Fidel Castro Congratulates Chavez for His Dignity and Ethics

Havana, Dec 4 (acn) Cuban President Fidel Castro sent two messages on 
Monday afternoon to Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez for the dignity 
and ethics he showed during a speech delivered by the South American 
leader on the early hours of Monday.

Chavez's speech came after the Venezuelan National Electoral Council 
announced the results of a referendum on a constitutional reform 
carried out in that nation on Sunday - which was not approved by a very 
slim margin.

"It was a 'veni, vidi, vinci' of dignity and ethics," wrote Fidel in 
the first of the two messages read by journalist Randy Alonso during 
the Round Table radio and television daily program, which on Monday 
focused on the referendum in Venezuela.

In the second note sent to Chavez on Monday afternoon, Fidel ratified 
the ideas he expressed in his reflections 'A People Under Fire' 
published by Cuban 'Granma' news daily in which he expressed that a 
magnicide or a civil war in Venezuela due to its vast reserves of oil, 
would generate a deep crisis in the world economy.
