Che Guevara represents resistance and his ideas have reached many people, said his daughter Aleida Guevara March during an interview published by the Spanish newspaper “El Pais” Friday.

Aleida was interviewed on a trip to Barcelona, where she attended several activities to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the fall in combat of the mythical Argentinean-Cuban guerrilla fighter in Bolivia, organized by Catalonia’s “Casa America.”

Questioned on the omnipresent image of Che, Aleida responded that when she is out of Cuba many young people talk of her father “like a flag representing resistance, a man whose ideas have reached many people.”

Talking on national current issues, Che s daughter said that “Cuba is blockaded by the strongest economic and military power of the world and that s why we have great difficulties, but we have survived without depending on United States or Europe.”

The culminating point of the campaign will be on September 12, which marks nine years of unjust imprisonment of the Cuban Five: Gerardo Hernandez, Ramon Labanino, Antonio Guerrero, Rene Gonzalez and Fernando Gonzalez.

Ivan Rodriguez, president of the campaign, announced activates in different provinces of the country until conclusion on the 12th with a concentration in Plaza Bolivar and a march on the US embassy in the capital.

A Cuban-American businesswoman in Havana censured trade and travel bans on Cuba by the government of US President George W. Bush, and explained they harm the US economy as well.

In statements for Granma daily, Maria Conchita Mendez, official of the Alabama port, lamented that US politicians are the ones who oppose beneficial exchange with Cuba.

Mendez, who attended the recent business round between Cuban and US firms, pointed out that Washington s official bans have reduced sales to Havana that are valuable to improve the situation of sectors in crisis.

“Bush s rhetoric does not match reality, and compassion toward Cuban families does not exist,” she said referring to prohibitions on the acquisition of Cuban biotechnological products that could save lives.
