On his Twitter account, and in a clear allusion to the U.S. government’s accusation against Raul Castro, Marrero said that “our people, who have given birth to extraordinary children, know where the truth lies. The integrity of the Army General is beyond question.”

On the same platform, the head of government affirmed that “Raul (Castro) can indeed be accused of being dignified, modest like his name, firm, humane, a father of a family and of the Revolution, a Fidelista, the greatest of all.”

Likewise, Marrero expressed, “he can indeed be accused of being an example.”

On the matter, the Cuban Revolutionary Government issued a statement condemning in the strongest terms what it called the despicable accusation by the United States Department of Justice, announced on May 20 and foreshadowed for several weeks, against Army General Raul Castro Ruz, leader of the Cuban Revolution.
