A staunch defender of equality and social justice, Fidel Castro, with humility and honesty, guided the Cuban people. Toward the full dignity of humankind without resorting to neoliberal solutions or shock policies. No matter how difficult the economic circumstances.
Through his example and the transparency of his political and ethical conduct. He demonstrated that the collective interest takes precedence over the individual. As an expression of responsibility and sacrifice for the common good.
