The fourth month of the year stands out in Cuba precisely because in 1961, the Bay of Pigs invasion was held. In just 72 hours, the armed brigade of mercenaries, trained and transported by the US was defeated by the people, the army and the militia, led by Fidel, this action was recorded for the posterity as the first great defeat of the US imperialism in Latin America.
It seems that April started to extol the story, by ratifying that the brothers disappeared in its days would never be forgotten, to reaffirm that when an energetic people stands out, injustice trembles.
The twenty-second day of the fourth month of 1957 cannot be ignored when the Pico Turquino, seemed to shake with the presence of Fidel Castro Ruz, leader who with the rest of his rebel troops climbed for the first time the highest elevation in the country, there they began to sing the national and the 26th of July anthems. Hands and rifles were raised and joy was immense.
Twelve months later, in 1958, just on the 21st, as the result of a huge explosion Enrique Hart Dávalos dies, a revolutionary with a great distaste for bourgeois society and the dominant political class, unforgettable hero of the homeland.
Abril is full of enthusiasm; children and young celebrate the long awaited birthday of the José Martí Young Students Organization (OPJM) and the Young Communists League (UJC). They, on behalf of the new generations of Cubans are determined to demonstrate a supreme truth, the privilege of being born and living in the Greater Antilles, a kind of life that opens to all the possibility of keeping freshness, spontaneity, joy and color of all these years of triumphs and victories.
Many other events makes us feel proud, one that cannot be missing on this page responds to the creation of kindergartens on April 10th,1961 by the heroine of the Sierra, Vilma Espin Guillois, idea which benefit today in Cuba to more than 116 000 working mothers.
In Guaimaro a fact stands out as a shield and flag, the signing of the First Constitution of the Republic in Arms, on April 10th, 1869, a date which certifies that here, in the easternmost of the Camagüeyan territories, the Cuban nation was forged.
It is worthy to excel from abroad the one happened exactly 14 years ago when the Venezuelan opposition struck a fascist coup. Many media at the service of the enemy began to spread that the Bolivarian President Hugo Rafael Chavez had resigned, it was on April 11th, 2002, the marchers pro-government of the commander of the Revolution were shot indiscriminately by members of the National guard and snipers in plain clothes.
Chavez never declined; his daughter Maria Gabriela corroborated this, the evidence? a telephone conversation with her father, in which he asserted that he had not resigned. At dawn of Sunday 14th, Hugo is released and returned by helicopter from the Caribbean island of La Orchila, a hundred kilometers from the continent. He landed directly in Miraflores, there, hundreds of thousands of supporters awaited them.
Also in April, 1870, Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov 'Lenin' was born in the ancient Russian city of Simbirsk, the man whose revolutionary thinking will endure for posterity.
