When being turned 51 years of Fidel Alejandro Castro Ruz`s first presence in Camagüey once conquered the political power, to big strides will celebrate that lived by this town the momentous January 4, 1959,and even more.

Above all, I think that the masses of Camagüey - settled down in the prestige acquired by the Rebellious Army -glimpsed what approached after the victory of the Revolution, reason for which showed its joy. Particularly, it showed to the fourth day of the victory against the dictatorship pro yank , during the traffic for the county of the Caravan of the Freedom that the national territory traveled.

Remembering the historical event, the partner Fidel expressed:

"[...] there is a question of spontaneous sympathy on the part of the town of Camagüey, because that was demonstrated to our arrival when the victory of the Revolution, was demonstrated inthe act that was given here. Camagüey is not of the counties that have more inhabitants [...], however, the public act that was given in Camagüey was a gigantic act [...] ".

That day, after finishing details with the Provincial Address of the Revolutionary Movement of July 26 about the prevailing situation, the Commandant in Boss went personally and live to women and men of Camagüey , manifesting among other things:

"Seven years of tyranny have taught a lot to our town, seven years of tyranny have become trained mainly that our freedoms are never able to more to lose them again [...]. The freedom is not everything. The freedom is the first part, the freedom to begin to be entitled the to fight [...]

And followed act, specified: "Homeland not only means a place where one can speak and to walk without be killed. Homeland is the place where one can work and to win the sustenance honestly [...]. Homeland is the place where doesn't exploit the citizens, because if exploits the citizen, if are removed what belongs , if are stolen what has, it is not Homeland [...] ".

This way, the maximum leader of the Revolution left inheritors and heirs of Agramonte * the indication of assuming the ulterior changes of the society like the beginning of the coronation of the begun fight October 10,1868, whose evidence had to traffic to transform into synonym the concepts of freedom, of Homeland and of non exploitation.

In correspondence, in a natural way and every bigger time has been our accompaniment to Fidel, from the support to the measures and laws that were implanted starting from 1959 until the learning of its teachings contained in its journalistic offensive. And will be this way always, if day by day we build in Camagüey - and in all Cuba - a better work.

Ignacio Agramonte Loynaz, born in this territory on December 23, 1841, is one of the main figures of the Revolution that begin in 1868 who was immolated in Jimaguayú, Camagüey, May 11, 1873. Its print in people of Camagüey is reflected in the fact of being that is the only inhabitants of Cuba that it is identified with the gentile of a great countryman, to know women and men of Camagüey.
