THE LIGHT IN LATIN AMERICA
Only the Revolution can endure in time and space. However, it is not its duration what provides it with its strength: it is rather the depth of the will for transformation, in order to raise awareness especially on collective progress. This is what makes the Cuban Revolution an example to the world.
It is comrade Fidel Castro himself who preaches with the best example of dedication. With a leader like him, there is no place for bureaucracy. Nobody can prosper out of the Revolution when the leader refuses all sorts of honors, save that of serving to his people. We have been able to witness that.
We have assessed his value, his dedication to his people and his constant disposal to assume revolutionary leadership positions. He is an example to all of us. Cuba is the light of Latin America.
