Sancti Spiritus Students Reject Act of Vandalism against José Martí

When delivering the closing speech of the ceremony,  Eddy Fidel Gómez Palmero, a member of the Municipal Bureau of the Youth Communist League (UJC) in Sancti Spíritus, recalled the life of the unforgettable student leader and leftist politician who turned into an outstanding flag for our people.

The commemorative event was also atended by Yadira Díaz Chinea, first secretary of the UJC in Sancti Spiritus; Duany Hernández Pérez, president of the José Martí Pioneer Organization in the province, and Yanetsy Berroa Muñoz, director of Education in the municipality.
