Guatemala Remembers Bay of Pigs
The Cuban embassy in Guatemala recalled the 45th anniversary of the victory of Bay of Pigs, where the Cuban people defeated in less than 72 hours a mercenary invasion organized by United States.

The island's ambassador Omar Morales and counselor Jorge Pollo, who participated in that invasion, were honored in the activity and shared their experiences with those attending the ceremony.

Pollo highlighted the importance of commemorating this anniversary in Guatemala, where a US intervention interrupted a process seeking a response to the people's needs.

He reminded that that invasion gave way to a government that allowed the Bay of Pigs mercenaries to train here.

The Cuban diplomat said that victory proved the strategic vision of Cuban leader Fidel Castro, who was the first Latin American politician to become tactically aware of US tactics to maintain its domain on the region.
