The unveiling in Caracas of a bronze bust of Fidel Castro, originally set for this week, has been postponed until April 30, the Venezuelan newspaper El Nacional reported Saturday.

It will rise outside the National Assembly building.

The bust is a replica of the one in the National Museum of Art of Belarus, created by sculptor Anatoliy Anikevich in 1973.

Gerson Pérez, a leader of the ruling United Socialist Party of Venezuela, said that Castro's historic character and the contributions of the Cuban Revolution must be recognized.

The honors will be multiplied, because a second bust will be erected in Haiti and a third one will be donated to the Venezuelan National Arts Gallery."
