Fidel Castro's centenary and the victims of his legacy

As the centennial of Fidel Castro’s birth approaches, various political, academic, and ideological sectors across Latin America, including the Dominican Republic, are organizing commemorative events. These planned tributes include public exaltations, colloquiums, and various ceremonies intended to honor the former Cuban leader's legacy.

Simultaneously, the preparations have drawn attention to the perspectives of Cuban residents and those affected by Castro's governance. The discourse surrounding the centennial highlights a divide between organized commemorative efforts and the experiences of those who view his historical impact through the lens of his victims.
