The historical events Che partook in have been studied for decades by historians around the world and no consensus has been reached as to the morality of his actions. Many people throughout Latin America view Guevara as a heroic martyr for the people, whereas many people from the rest of the world see him as little more than a terrorist. What many of these historians fail to address is what exactly made Ernesto Guevara leave his relatively upper-middle class, loving family behind to pursue a life of revolution and guerrilla warfare.

  • Título Honoris Causa Para El Che
    Título Honoris Causa para el Che La ceremonia de entrega del Título Honoris Causa Post mortem en Ciencias Médicas a Ernesto Guevara de la Serna, tuvo lugar ayer en el Aula Magna del Instituto de Ciencias Básicas y Preclínicas Victoria de Girón. Tan alta distinción le fue conferida en ocasión del aniversario 50 de su graduación como médico en la Universidad de Buenos Aires, y del 75 de su nacimiento, por la dirección del Ministerio de Salud Pública (MINSAP) y del Instituto Superior de Ciencias Médicas (ISCM) de La Habana. Quien un día en medio del combate tuvo que elegir entre la caja de balas y el maletín de medicinas, nunca dejó su vocación a un lado, pues como dijera el Guerrillero Heroico "para ser revolucionario, o médico revolucionario, lo primero que hay que tener es Revolución". Al recibir el diploma en representación de su padre de las manos del rector del ISCM, doctor Jorge González, Aleida Guevara March, hija del comandante rebelde, habló de los sueños juveniles del Che de ser un investigador famoso y de cómo encontró realidades sociales en su búsqueda de verdades científicas, lo que condicionó para siempre su necesidad vital de ayudar a los pobres de la Tierra. A la actividad asistieron el miembro del Buró Político del Partido Comunista de Cuba José Ramón Machado Ventura, el Ministro de Salud Pública Damodar Peña, el Ministro del Gobierno de la República de Cuba, Wilfredo López, entre otras personalidades. (Jennifer Piñero Roig, estudiante de Comunicación Social) Hacia dos puntos de una misma historia SANTA CLARA.— Este sábado será otro de esos días memorables, cuando más de 40 000 santaclareños acudan a la plaza Comandante Ernesto Che Guevara, de esta ciudad, para participar en el acto nacional por los aniversarios 75 y 158 de los natalicios del Guerrillero Heroico y el General Antonio Maceo, respectivamente.
