Fidel and Raul: Delegates of Honor to the 5th Pioneer Children’s Congress.

CUBA, Mar 16, 2011.- Commander in Chief Fidel Castro and Cuban President Raul Castro were appointed on Tuesday Delegates of Honor to the 5th Pioneer Children’s Congress.

With this decision, the Jose Marti Pioneer Children’s Association, which brings together and represents over one million 200,000 Cuban children and adolescents, honors Fidel’s tenderness, efforts, eternal youth, exemplary life and tireless struggle for the future.

Also appointed Delegates of Honor to the Congress were Jose Ramon Machado Ventura, First Vice-president of the Councils of State and Ministers; Esteban Lazo, also a member of the Politburo of the Cuban Communist Party (PCC); and Jose Ramon Fernandez, Vice-president of the Council of Ministers.

The five credentials were given to Olga Lidia Tapia, member of the Secretariat of the Central Committee of the PCC, so she delivered them, with the special mission of passing on to Fidel, Raul and their comrades the admiration, love and infinite gratitude the youngest generations feel towards them.

The 5th Pioneer Children’s Congress, which will bring together 300 delegates and will have the Ernesto Guevara Pioneer Children’s Central Palace as its venue on April 3 and 4, will be dedicated to the 50th anniversary of the proclamation of the socialist nature of the Cuban Revolution and to the Bay of Pigs victory.

A week ago, at Havana’s Martires de Regla High School, Gerardo Hernandez, Fernando Gonzalez, Antonio Guerrero, Ramon Labañino and Rene Gonzalez – the five Cuban heroes incarcerated in the United States for fighting terrorism - were appointed Delegates of Honor to the Congress. (Cubaminrex-PL)
