are fighting to face
the calamities threatening the world.
Fidel wished the Greek Prime Minister,
describing him as most esteemed comrade, the best success.
