Castro, Fidel (1926-2016) – rare document signedco-signed by President Dorticós

Cuban communist revolutionary and politician who was Prime Minister ofCuba from 1959 to 1976 and President from 1976 to 2008.

Document signed “FidelCastro” as Prime Minister and “Osvaldo Dorticós” as President. 1p., 8.5 x 11.0inch, Havana, Cuba 1960 December 31. In Spanish. Decree No. 2910. Also signedby the Minister of Communication. Impressed with official seals of office over Castroand Dorticós signatures. Slightly discolored,closed punch holes left margin, else good condition with excellent signatures. OnJanuary 1, 1959, Cuban President Fulgencio Batista fled the country, and FidelCastro, who had led a guerrilla struggle against the former leader, took overas Premier. He would hold this title he until 1976, when he became President ofthe Council of State and the Council of Ministers. Although Castro\'sMarxist-Leninist principles and alignment with the former Soviet Union isolatedCuba in the Western Hemisphere and antagonized the United States, his regimehas outlasted its former Soviet patron. Castro is now by far the longest-rulingstatesman in the Americas. Osvaldo Dorticòs Torrado (1907-1989) served asPresident of Cuba from 1959 to 1976. Dorticós, a Castro loyalist who has beenvariously described as a colorless figurehead, and as a competent administratorwith pragmatic tendencies, made headlines in a UN speech during the Cuban missilecrisis with the (false) claim that Cuba possessed nuclear weapons. When thisdecree was signed, Castro was moving toward open identification with communismand alignment with the Soviet Union, while the US would soon break diplomaticrelations, impose economic sanctions and initiate a clandestine effort tosecure Castro\'s overthrow.
