Pelosi Statement on Resignation of 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.”
