PALABRAS DE FIDEL

" Demos facilidad a los periodistas porque
por eso hay libertad de prensa"

" El pueblo solo necesita que le informen los
hechos , las conclusiones las saca el, por algo
las dictaduras no quieren libertad de prensa"

" El periodista trabaja para el pueblo"

" Existe un derecho cuando es cierto,cuando
se puede disfrutar sin temor a que se lo arre-
baten"

" Quien dice libertad de prensa dice libertad
de reunion, y derecho a elegir libremente no
solo al PResidente, sino los trabajadores a
elegir sus dirigentes . Derechos que no se pue-
den arrebatar . EL PUEBLO LOS TIENE ASEGURADO"..

" Cuando gobierno actua rectamente no teme a
ninguna libertad . Si no roba , ni asesina , no tiene
que que temer a la libertad de prensa "

" Muchas lecciones ha recibio el pueblo . No hay
mejor escuela que la de la experiencia. Siete años
de tirania han enseñado mucho a nuestro pueblo.
" Siete años nos ha enseñado que muchas liberta-
des no podemos nunca mas perderlas de nuevo"

" El Cuasto Poder, la Prensa m se ha convertido en el
Primer Poder. El periodista llena una funcion de ser-

der a los periodistas, pero , eso si, no me hagan Cole
diado Numero Uno".

Students at the University of Havana, in support of freedom of the press and in sympathy with Diario de la Marina, buried the paper symbolically in a solemn ceremony.
"When Prensa Libre wrote critically about the suppression of Diario de la Marina and the imminent loss of freedom of the press in Cuba, it too was seized by the government." Mobs were incited calling for "¡paredón!" (firing squad wall) for the editors. One by one, Cuban newspapers ceased to exist. Only government-controlled publications, like "Revolución," "El Mundo," "Bohemia," and the communist "Hoy" were allowed to exist—but even they would only be allowed to do so for a time. After consolidation of the communist dictatorship, only "Granma," the official publication of the Cuban Communist
