Che is a symbol, a force, a presence that can never be destroyed\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Janine Solanki, National Coordinator of the Ernesto Che Guevara Brigade in Canada, also participated in the meeting. She emphasized that the thought of Che on the qualities that formed his conscience was acquired through voluntary work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Solanki emphasized the legacy of Che by recognizing that the new generations \u201care inspired by the actions and words of this great revolutionary leader and we try to act in accordance with the principles he defended.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The activist highlighted the example of solidarity and internationalism that Cuba gives to the world in the face of the current pandemic confronting the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For his part, Bruno Lovaina, representative of the Communist Youth of Argentina and member of the 27th South American Brigade of Solidarity with Cuba, said that Ch\u00e9 is \u201ca very powerful figure, who represents the just rebellion of the peoples.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">About the mark he left, he emphasized that \u201cChe is a figure in whom millions of young people have been pulled to before so many injustices; he has crossed territorial and generational borders because his thought reaches young people who want to vindicate him and study him as a real alternative.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the meeting, social activists highlighted the humanism in the work of Cuban doctors who are on the front lines in the battle against Covid-19, despite the campaigns to discredit them by the current U.S. administration and its lackeys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this regard, Fernando Gonz\u00e1lez pointed out that Che\u2019s ideals influence the essence of the solidarity of Cuba, a nation that has sent 52 medical contingents to 39 countries in Europe, Africa, the Middle East and Latin America and the Caribbean to counteract the pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The meeting also condemned the unjust and criminal economic, commercial and financial blockade, as the main obstacle for the development of the Cuban nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The virtual meeting in homage to the Heroic Guerrilla was also a space to pay homage to the 60 years since the founding of ICAP, where Che put his mark in its early years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Remembering Ernesto Guevara is essential. Che was a man of enlightened lineage, with a tenacious heart and always with an intransigent and revolutionary vocation. His projection and futuristic vision in search of human improvement constitute a driving force for new generations that yearn for justice and the possibility of a better world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
