Pelosi Statement on Resignation of Fidel Castro |
WASHINGTON, Feb. 19 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Speaker Nancy Pelosi
issued the following statement today in response to the resignation of
Cuban President Fidel Castro:
"The resignation of Fidel Castro is a reason to hope that freedom is
closer than it was when he was the public face of an oppressive regime, but
is not a guarantee of a democratic future for the people of Cuba.
"As Cubans at home and those living abroad continue their efforts to
create a true democracy in their nation, all of us in the international
community should continue to encourage the aspiration of the Cuban people
for liberty - the fulfillment of which is long overdue."
