Don’t buy the hype. Despite rumores going round that Cuban president Fidel Castro passed from this world, Fidel showed that he ain’t dead yet by making a surprise appearance at Latin American trade talks in Argentina.
Castro’s surprise visit to Argentina honors the induction of Venezuela into Mercosur, the highlight of talks that start Friday. The addition gives the South American trade bloc a decidedly leftist tilt a decade after it emerged during a wave of pro-U.S. free trade sentiment.
Also appearing at the summit is Bolivia’s socialist President Evo Morales and obviously Hugo Chavez. And look all three Latino leaders are nominated as VL’s most influential Latinos!
