Workers, students and the population of all the provinces of Cuba will pay tribute today to their heroes in the context of the Camilo-Che Day, which will be celebrated until October 28.
The tributes began the day before with volunteer work in productive centers to remember the Argentine Cuban guerrilla, Ernesto Che Guevara, on the 56th anniversary of his capture and subsequent murder, in 1967, when he participated in the fight for the liberation of Bolivia.
In the central city of Santa Clara, a city liberated by Che's troops, tribute was paid to the man also known here as the Heroic Guerrilla, in the Memorial that keeps his remains along with those of his companions in the Bolivian deed.
These initiatives include talks, youth debates and patriotic events, among other cultural, sports and political activities, and will culminate with the traditional throwing of flowers into the sea, on the date of the physical disappearance of Commander Camilo Cienfuegos in a plane crash in 1959.
It was precisely Commander Ernesto Guevara, chief, friend and companion of Cienfuegos, the promoter of the beautiful tradition that summons Cubans every October 28 to the coasts, rivers and streams of the entire country to remember whoever they described as the Lord of the vanguard. The historical leader of the Cuban Revolution, Fidel Castro, led the first mass tribute to Camilo Cienfuegos from the reefs of the Havana boardwalk, in 1960.
The premature death of Camilo and Che while they were carrying out revolutionary missions made them symbols of commitment and dedication to the cause that began in Cuba on January 1, 1959, after the triumph of the Rebel Army against the tyranny of the dictator Fulgencio Batista.
