Raúl Castro Makes Public Appearance Since Unofficial Reports of Recovery After Hospitalization
State television showed the 95-year-old former president beside Miguel Díaz-Canel as officials said he was stable after a hospitalization.
- On Saturday, Raúl Castro made his first public appearance in Cuba since recent hospitalization reports, attending a ceremony marking the 65th anniversary of the Ministry of the Interior's personal security directorate.
- The appearance follows reports from the Miami-based Diario Las Américas on Tuesday claiming Castro had suffered a stroke; Cuban officials remained silent, though sources told a news analyst his condition was stable on Thursday.
- State television showed the 95-year-old wearing his "General of the Army" uniform standing alongside Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel and his grandson, continuing to wield influence behind the scenes.
- Although Castro stepped down as Communist Party leader in 2021 when Díaz-Canel Bermúdez replaced him, he maintains a symbolic seat as a deputy in the National Assembly after serving as president for about a decade.
- A foundational figure in the revolution, Castro arrived in Cuba aboard the Granma in 1956 with his brother Fidel Castro and Ernesto "Che" Guevara, serving as defense minister for five decades.
