The daughter of Ernesto “Che” Guevara, said his father would support the presidents of Bolivia, Venezuela and Ecuador, as well as other people trying to give their people a better life.

The daughter of the legendary revolutionary leader, Ernesto “Che” Guevara ,  said in an interview with RT that his father “would certainly respect the decisions of Evo (Bolivia), decisions Maduro (Venezuela), the Correa (Ecuador) “.

“It was a great revolutionary and would support all men and women trying to change the reality in which they live,” said Aleida Guevara.

Similarly, he said that his father “was always a very sensitive man peoples. That is, all he cared much about the welfare of the poorest people, and then I’m pretty sure he would be very concerned about what is happening in the Arab world. I think this would be a place where he would be seeing how to help, how to be present in this regard. ”

Aleida Guevara said that Che “was always a person who respected the people in general, but despite his criticism of socialism in a given time always showed respect for the Soviet people of that time. So today I would be very concerned about the situation between Ukraine and Russia, because they are people who have grown up together, who have lived together for many years. ”

In an interview years ago, Aleida Guevara said that if Che Guevara was alive “would be supporting, helping Hugo Chavez in everything that I could.”

Guevara said that Western countries that associate Cuba with a dictatorship “have no idea what a dictatorship (…) No dictator will never worry about the education of their people. The more educated than the people, freer It is. In any dictator would think that his people have a completely free service education of the whole people “.

To conclude, Guevara said that “the Cuban reality is this: it is a people who are educated in solidarity, respect and love other people, in the capacity to give, in terms of improving the lives of other men and women. So how (Western countries) can relate this to a dictatorship? For me it’s impossible, I can not understand this. ”

Who was Che Guevara?

A 48 years of the death in combat of the revolutionary leader, Telesur highlights the most important aspects of the life of Che Guevara.A thinker, politician, physician and fighter for the interest of the poor, the son of Celia and Ernesto Guevara de la Serna, Ernesto Guevara, Che, chose a different path than many might imagine for him given their privileged economic position. It could be a lawyer, but became interested in medicine and politics. The Spanish Civil War brought him into contact with the political and social reality of the world and a journey of 500 kilometers by 4000 the poorest regions of Argentina will open their eyes to inequality. The medicine was the bridge to reach what would be his fate: to make revolution to bring about social change in Latin America. But journalism accompanied him throughout his life, even during long days of fighting in the Sierra Maestra in Cuba.

He cultivated a great love for literature and poetry, in fact, in his work as a journalist for news agencies, was always willing to let reality notes, not only politically but also in sports and culture. The necessary revolutionIn his many travels in Latin America picked up the desire for change and justice for the oppressed peoples, “This wandering through our Shift America has changed me more than I thought,” he said one of the later chronicles his second trip . Che saw injustice. He was a self-taught Marxist who fought for socialism to replace capitalism, “the duty of every revolutionary is to make revolution.” It is the icon of the left in Latin America and the world, rejecting injustice and rebellion against a system that generated and still generates deep social inequalities.  In 1955, during a trip to Mexico he met Fidel and Raul Castro brothers and enlisted as a medic in what would be the Granma expedition, leading to a guerrilla group fighting against the regime of Fulgencio Batista in Cuba.  With them he confronted the Cuban dictatorship and defeat the revolution gave the Cuban nationality, allowing them to participate until 1965 in the organization of the Cuban state, promoting major political and social reforms.   but the conviction that the armed struggle was effective, took him by countries such as the Congo and Bolivia where he supported the revolutionary movements with the idea of achieving what he had achieved in Cuba.

The indelible mark

Che is a symbol of armed struggle against imperialism, this became his political legacy by lsu influence and participation in the revolutionary movements of the world. Adverse imperialist pretensions of the United States, took Marxism and communism the elements necessary to build an identity that resulted in based on the proposition that movement was not necessary to wait until social conditions produce a popular uprising, but a small guerrilla was enough to create the conditions and trigger a popular uprising . Che was captured and executed in Bolivia clandestinely, by order of the CIA, while urging the installation of guerrilla groups in the South American country on 9 October 1969. The death was not enough to end the respect and admiration for the revolutionary leader and his role in history. Even after his death, Che and his ideas are still alive in the movements demanding a change in the power structures. Leading figures in the arts, politics and sports and various ideological currents as Jean Paul Sartre, Diego Armando Maradona, Carlos Santana, Gabriel García Márquez and the Chechen leader Shamil Basayev are part of the characters that have been identified with her figure and ideals . The advance of progressive governments in Latin America show that the example of heroism and honesty of this revolutionary has come to the youth, workers and peasants fighting to achieve a society of social justice.
