(UNION CITY, NJ) – Following the death
of Cuban Dictator, Fidel Castro, the City of Union City’s Mayor, Brian P. Stack
and the Board of Commissioners are scheduled to hold a ceremony to raise the
Cuban flag in solidarity with the millions of Cubans around the world who have
suffered under the Castro regime.
“We stand together with all Cubans in
Union City, Hudson County and around the world who have been enslaved,
impoverished, disenfranchised and suffered many atrocities at the hands of
Fidel Castro,” said Mayor Brian P. Stack.
“It is my sincere hope that Castro’s death will lead to freedom for the
Cuban people and subsequently a relationship with the United States. When the people of Cuba are finally free, we
will celebrate together.”
Hudson County is home to the largest
population of Cuban immigrants in the Northeastern United States. Cubans in Union City and all over the world
are rejoicing in death of the infamous dictator and have expressed hope that
real change will come for the people of Cuba.
Repressive laws have allowed for the imprisonment and even deaths of
thousands of political protesters and caused many leave their families to seek
refuge in the United States.
Union City will hold the Cuban Flag
Raising Ceremony at 4 PM on November 28, 2016 at 38th Street and
Palisade Avenue across from City Hall.
The Mayor and Board of Commissioners invite the public to join them as
they raise the Cuban flag in solidarity with Cubans all around the world.
