Pedro Téllez Valdés emerged as one of the young Cubans who would show the tyrant Fulgencio Batista the proximity of his accountability to history.
That event of blood and fire was the attack on the Presidential Palace, a risky action that did not meet the desired objectives. Born in Havana, Pedro Téllez was born on September 16, 1920. At the age of 10 he went to live with his paternal grandmother in the province of Pinar del Río. There he completed elementary studies and enrolled in the Professional School of Commerce. In the 40s of the 20th century, Pedro was linked to the revolutionary process against the governors. When the coup d'etat took place on March 10, 1952, his participation in the fight against tyranny became more active and he took every opportunity to express his repudiation against the corrupt political-administrative government of Batista.
Pedrito, as his friends named him, was reserved and respectful and did not admit impositions. He lost his job at the post offices, as he conducted a prolific opposition campaign against the signing of the statutes imposed by the Batista dictatorial regime.
Téllez, as a member of the July 26 Movement, planned to join Fidel in the Sierra Maestra. He could not fulfill his longing because death surprised him when he fulfilled the task of attacking the Presidential Palace; an action in which he demonstrated his merit as a revolutionary.
Unintentionally, Pedro Téllez Valdés forged as an audacious combatant, with firm decisions; of a man loved and respected by his comrades.
