Congressman Diaz-Balart Statement on Castro Transferring Power

Congressman Mario Diaz-Balart released the following statement regarding Cuban terrorist dictator Fidel Castro transferring power to his brother Raul due to physical ailments:

"For nearly 50 years, this murderous thug has threatened global security with his terrorist agenda and has abusively oppressed the Cuban people. By transferring his power to Raul, he has made it clear that his health is failing - how severely, we do not yet know.

"This should remind us all that we must vigilantly focus on helping the oppressed Cuban people make an active transition from communist tyranny to freedom and democracy. I've always said that Cuba will be free, and that day is rapidly approaching."
