R: Birthday Present for Fidel

["Marina Beccuti" <marina.b at inrete.it>]

Ciao Nello,

grazie di aver postato questa notizia, che trovo sia addirittura
sensazionale. Sicuramente il dibattito é aperto e direi interessante. Certo
se hanno dato il Nobel per la Pace a Kissinger ci potrebbe stare anche a
Fidel, ma immagino che sorgeranno molte polemiche a proposito, in quanto
Fidel, pur avendo molto seguito, é sicuramente un personaggio complesso e
pieno di contraddizioni. C'é da dire che la situazione cubana rapportata a
quella del resto degli altri paesi dell'area latinoamericana é sicuramente
migliore. Per il resto però manca una certa libertà, per cui candidarlo al
Nobel forse non é troppo ragionevole. Nell'insieme lo merita di più il
popolo cubano.

Un caro saluto.

Marina

feelings

international

> People from a number of other poor countries also receive free health

> Cuba has had more doctors and health personnel in the Third World than the

from

personnel.
