Mexico City, Aug 14 (Prensa Latina) Admiration for Fidel Castro, "an extraordinary man, loved by the peoples and hated by the exploiters and aggressors," brought together hundreds of people in this capital to celebrate the Cuban leader's 84th birthday.
In a rally last night, Mexican anthropologist Gilberto López y Rivas highlighted the respect Fidel has earned and the hatred his rivals profess, and also the moral example set by the Cuban Revolution, capable of overcoming, defending itself, and enduring just 90 miles away from U.S. imperialism.
From Caracas, Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez wished the iconic leader of the Cuban Revolution, Fidel Castro, a happy 84th birthday, via his Twitter account, twitter@chavezcandanga. During the presidencies of Fidel Castro and Chavez, Cuba and Venezuela have grown very close, and that relationship is a pillar of the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America (ALBA).
The two countries now collaborate in agriculture, the fishing industry, and energy, and thousands of Cubans are providing services in education, health care and sports in Venezuela.
Meanwhile, in Asuncion, Paraguay, the 4th Social Forum of the Americas highlighted the ethical, humanistic, revolutionary and consistent virtues upheld throughout Fidel Castroâ�Ös more than 60 years of struggle.
Friends of Paraguay's Cuba Solidarity Coordinating Committee, intellectuals, artists, diplomats, and dozens of people from various Latin American and European countries, most of them young, attended the tribute.
The tribute included a photo exhibition by photojournalist Liborio Noval and the documentary "Elogio de la virtud" (In Praise of Virtue), by direcator Roberto Chile.
In Quito, Ecuador, a cultural fiesta, "The ALBA Sings to Fidel Castro and Osvaldo Guayasamín," was held at the Guayasamín Foundation's theatre in this capital.
The activity was organized by the Bolivian, Cuban, Nicaraguan and Venezuelan embassies, with support from the foundation, to pay tribute to the leader of the Cuban Revolution on his 84th birthday.
In Brazil, Cuban residents there and Brazilians in general also celebrated the Cuban historical leader's birthday on Friday night
