Commenting on the death of Fidel Castro, the leader of the UK’s biggest union, Unite, Len McCluskey said:
“With the passing of another towering figure from the history of the twentieth century, this is the moment to remember what Fidel Castro achieved for the people of Cuba and Latin America.
“He saw off the corruption and brutality of the Batista regime and, despite the imposed poverty of the US illegal embargo, went on to create a country with the best health and education systems in the region.
“His Cuba inspired those seeking freedom around the world. This is the legacy for which he will be remembered.”
