In an official communiqué, the organization noted that the Cuban fighter had the crystalline clarity of warning about the pretentions of the United States to conquer the Latin American peoples.
Signed by the president of the National Executive Committee of the Coordinator, Milton Chamorro, the document points out that although Marti died in combat against Spanish colonialism on May 19, 1895, his anti-imperialist ideal was rooted in the oppressed people.
«The immense Jose Marti is still horseback riding in Our America, guiding the peoples who fight for true independence, sovereignty, self-determination and a new society,» the Coordinator noted.
In that regard, it added that the new Cuban and Latin American generations retook that ideal to prevent Washington’s malice and perpetuity in the region.
The Coordinator stressed that in Cuba’s case, the «Necessary War» organized by Marti was the entry to the revolutionary actions by Commander Fidel Castro, Ernesto Guevara (Che) and other Cuban heroes and heroines from Cuba, whose complete independence was achieved on January 1, 1959.
