Camagüey, Oct. 28th.- Between songs, commitment and new generations willing to follow their example, the people of Camagüey remembered Camilo Cienfuegos Gorriarán today at the Ignacio Agramonte International Airport in this city, from where he left on October 28th, 1959 on a plane that disappeared.

The tribute was chaired by Federico Hernández Hernández, member of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba and first secretary in the province, the deputies to the Cuban Parliament Jorge Enrique Sutil Sarabia and Dixamis Rodríguez Gómez, the first secretary of the Union of Young Communists Kelly Álvarez Fernández and other political and government leaders, accompanied by combatants, soldiers, young people, pioneers and locals of different ages.

On the 64th anniversary of his physical disappearance, the Capitán de sombrero alón was remembered with songs and dances in his honor, again next to the track that said goodbye to him, and the moment was conducive to initiating new militants in the Youth Union Communists (UJC), continuation of its avant-garde lineage.

To be consistent with the efforts of Camilo and many other generations to achieve the triumph of the Cuban Revolution and with the values of the nation, the first secretary of the UJC in the provincial capital, Heiner Liam Carvajo Baxter, invited in the central words of the meeting.

He also alluded to the commitment that such values impose for just causes such as the cessation of the conflict in Palestine, whose people today suffer more strongly from the scourge of Israel, at the price of lives of civilian men, women and children with the right to peace and life.

The tribute concluded, as usual, with the pilgrimage to the reflecting pool of the Camilo Cienfuegos roundabout, which was filled with flowers thrown by pioneers and other Camagüeyans before the image of the Señor de la Vanguardia, to remember him in the water, his last place.

Every October 28th, the tribute multiplied in the country has special meaning for the people of Camagüey, the city from where the Hero of Yaguajay left for Havana, physically disappeared, but kept forever in the heart of the town.
