HAVANA, Oct 8 (BelTA - Prensa Latina) - In schools, workplaces, and institutions across Cuba, people are commemorating the legacy of Ernesto Che Guevara, as the 58th anniversary of his capture and assassination in Bolivia is commemorated today.
With the customary tributes throughout the country, a day of exhibitions, discussions, roundtables, and forums begins on the work of the man recognized here as the Heroic Guerrilla.
The central province of Villa Clara, and especially its capital, Santa Clara, whose liberation was led by Che Guevara, will host the main commemorations, as usual.
The mausoleum that houses his remains and those of the fighters killed alongside him in Bolivia is located in that city.
Ernesto Che Guevara, a doctor by profession, was part of the Granma yacht expedition that landed in eastern Cuba in 1956 with the aim of removing then-President Fulgencio Batista from power. The expeditionaries considered him a dictator and held him responsible for the country's misdeeds.
Having become one of the guerrilla leaders, he descended from the Sierra Maestra Mountains and, following Batista's escape and the triumph of the forces commanded by Fidel Castro, held various positions in the years following January 1, 1959.
He served as president of the National Bank, director of Industrialization at the National Institute of Agrarian Reform, minister of industry, and head of Cuban diplomatic delegations to various world conferences.
Notable among his responsibilities was his participation in the development and founding of the Latin American News Agency Prensa Latina, whose objective, according to its founders, was to respond to the media manipulation of the latent process of change in Cuba.
His humanist ideals, according to the guerrilla fighter's own memoirs, led him to the Congo and Bolivia—where he died—to promote, through armed insurgency, political and social transformations in those states.
All of this will be discussed in various ways this Wednesday, the first date of the Camilo-Che Day celebration, which takes place every October and concludes on the 28th, another anniversary of the physical disappearance of Commander Camilo Cienfuegos.
