Holguin
The city of Holguin, located to the
northeast of the unfortunate island of Cuba, by capricious and inexplicable
ironic game in a strange historical coincidence, has had the sad honor of
having served as cradle, like boiler of the devil, to the two latest Cuban
rulers who as images of "bad" and "worse" have whipped the island for more
than half century. Almost erasing the privilege of having been the place
where the illustrious General Calixto Garcia saw the light; brave patriot
who devoted his life to the search of freedom in the island against the
Spanish domination and that must be restless in his tomb to the knowledge
that these two characters who were born in his same land have contributed to
disgrace his beloved country, this Cuban region suffers the shame to have
generated such creatures.
Fulgencio Batista and Zaldivar, native of the region near Banes in the
province of Holguin, probably paved the way so that the current owner and
master of the island, Fidel Castro Ruz, born in Biran, also in the
jurisdiction of the present province of Holguin, would end up destroying the
country in such a dramatic way as he has done it in the last 45 years.
In a feeling similar to that of Judas descendants, all of us who come from
that Cuban territory, experience a sensation of sorrow and guilt with the
rest of our fellow Cuban citizens for coming from the same place as those
two dark characters.
