(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.
Why would u honor a man who ran his country by killing ppl and god kbiw what else makes no sense this needs an explanation
Read the article please.
Exactly had you read you’d know it was for the Cubans who suffered under his regime not for Fidel !! Read before commenting
Maybe the headliner should of explained that learn how to post before posting
Im not Cuban so I was defending those who suffered but like I posted in another post im glad Hudson TV politely told me to read the article as I did and I understand now
Does this mean they all going bak
Now that I read the article I understand and im glad u responded in telling me to read the arricle. Maybe it should of explained it a bit better as a headline my opinion
I agree, the headliner should’ve said something different. 🙁
I don’t care about the article, Brian Stack is a great mayor, the best nj has ever known. I’ve seen him pay for burials for the underprivileged, spend hours of his personal time helping all races of people, pay rent for people in need, give people jobs and an opportunity to reform themselves, and make a lot of sacrifices for the people of his town. Unlike many other mayors he keeps his word.
Thank you Mayor!!!
