Aleida Guevara: "No one from outside can tell us what we have to do."

Aleida Guevara, daughter of Ernesto "Che" Guevara, sent a message regarding the requests coming from outside of Cuba for changes to occur on the island.

"No one from outside can tell us what we have to do; we must solve our own problems, and that is achieved through hard work and effort, as Che taught us," stated Antonio Maceo in the Stained Glass Hall of the Revolution Square in Santiago de Cuba in a speech that was reported by the official press.

These statements are made in the context of the constant messages coming from the White House and President Trump's own requests to the Cuban government for further adjustments. Among them are the call for free elections, the release of political prisoners, as well as respect for human rights.

Guevara's statements, on the other hand, have a certain point of irony when considering that his father, one of the leaders of the Cuban Revolution, was Argentine.

This is not, however, the first time that her statements have been surrounded by controversy. Last June, Aleida launched an attack against Cuban migrants who decided to leave the largest of the Antilles for US territory.

Despite having raised the cultural level of the Cuban people, there are still naive people who believe the sirens' songs. They think that upon arriving in the United States with this law (the Cuban Adjustment Act), they are going to the American dream," he stated on that occasion.
