The Revolution Square

The Revolution Square The Revolution Square, once again receives Fidel. It receives the man who has been there so many times to speak to the people. La Plaza de la Revolución, where he strongly denounced state terrorism, when the crime of Barbados.

Today, the Revolution Square is dark, silent, extinguished by the pain of a people who returns to his encounter. This time the voice of the statesman will not rise. Fidel’s image will not be with his accusing finger to reflect, to summon, to teach that a better world is possible.

The Revolution Square, today has a sad mission. It is the place for a ceremony that will mark milestones in the national history. Fidel will be there. Of course he will be. We will not see him smiling like he was on many May 1st. His people will not find him dressed in olive green. He will be in everyone's memory because his mark is indelible.

The last farewell will be in the Revolution Square, the place where so many times he dismissed sports delegations or deposited floral offerings with visiting presidents. Fidel, always Fidel. The Revolution Square honors and remembers the Comandante. Do not doubt it.
