The capital shone. The sun illuminated the passers-by. Tourists and nationals mingled in one word. Pride we all felt. Also passion, commitment and nostalgia to return to meet the bearded of the Sierra Maestra, dressed in olive green. In the José Martí Memorial in Havana, the launching of the book Ahí viene Fidel, by journalists Wilmer Rodríguez Fernández and Yunet López Ricardo, took place.
Wilmer and Yunet spoke to the audience, told their experiences in just one hour. There comes Fidel. Yes, Fidel returned! He did it in the words of these chroniclers, poets of the genre. I was among the hundreds of mortals who came in search of the book. ''Being educated is the only way to be free'', this was read in one of the thoughts sculpted in gold, on the walls of the José Martí Memorial.
I reflected and understood that we are an educated people that loves Fidel like a father. He will no longer raise his voice in the Plaza, before the crowds acclaiming: Fidel, Fidel Fidel... Here we are today to evoke him in these glorious pages of chronicled poetry. Fidel returns to our encounter.
There comes Fidel. The leader who did not go to Santa Ifigenia. This afternoon he returned to dusting the road, along with commanders, generals and other officers of the Revolutionary Armed Forces and the Ministry of the Interior. He returned because he is in each stanza of these golden pages of the journalistic chronicle written by Wilmer and Yunet.
He walks safely on the central road as in November and December 2016. Children, young people, the elderly, pregnant women, disabled people, religious ... We all met to return to the encounter with the Commander friend, because, before the murmur and the amazement of all; There comes Fidel!
