Cuban Grassroots Orgs Extol Fidel Castro
Rosales told Prensa Latina that Fidel Castro has been able to turn setbacks into victories, even in the most difficult times.
He recalled the attack on the Moncada Garrison in 1953, when many combatants were killed and others arrested, however it led to Fidel Castro”s “History Will Absolve Me” speech where he outlined the Revolution”s program.
Years later, when the Granma yacht touched land, Batista”s air force dispersed the members of the expedition, and with only a few men, the chief of the rebel army decided to continue fighting, he pointed out.
The former member of the General Command of the Guatemalan guerrillas also recalled crucial times after the triumph of the Revolution in 1959, such as the Bay of Pigs invasion and the October Crisis, where Fidel Castro”s stature was manifested.
“The leader of the Cuban Revolution has been able to face the world”s most powerful country for over half a century,” he asserted.
Referring to Fidel Castro”s decision not to aspire to re-election, the Guatemalan revolutionary declared he has always been realistic, conscious and lucid enough to make decisions in the interest of his people.
Rosales expressed his certainty that the Cuban leader”s thoughts will be a source for strengthening the ideological and political force, not only in Cuba but in all countries of the world.
