Cuba pays tribute to heroine of the Revolution

Havana, Jan 11 (RHC) Cuban personalities and institutions remembered Celia Sánchez Manduley, one of the most transcendent personalities of the Revolution, on the occasion of the 43rd anniversary of her death.

 

Through his Twitter account, President Miguel Díaz-Canel said: 'We remember today the 'most autochthonous flower', bold organizer of the landing of the Granma, first woman in the Rebel Army; sensitive and sharp interpreter of Fidel's ideas turned into works of the Revolution; voice and feeling of the people: Celia de Cuba'.

 

Prime Minister Manuel Marrero also said on his Twitter: 'As every January 11, our tribute to Celia, the heroine of the plains and the Sierra, exceptional woman, very dear to Cuba, the 'most autochthonous flower of our Revolution'. Her imprint is present in much of the history and heritage of our country.

 

Celia Sanchez (May 9, 1920 - January 11, 1980), is considered in the archipelago one of the key figures of the Cuban Revolution, both in the dangerous activities of the clandestine struggle and in the combats of the Rebel Army in the Sierra Maestra and in the execution of important projects after the triumph of January 1, 1959.

 

Until her death, she was the right hand of the historical leader of the Revolution, Fidel Castro, and especially in the arduous and silent task of compiling all the writings, from his letters to the most important documents, speeches, and orientations, to preserve a legacy of incalculable historical value.

 

A woman described as extremely simple by those who knew her, she hid behind her slim and petite figure an enormous temper and an almost infinite capacity for work in which she managed to combine the promotion of great works with the smallest and most delicate details and the attention to orphaned children, the sick and any other person in need of help.
