2014.02.19. 22:31
The Honda magazine, published by Sociedad Cultural José Martí and founded in 2000, dedicated their number 39 to honour José Martí and Che Guevara. The new issue was presented by Aleida Guevara March in Sala Caturla de la Biblioteca Provincial, who also talked about the different articles - especially the speech that her father made on 28th January 1960 on commemorating the birth of José Martí.
One of the most interesting articles from the magazine is The revolutionary essence of Che's thoughts, written by Armando Hart Dávalos, in which the author shared the letter that Che sent him in 1965. The letter shows Che's sincerity with which he criticized the Soviet cadres who at that era hindered the proper development of the socialism in Cuba.
Aleida confirmed: "We have become accustomed to criticize everything, but [only] a few of us are able to provide solutions to these criticisms.This article shows exactly those solutions that my father offered. The students will really enjoy it because it says what we need to do in order to get a better approach to the study of Marxism in our schools. Che said that we have to be profound but never lose the joy."
Among others, such articles can be read in the issue like that of María del Carmen García Ariet, the coordinator of the Che Guevara Studies Center (Centro de Estudios Che Guevara), and The Importance of Being Ernesto, written by the Guatemalan author, Marco Vinicio Mejia.
Aleida Guevara was happy to be chosen to present this issue of the magazine. During her speech, she quoted Ricardo Alarcón who wrote at the end of his essay that there is no better educator than Ernesto Guevara - it pleased her even more.
"What Martí dreamt about - my father made it come true. Sometimes we ourselves become bad examples for the young people. To be able to train someone, first you have to demonstrate it with your own life. [...] The best way to commemorate the 85th anniversary of his [Che's] birth is actually to do what he taught us, by putting it into practice... Our duty is to finish what he could not. "
When she was asked about the characteristics of her father, Aleida said: "I had the privilege of having a mother who loved my father extraordinarily and she passed that love to us. It is not just a love of words, it is a love of deeds. She taught us to honour him by becoming good revolutionaries. She always said that he didn't want his children to be special personalities and exclusive men and women of this nation. At the same time, we lived with a lot of dignity, discipline and freedom."
Rafael Polanco Brahojos, the director of the magazine explained: "We have prepared for this edition. We've always wanted to dedicate the magazine to prominent figures of important dates, through Martí's ideas. For example, to the figures of Cuban and universal culture, those about whom Martí spoke in his writings, for instance Richard Wargner or Giuseppe Verdi. We have always been impressed how much culture he collected and shared. Today we are pleased to come to Santa Clara to present this issue."
