100 years of Fidel Castro: a memoir of the lone trip of the CP leadership to Cuba

The article discusses the commemoration of Fidel Castro's 100th birthday in Chile, highlighting the diverse participation of leftist groups and organizations, including those involved in Chile's 2019 social uprising. These groups brought medical supplies, school materials, and other goods to Cuban hospitals and schools. In contrast, the Communist Party (PC) delegation was small, consisting only of its leadership. The article notes the limited impact of Castro's legacy among Chilean leftists compared to 10 years ago. It mentions that leaders of the Socialist Party (PS) and the Broad Front (FA) did not attend the event, with the PS expressing continued differences with Cuba and the FA rejecting any ties to the island. Former President Gabriel Boric has publicly called Castro a dictator, while some historical figures like Hortensia Bussi had previously advocated for democratic reforms in Cuba.

It highlights criticism of Fidel Castro as a dictator by prominent figures like Gabriel Boric and references past calls for democratic改革
