"Cuba passes law that bans naming sites after Fidel Castro"

Cuba's National Assembly approved a law on Tuesday that bans commemorative statues of Fidel Castro and naming public places after him, in accordance with the wishes of the revolutionary leader, who died last month. Castro always said he did not want a cult of personality, although critics point out that the cult was everywhere. His words are posted on billboards nationwide and his name is invoked at every public event. The best way to pay homage to "El Comandante" - the commander - is to follow his concept of revolution, the president said. The new law does not ban artists from using Fidel Castro's figure in music, literature, dance, cinema or other visual arts, official media specified. Photos of him hanging in offices, places of study or public institutions also may be kept. Every since his death, a large photo of a young Castro dressed in military fatigues, with a rifle and pack slung over his back, has hung from a building in Havana's Revolution Square. Castro, a leading Cold War figure who built a communist state on the doorstep of the United States and defied U.S. attempts to topple him, died on Nov. 25 at the age of 90, eight years after handing the presidency over to Raul.

^ Anyone who claims they don't want a "cult of personality" most likely does want one. The majority of people don't say things like that. Castro was a brutal dictator who became useless towards the end. That is the perfect revenge for a man like him. Cubans should now focus on trying to improve their lives and get out of the Communist yoke that has repressed them since 1959 than wasting time and money on statutes, etc. on Castro. ^
