Association in Italy pays tribute to Commander Che Guevara

Havana, October 7 (RHC) The Italy-Cuba National Friendship Association (ANAIC) paid tribute to Commander Ernesto Che Guevara on the 57th anniversary of his death with an event held in the northern city of Collegno.

The ceremony took place the day before on Che Guevara Square, which is dedicated to his memory in that town in the Province of Turin, and was attended by members of the association, officials, and residents of the community.

The event was attended by Matteo Cavallone, Mayor of Collegno; Silvana Accosato, President of the National Association of Italian Partisans in that city; Tiziana Manzi, Secretary of the local circle of the ANAIC; and Fidel Ajuria, representing the Consulate General of Cuba in Milan.

Cavalloni emphasized that these difficult times need figures like Che Guevara, who was assassinated in Bolivia on October 9, 1967.

For his part, Papacci recounted passages from the life of Che Guevara's struggle for a better world.

He also referred to the difficult situation Cuba is going through as the result of the intensification of the US economic, commercial, and financial blockade. He demanded the end to it as well as the exclusion of the Caribbean nation from Washington’s terrorism list. (Source: PL)
