Nicaragua Stresses Cuban Revolution Example
Commander Tomas Borge Martinez, historical leader and founder of the Sandinista Front for National Liberation (FSLN), stressed the example of the Cuban Revolution in the 55th anniversary of the Moncada Barrack attack.

"The Nicaraguan Revolution triumphed thanks to the victory of the Cuban Revolution," Borge stated Sunday addressing a social organizations act assembled in the Coordinator of Solidarity with Cuba in occasion of the National Rebelliousness Day.

The also Nicaraguan ambassador to Peru referred to the recent speech by President Hugo Chavez for the 29th anniversary of the Sandinista Revolution when he talked of "Our Father which art in land and have caused uneasiness in rightwing groups."

"Chavez means," he noted, "that the greatest man who has produced the contemporary history is named Fidel Castro, actually the father of all revolutionaries of the world."

Borge, who revealed during the act two letters from the Cuban Five, talked of the brotherhood existing between both peoples and of the same way that Cubans fought in Nicaragua, Nicaraguans have provided efforts to defeat counterrevolutionary bands in the Escambray mountain range, in center Cuba, and in the Bay of Pig invasion.

Jose Antonio Lopez, political adviser at the Cuban embassy in Nicaragua, greeted and expressed gratitude for the Nicaraguan people solidarity and retold the struggle against the Fulgencio Batista dictatorship led by Fidel.

Lopez also mentioned achievements reached in the almost 50 years of revolution despite the blockade and recalled the Nicaraguan fighters who joined with Cubans in the struggle against imperialism.

FSLN deputy Alba Palacios and Edgardo Garcia, president of the Coordinator of Solidarity with Cuba, among other guests, attended the activity.
