"Nearly the whole world is mourning and posthumously paying a tribute of respect to Fidel, but the US president-elect and a group of people are celebrating," Morales said Sunday in a comment aired by Hispan TV broadcaster. The death of the Cuban revolutionary and former president was announced by incumbent Cuban President Raul Castro on Friday.
A funeral ceremony has been scheduled for December 4, and will be held at a cemetery in Santiago de Cuba. Cuba has received a flood of condolences from leaders around the world, including from Russian President Vladimir Putin and outgoing US President Barack Obama.
