Elian Gonzalez: The youth are the present and future of Cuba
Created on Monday, 06 July 2015 11:48
HAVANA, Cuba, Jul 6 (acn) During the ceremony to hand the banner to the Matanzas delegation to the Tenth Congress of the Youth Communist League to be held July 17-19, Elian Gonzalez said the youth is the present and future of Cuba
Many of those that participated in the parades and marches claiming for my return to Cuba were pioneers, and they proved the falsehood of the phrase ¨youth are lost¨ when they also demanded the freedom of the Cuban Five, Elian told ACN news agency.
Elian, who gained international prominence when he was held in Miami by right-wing extremists against his father´s wishes, is a member of that delegation to the youth event.
He said he will attend the Congress not only to discuss the issues that interest the members of the organization but of all Cuban youngsters.

The beauty of this photo is the loving look on the child's
face as soon as father & son were re-united. The Miami
group could not seduce him with flashy clothes & toys.[/center]
So glad you have shared these great new images. They look very connected, don't they?
Time DID fly. I can't believe it has gone so quickly. We certainly have known each other a very long time, even though it doesn't seem possible. I have appreciated every thing you've ever written, and learned so much more than I ever could have without seeing your contributions to our shared process.
