Bolívar and Chávez acted on behalf of La Libertad> Mundo> Granma

Simón Bolívar is one of the most important figures in Latin American historiography . It was said of him that he was a "fierce young man", that he was "anxious and small", "proud and haughty", that he danced skillfully, that he had good manners and an enviable ability to resist hunger and fatigue; even General José de San Martín recognized him as "the most astonishing man that South America has produced".

But Bolívar remains an unfinished portrait: this man who was born rich, was orphaned at an early age, was prematurely widowed, emancipated five countries, reached the maximum glory of his military career and died in exile at age 47 , leaving us an intangible legacy.

This Tuesday marked the 235 anniversary of his birth, known as "El Libertador" and considered by his work as the great "Man of America."

In his beloved Venezuela is celebrated, remembered and learned from him. This was expressed by President Nicolás Maduro through a message on the social network Twitter, where he confirmed the will of the Venezuelan government and people to continue the road of independence established by El Libertador of the Southeast American

birth of our Father of the Fatherland, Simón Bolívar; giant of all times, universal reference of the union and integration of peoples. Today, his sons and daughters, worthy Bolivarians, continue their path towards permanent independence, "wrote the president.

Far for the time, but close to ideas, 65 years after the death of Simón Bolívar, Marti warned that What El Libertador had not done on this continent remained to be done.The Cuban apostle learned very early that America It was not what the Venezuelan dreamed of, he knew the inequality, the misery of a region that left him trampled by the freedom for which he had fought so much.

Thanks to the A unit of action and thought of these two great men, respect and solidarity have characterized the ties of Cuba and Venezuela, nations that have shared difficult moments in the history of the United States. Latin America and the Caribbean, but also victories and joys.The Cubans and Venezuelans merged the latter born into a strong alliance to work together for the well-being of their citizens and the unity and integration of our peoples, those of the Rio Grande to Patagonia.

From the hand of Martí Bolívar to this Caribbean island, that's why we Cubans also pay tribute to one of the most outstanding figures of American Hispanic emancipation and we all drink the days of his teachings.

That is why at dawn this July 24 in many places of Cuba A tribute was paid to the Liberator and in the Cuban capital, flowers in the name of this city were deposited in the Monument erected in his honor, in the Avenue of Presidents of the capital Vedado.

Another appointment for the tribute was held at the headquarters of the Cuban Institute of Friendship with the Peoples (ICAP), and there were reminders of the ideas of the Venezuelan hero, but also follow their actions.

"The national revolution in Venezuela and gradually on the continent, it constitutes the historical legacy and the dialectical consequence of the legacy of the hero of Caracas. The ideals of Bolivar firmly embrace the hammered back and have suffered, but hope from our continent, "said Fernando González Llort, president of ICAP in referring to the Venezuelan hero.

And as he was not enough to remember today from one great continent, served this space to pay homage to another: Hugo Chávez, who would meet this July 28, 64.

"Chávez continued to work, a giant who turned Bolívar's legacy into a man forever who merged in the soul of Venezuela and whom we see today in the look full of hope of a people to whom he restored the dignity and firm conviction to build a society of equals. "

Subscribers of Bolívar and Martí, Hugo Chávez and Fidel Castro gave birth to a new hope for America, and to the seed that in our cities, these four great ones are gone, they have sprouted into other integrationist dreams, alliances of love and hope that seek to make these lands – according to El Libertador – the "most beautiful and beautiful of humanity" ".
