HAVANA -- Cuban President Fidel Castro sent a message of support to the new Argentine President Adolfo Rodriguez Saa, hailing his decision to redirect money from servicing its debt towards social programs, Granma reported Tuesday. Rodriguez Saa assumed the presidency Sunday after violent riots and widespread unrest that killed 30 people over the latest austerity measures taken by Buenos Aires to end 43 months of recession prompted the resignation of Fernando de la Rua two years before the end of his term. "The dramatic and shocking events experienced by Argentina, not to mention the challenge you and your government face, means you deserve the strong support of all the people of Latin America, the Caribbean and the world," Castro said. Rodriguez Saa on Monday launched plans to print a new currency and create a million jobs in the wake of a default on the country's 132 billion-dollar public debt, the largest in history. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
