Caracas, June 14, 2024.- Every June 14, the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America-People’s Trade Treaty (ALBA-TCP) commemorates the birth of the revolutionary, journalist, doctor, and Cuban-Argentine politician Ernesto Che Guevara.

“Che”, as he was known worldwide, was born in Rosario de Santa Fe (Argentina) on June 14, 1928; however, he was naturalized as a Cuban citizen in 1960. Guevara joined the Cuban Revolution as another son of that homeland.

Ernesto Che Guevara studied medicine, was one of the architects of the Cuban Revolution, and held high-responsibility positions in the organization of the Cuban economy during the early revolutionary years.

Additionally, he served as an ambassador of the Revolution in several countries. In 1965, he resigned from all his positions in the Cuban government and returned to the guerrilla, first in the Congo and later in Bolivia.

Both his actions and his works continue to live on in Latin America, the Caribbean, and the peoples of the world remember him as a man of personality, consistent in his words and actions.

“His thought became the struggle of every young person who today fights with the same ethics and dignity against the aggressions of U.S. imperialism,” highlighted the President of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro Moros, in 2019.
