Cuban people bids farewell to our leader
La Plaza de la Revolucion witnessed the journey that you take towards eternity, you do not go by car, you will sail once more on the Granma Yacht by the hands of the martyrs of November 30th, 1956. Wait! Frank País will help you, he offers his arms and will accompany you on the way to the Cuba’s Heroic City, your Santiago. You will be forever in the custody of Martí, that legendary fighter who guided your thoughts and actions, along with so many men of our history who await anxiously to join your giant stature. I take the words of the President of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, when he said: "Commander, mission accomplished, mission accomplished, Yes, full and splendidly fulfilled!
Cuba is Fidel. And it was ratified when the loving friend and President of Nicaragua, Daniel Ortega, asked "where is Fidel? And a multitude of men, women, children answered: I AM FIDEL!!!! In the farewell the General ratified: "Alongside the Monument to José Martí, national hero and intellectual author of the assault on the Moncada Garrison, where we have met for over half a century in moments of extraordinary pain, or to honor our martyrs, proclaim our ideals, revere our symbols and consult the people regarding important decisions, precisely here, where we commemorate our victories, we say to you, alongside our combative and heroic people: ‘’Hasta la victoria siempre!"
And so is the invincible Comandante of the mountains and the plain, man of yesterday, today and always. The sacred land of St. Ephigenia will keep your remains, on the way to immortality, your Quixotic spirit will continue forever fighting against the mills. Here we are the Cubans, do not doub it Comandante, as you taught us we are: a people of PATRIA O MUERTE!
