 MEXICO CITY (AP) - Most people would be flattered if Forbes magazine estimated their personal fortune at $550 million — but Cuban President Fidel Castro is not, apparently, one of them.
Cuba's embassy in Mexico issued a stinging rebuke on Wednesday of the Forbes article without mentioning the magazine by name, calling it "a repugnant example of a campaign of lies" by "an American magazine of decaying credibility."
"It is a clumsy slander and a repugnant example of a campaign of lies perpetrated in the United States with the sole aim of justifying the criminal blockade of Cuba," the embassy said in a press statement.
