Cuban Hero Meets Chilean Legislators, Visits Neruda House

Valparaiso, Chile - A comprehensive exchange with 32 legislators of the New Majority coalition at the headquarters of the National Congress in this city, stood out on the first day of visit to Chile of Cuban hero, Fernando Gonzalez Llort.
"It was a very interesting meeting, in which I had the opportunity to see Hugo Gutierrez (Communist legislator) and in general, thank those who gave examples of breath while we were in prison," Gonzalez Llort said.
In statements to Prensa Latina, the current vice president of the Cuban Institute of Friendship with the Peoples (ICAP), referred to the role of some Chilean legislators in favor of the cause of the Cuban Five.
Along with Gonzalez Llort, Ramon Labañino, Gerardo Hernandez, Rene Gonzalez and Antonio Guerrero, known as the Cuban Five, served long sentences in U.S. prisons, for preventing terrorist activities against Cuba.
The meeting was attended by parliamentarians who make up the Chile-Cuba friendship group with other legislators, who reiterated their willingness to accompany the Caribbean island in the struggle for lifting the U.S. blockade.
They also acknowledged Cuba´s role in its support and solidarity with the Chilean people in the difficult times of coup d´etat and Augusto Pinochet dictatorship, with the overthrow of Salvador Allende in 1973.
The parliamentarians stressed at the same time the valuable contribution by Gonzalez Llort and his companions, the Five, in the battle against terrorism, in addition to their examples of resistance.
They also were interested in his vision in the new stage of Cuba regarding the process of restoring relations with the United States, amid the prevailing economic blockade.
In another remark to Prensa Latina, the ICAP vice president was impressed for the visit he carried out to the House Mausoleum of Pablo Neruda in Isla Negra, in Valparaiso region.
Accompanied by Cuba's ambassador here, Adolfo Curbelo, Gonzalez Llort offered today a talk at the Main Lecture hall of the University of Chile to many personalities from the southern country.
Gonzalez Llort will attend tonight the opening ceremony of the Meeting of Solidarity with Cuba at the Universidad of Los Lagos in this city.
