Fidel to be a great-grandfather (again)

Talking about Fidel Castro's relatives (his sister Juanita has been in the news recently), the Spanish newspaper ABC reported Sunday that the 83-year-old Comandante is about to have a great-grandchild by his grand-daughter Mirta María Castro Smirnova, daughter of Fidel "Fidelito" Castro Díaz-Balart and Olga Smirnova (now divorced).
Mirta, 34, moved to Spain more than a decade ago and works as a professor at the Polytechnic University School in Seville, ABC explains. She holds a doctorate in mathematics.
"She never, or on rare occasions, alludes to her life in Cuba," the paper notes.
Mirta is married to a mathematics professor, by whom she has two sons. The paper does not say when the third child will be born but says the happy event will occur at Vírgen del Rocío Hospital in Seville.

Aahh...The children of papá or "los hijos de papá" as popularly called in Cuba, those sons and daughters of the privileged class. Not their fault who dad or mom are. But, generally speaking, life is easier that way. Not that some don't wish they weren't so genetically linked to the regime. However, they have a different lifestyle, alien to most Cubans on the island. Noticeably in recent years, the children are more and more finding ways to live their lives outside Cuba.
