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.
from Prensa Latina 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".
