It affirms that his work and thought continue to be a guide and source of inspiration for present and future generations.

VFidel embodied, with strategic vision and profound humanism, the noblest ideals of the Revolution: the uncompromising defense of national sovereignty, solidarity, internationalism, equality, and social justice, El Popular emphasizes.
