Chavez will be confounded by this photo montage. If Fidel is there, shouldn't Hugo be there?
ReplyDeleteI guess their definition of "messiah" is a bit different than my definition ...
ReplyDeleteInteresting to put pictures of Gallego Francisco Franco next to son-of-Gallego Fidel Castro. From Georgie Ann Geyer’s biography of Fidel Castro, Guerrilla Prince:
ReplyDeleteTo many people it seemed "natural" that Castro and Franco would have hated each other; one was a Communist, the other was a Fascist Falangist who had defeated the classic Marxist threat in the Spanish Civil War and then ruled his country with the iron hand of a Catholic caudillo. But such neat ideological classifications most often lie. As a matter of fact, the two twentieth-century strongmen with nineteenth-century roots in Galicia had been filled with admiration for each other for each other. They had yearned to meet, and when Franco died, Castro decreed a full week of official mourning in Cuba. There had been hints of their "odd caudillo" relationship.
Franco never participated in the American embargo of Cuba…. As a matter of fact, the two twentieth-century strongmen with nineteenth-century roots in Galicia had been filled with admiration for each other for each other. Even in the very first year of the Revolution, when the Cuban ambassador to Madrid, Jose Miro Cardona, met with Franco, he reported to friends that the austere little Spanish generalfsimo at the end had asked him, "How is Fidel doing?" Then Franco told him, his voice rising, 'Tell Fidel to give hell to the Americans!"
