On the passing away of Fidel Castro: Statement by President Juncker

EU News 384/2016

Brussels, 26 November 2016

Fidel Castro was one of the historic figures of the past century and the embodiment of the Cuban Revolution. With the death of Fidel Castro, the world has lost a man who was a hero for many. He changed the course of his country and his influence reached far beyond. Fidel Castro remains one of the revolutionary figures of the 20th century. His legacy will be judged by history.

I convey my condolences to the Cuban President Raúl Castro and his family and to the people of Cuba.
