Moonbats and social justice warriors still in mourning.
Santiago de Cuba (Cuba) (AFP) – The convoy carrying the ashes of Cuba’s late communist leader Fidel Castro capped an island-wide journey on Saturday, reaching the cradle of his revolution for a final rally before burial.
Tens of thousands of people cheered as the olive-green jeep that has pulled the cedar urn with Castro’s remains across Cuba since Wednesday rolled into Santiago de Cuba.
The ashes were paraded across the eastern city, stopping in front of a balcony where Castro gave a speech following his revolution’s triumph in 1959.
Like other crowds along the four-day, 900-kilometer (560-mile) trip from Havana, this one chanted “I am Fidel!” after a series of Castro speeches played on a giant screen.
The caravan passed in front of the Moncada barracks — scene of his first armed uprising in 1953 — and headed to Revolution Square for an evening rally.
President Raul Castro, who took over when his brother fell ill in 2006, will deliver a much-awaited speech during the massive tribute with foreign dignitaries, ranging from presidents to Argentine football legend Diego Maradona, who called Castro his “second father.”
After a nine-day mourning period, the remains will be interred on Sunday during a private ceremony at the Santa Ifigenia cemetery, where the 19th-century independence hero Jose Marti is buried.
