Cuba pays tribute to Alberto Delgado

 SANCTI SPIRITUS, Cuba, Mar 26 (ACN) “In Alberto Delgado we find the virtues of an upright, brave and resolved revolutionary beyond reproach who was faithful to his ideals, which are walls and lights in these difficult times and an example to be followed by the new generations”, were the words pronounced as a tribute to the hero known as “The man from Maisinicú” in a ceremony held on the occasion of the 66th anniversary of the State Security Organs in the town of Trinidad, near the spot where he was vilely murdered by Cheíto León's counterrevolutionary gang.

Members of the Ministry of the Interior laid a wreath at the monument built in memory of Alberto Delgado a few kilometers from Trinidad and then shared views with young students, combatants, scholars of the history of banditry in Cuba, and representatives of the Communist Party and other organizations.

Yara Aróstica, director of the National Museum of the Fight Against Bandits in Trinidad, recalled the life of the exceptional revolutionary whose merits earned him the mission to infiltrate the counterrevolutionary bands operating in the nearby Escambray mountains and pointed out that his work made it possible to eliminate large groups of U.S.-backed rebels who were trying to destabilize and undermine the nascent Cuban Revolution.

Deivy Pérez Martín, first secretary of the Party in the province, urged young people to study the life of Alberto Delgado and share his story as one of the many faceless men and women whose mission it is to safeguard the integrity of the Homeland.

Members of the new generations who took part in the exchange insisted on not letting these heroes or their deeds die and to follow with firmness, conviction and dignity the example of those who, like Alberto Delgado, made of the defense of the Revolution and the peace and quiet of the Cuban people their most honorable commitment.
