Hi there,

It is the job of the press to cover power, not cover for power—to hold those in power accountable by documenting what's happening on the ground and amplifying voices at the grassroots. In this critical moment, as attacks on the media escalate, we must continue to cover crackdowns on dissent, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, public health and academic freedom. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Fidel Castro Appears in First TV Interview in 10 Months

HeadlineJun 05, 2007

In Cuba, Fidel Castro has appeared in his first television interview since becoming ill 10 months ago. On Monday, Cuban television showed a clip of Castro talking about his recent meeting with the president of the Vietnamese Communist Party, Nong Duc Manh.

Fidel Castro: “He is a very intelligent person with a lot of solid experience, with a lot of energy. He came to work, visited places of interest. It was a working visit, truly.”

Castro has not appeared in public since July 31, when he handed power to his brother, Raul Castro.
