The Mexican Congress' Standing Committee awarded the historical leader of the Cuban Revolution, Fidel Castro, with a diploma in recognition of his role, his life and work, on occasion of the 60th anniversary of the Attack on the Moncada Garrison.
Senator Dolores Padierna, Deputy Coordinator of the Parliamentary Group of the Party of the Democratic Revolution, handed over yesterday the diploma to Ismary Gonzalez, Charge d'affaires of Cuban Embassy in Mexico.
Padierna, who is also Secretary of the Foreign Affairs Committee in the Mexican Senate, highlighted in her speech the historical significance of the Moncada deed occurred on July 26, 1953, and Fidel as the leader of that uprising that made a difference and was a turning point for the real independence of Cuba in January 1959.
Padierna stated that the ties between the Cuban and Mexican Revolution, and the relationship between one of the most outstanding Mexican statesmen, General Lazaro Cardenas, and Commander Fidel Castro, summarizes the consistent bonds between the two countries, and shows "the depth of those ties and dreams of freedom and independence of both peoples."
A great union has always existed between both revolutions and peoples, despite the tremendous pressures of the Empire, the isolation in which it has tried to keep the island, and in spite of diplomatic disputes, he said.
He recalled Jose Marti's stay in Mexico, the preparations in of the Granma expedition in this land, and the support of the Mexicans and their President Lazaro Cardenas to that revolutionary process leading to the Revolution and Socialism in today's Cuba, a supportive country, an example of health care, education and respect for human rights.
