“The 26 of July is a sad date for imperialism; it is a painful date for Yankee imperialists, for the foreign monopolies, for the major landowners, for the great industry and finances magnates, for the big speculators, for the big gamblers, for the big contrabandists; it is a painful, sad date for all those big generals who used to act as if they owned the country; it is a painful, sad date for the politicians; it is a painful, sad date for the big criminals; it is a painful, sad date for all the enemies of the people. And, of course, the Revolution is painful and sad for all those who have seen their privileges vanish with the laws passed by the Revolution; those are the ones that feel worried about the26 of July.”
