Castro and opposition groups face Madrid after death of Fidel

USPA NEWS - Castro and anti-Castro groups clashed this Saturday at the gates of the Cuban Embassy in Madrid, after the death of Fidel Castro. The Police had to intervene to separate the two groups, who were leading separate demonstrations that were found in front of the diplomatic legation.

The rain that fell throughout Madrid on Saturday did not discourage supporters of the Castro regime and its detractors. Both groups had called for demonstrations, some to celebrate the death of Fidel Castro and others to pay tribute to the last revolutionary of the twentieth century, whose death, which occurred on Friday night, met at dawn in Spain. The Castro and opposition groups met on the Paseo de La Habana in Madrid, in front of the Cuban Embassy in the Spanish capital, where they came to physically assault, forcing the Spanish riot Police to intervene to separate them.

The Police seized president of Cuban Democracia Ya, an anti-Castro organization made up of opponents of the Cuban regime, bottles of champagne with which Rigoberto Carceller intended to offer "not for the death of Fidel, God forgive", but because "today begins a new stage for Cubans." For anti-Castro groups, the Cuban regime is dictatorial and criticize the Spaniards who support the Havana Government because "they are only interested in going to the island to enjoy" its beaches. In front of them, Castro's groups, who highlighted the social progress of the Cuban regime in education and health, chanted slogans such as "Cuba, Fidel and El Ché" and "The Revolution Lives."
