Former Rep. Lincoln Diaz-Balart dead at 70: Former south Florida congressman fought Fidel Castro regime
... The Diaz-Balart brothers hail from a prominent family of
prerevolutionary politicians who fled Cuba when Fidel Castro took power.
Their grandfather, father and uncle served in Cuba’s House before the family fled to the United States in 1959, the year of the revolution, when Lincoln was 5.
His father’s sister was married to Castro in the late 1940s and early 1950s, but they divorced and a falling-out between the families ensued. ...
May he rest in peace.
