Che: Fidel spoke for all of us
In Episodes of the Cuban Revolutionary War, 1956-58, Cuban
revolutionary leader Ernesto Che Guevara describes the broad support in
both wings of the July 26 Movement for Fidel Castro’s principled,
revolutionary response to the Miami Pact. Copyright © 1996 by Pathfinder

BY ERNESTO CHE GUEVARA
It is important to point out that the fighters in both the Sierra and
Llano were able to hold opinions on tactics that were at times
diametrically opposed, without having this lead to the abandoning of the
insurrectional struggle. … In the face of all pressures from outside our
movement, and all attempts to divide or infiltrate it, we always
presented a common front of struggle. Moreover, even those comrades who
saw the Cuban revolution less clearly at the moment we are speaking of
were wary of opportunists.
When Felipe Pazos, invoking the name of the July 26th Movement sought to
appropriate for himself and for the most corrupt oligarchic interests of
Cuba the positions offered by the Miami Pact, nominating himself for the
position of provisional president, the entire Movement was solidly
against this stand and supported the letter that Fidel Castro sent to
the organizations involved in the struggle against Batista.
