Cuba Rejects Miami Annexation

Havana
Cuba discarded Monday any possibility of the island being annexed to the United States, and said those any who support that option are on Washington's payrolls.
Entitled Neo-annexionism, Granma newspaper publishes Monday a comment which rejects this trend from some sectors that want Cuba to become the Union's 51st state with the name of Havami.

As a consequence of President Fidel Castro's disease, the initiative, dated from some years ago, took strength in south Florida, where an extremist group celebrated the statesman's health problems.

On July 31, the Cuban leader informed through a proclamation the temporary delegation of his state responsibilities to First Vice President Raul Castro, and talked to the people about his health.

While the island carried on normality, wishes for the president prompt recovery have been multiplied, while a "transition" was pushed from Miami and the White House, which the island silenced with more unity and commitment to defend the Revolution.
