The elder of the Castro brothers and Cuba's most popular leader, Fidel Castro (86 years old), in a rare public appearance today, Thursday, 11th April, 2013, opened the Havana school for
140 children that he himself had asked be built, said the web site
Cubadebate.cu.
It showed photos of Castro dressed casually in a navy blue jacket and
blue and white checked shirt, talking animatedly to everyone present.
The event on Tuesday was supposed to be held outdoors, but because of
rain it was held inside, where Castro spoke for two hours with students
and teachers about global warming, weapons of mass destruction, the
economic crisis, fuel prices, food production and other current affairs,
the site said.
Since Castro was replaced by his brother Raul after leaving office
following a serious intestinal illness his public appearances since
then have been rare...which makes today's a significant one.
