 SANTIAGO - Cuba’s ailing leader Fidel Castro, not seen in public since surgery nearly six months ago, is on the mend, his son and namesake Fidel Castro Diaz-Balart told local media during a visit to Chile, the El Mercurio newspaper reported on Sunday. ‘He’s getting better, better, I see him improving,’ Castro Junior, also known as ‘Fidelito’ because of how much he looks like his father, said after the inauguration of a scientific center in southern Chile on Saturday.
| "The rigor mortis is almost all worn off! That's a good sign, right?" |
His son said on Saturday that the Cuban leader was in a ‘positive and optimistic mood.’
| I'm positively optimistic that the old goat is gonna croak soon. |
The younger Castro, a physicist who studied in the ex-Soviet Union, did not comment further on his fatherÂ’s health.
