"The Cuban Revolution puts its main battle in radio and television not to be overcome by an immense machinery bombarding our youth," he said yesterday, Antonio Guerrero, Hero of the Republic of Cuba, speaking on the Radio and Television Convention Cuba 2015, which meets in the Palace of Conventions in Havana.  During an exchange with delegates, filmmakers and other attendees, the antiterrorist fighter and his comrades Gerardo Hernandez and Ramon Labañino they pointed out the important role to be played by the media in Cuba to defend the revolutionary work and face the dangers of information from abroad through various channels. For heroes it is necessary to define limits on the cultural appropriation that makes the Cuban people consuming communication products, including those made in the country.

According to Antonio, the Revolution states that "every communicator is located in time and space, to create an army of Camillus on the radio and on television.

"Eating junk products is an attack on man's conscience. Sometimes we are passive, because we are thinking about the banalities and we join in this way, the contingent of mediocrity. The battle of ideas is essential in the fight against the so-called weekly package, "he said.

Antonio said the Cuban radio is revolutionary, progressive, and combat trench, but not perfect. For this reason, it drew attention to the importance of being "on the agenda, and that our young people can prepare in the sense that it became Radio Rebelde in the Sierra Maestra. "The most important thing is that radio is more aggressive and look for problems in the street. We need a higher level on television, give complete information and explaining the problems, "he said.

Meanwhile, Gerardo Hernandez said that there is a fine line between freedom of expression, creation and that considered intolerable.

"The merit is to know transit through that line. It is our duty to ensure that the Cuban audience has sufficient preparation. We are concerned about the package of the week, but we must see why people consume these canned goods. Our goal can not be prohibited either. Therefore, the main task is to educate our people, "he said.

Ramón Labañino also noted that radio was the primary contact for them to Cuba, and was impressed that the signal could reach as far away as Kentucky or Texas.

"When one falls prey, defense mechanisms are sought. In our case we survived in prison, but lived in Cuba, "he said.
