Panama: Social Groups Pay Tribute to Che

Although not reported in the general press, this story did come across my radar from Cuba's English news website, Prensa Latina. The university of Panama is well known for its left leaning professors and unrest by students is a regular event at any opportunity. Whenever a group wants to hold up Che as a great revolutionary and hero I know something doesn't smell right.  In this press release we see that the ambassadors of Ecuador and Venezuela were on hand to fan the flames of socialist agendas. Why is this important? Because living and investing in Panama is dependent on the general population turning away from these ideals and staying on track of democracy and a country of laws rather than of men.

Panama: Social Groups Pay Tribute to Che

Panama, Oct 9 (Prensa Latina) Panamanian organizations grouped in the National Front for the Defense of Economic and Social Rights (FRENADESO) paid homage to heroic guerrilla Ernesto Che Guevara, on the 41st anniversary of his murder.

In an activity made in the University of Panama, Bolivian Ambassador in this nation, Edgar Solis, remembered the Bolivian scenario in the moment of the Latin American revolutionary leader's death.

   Inspired by his thought, he added, we see that many peoples of the region follow the road traced by Che.   

For his part, Jorge Luis Duran, Venezuelan Ambassador to Panama, highlighted the qualities of Guevara, among which he mentioned security, responsibility, discipline, organization capacity and great moral origin.

Leonel Urbino, political consultant of the Cuban Embassy in this country, praised the influence of the fighter's personality for children and young people in Cuba.

As a revolutionary, he said, he left us the example of dignity and serenity, and for the history, something very special, the sentence "Until Victory Forever".

    We live in amazing times. But much of the world lives in abject poverty, struggling while in the chains of political oppression. At the same time, people in the richest nations on our planet enjoy wealth beyond the wildest imaginations, especially as compared with people just a century ago. The same processes that has created wealth and related technological advances are also connecting people around the world at a dizzying pace. These changes - known as "globalization" - are the subject of one of the most significant conversations of our era. AWorldConnected is part of that conversation.
