CARACAS, Nov. 26 -- After Cuban revolutionary leader Fidel Castro died late on Friday at the age of 90, expressions of sorrow and support for Cuba came from every corner of Latin America, a region that was profoundly influenced by Castro's ideas.
VENEZUELA
Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro Saturday called on the people of the world "to rediscover" themselves following the example of Fidel.
In an interview with the Telesur television station, Maduro said that "we should rediscover ourselves in the example of Fidel, an eternal youth, eternal dreamer, eternal rebel, who never took one minute of rest, as per the Bolivarian oath."
Maduro said he had spoken with Fidel's brother, President Raul Castro, to pass on "the pain we feel. (This is) a hard blow for all the revolutionaries of the world."
He also sent his condolences to Castro's wife, and their children and grandchildren.
According to Maduro, whose predecessor Hugo Chavez was a close friend of the Cuban leader, "Fidel was a man of permanent direction, he never lost time...to give the example. I visited him every two months to follow the example of commander Chavez."
BRAZIL
Brazilian President Michel Temer stated Saturday that Fidel Castro was a "leader of convictions."
In a brief statement, Temer said that "Fidel Castro was a leader of convictions. He marked the second half of the 20th century with the firm defense of the ideas in which he believed."
