Fidel Castro commemorations inspire mural in Argentina and new projects in Cuba
In Berazategui, Argentina, the Cuban embassy took part in the inauguration of a large mural honoring Fidel Castro on July 26, marking the anniversary of the Moncada assault and the centenary of Castro's birth. The artwork, created by artist Isaac Benapresy, involved numerous local political and social groups.
On the same date in Minas, Camagüey, Cuba, several socio‑economic projects were inaugurated under the "Nuevo Bello Monte" local development plan. The initiatives include a recreational centre with cultural and gastronomic services, a solar‑powered electric‑vehicle charging station generating 75 kW, a sports club, and facilities for vulnerable residents.
Historical photographs recall Fidel Castro's visit to Sancti Spíritus on July 27, 1986. During the trip he toured hospitals and medical schools, praised volunteer work, and officially inaugurated a clinical‑research hospital, accompanied by officials such as Jorge Risquet.
