Yesterday marked the official start of tributes to mark the centenary of the birth of Fidel Castro (1926-2016), which will culminate on August 13 next year. It will not be just a series of events to remember him, but an extensive journey of reflection, remembrance, and action that will review his political work, the ideas he defended, and the life of a man who, despite attempts by the global right wing to tear down his physical and symbolic statues, remains a reference point for millions.

Today marks the beginning of Fidel Castro’s centenary—a hundred years since the birth of the historic leader of the Cuban Revolution.

Cuban Diplomats martyred by the Argentine dictatorship.
In these times when recent memory is eroded, national history is denied and divided into camps, and patriotism is questioned and relegated to a synonym for material well-being and temporary shortages, it is an act of justice to evoke the epic deeds of two young Cubans diplomats, aged 22 and 26, who 49 years ago left us a legacy of courage.
