Fidel beat them twice [how a #revolutionist, #FidelCastro, treated prisoners of war.]

[translated from TRABAJADORES, publication of Cuba's union federation]April 18, 2026
Such an event had never occurred: the mercenaries defeated at #PlayaGirón were the first prisoners in the world to dialogue with the head of a government they had tried to overthrow.
It happened on April 26, 1961 and the scene of the unusual meeting was the Sports City of Havana. The photos were also unusual: they showed the invaders free of chains or any other ties and very close to Fidel.
The Commander in Chief fought a battle of ideas with these individuals that covered the most diverse topics.
This is how the then Prime Minister expressed it: "I am here an adversary who has brought television here for you to speak and for you to say what you think ... the people of #Cuba must know why that blood was spilled and what purposes were hidden behind that struggle."

A quick search got me to an on-line video of Silvio Rodriguez performing #PlayaGirón, The audience participation is very moving... the feeling in the faces as they sing along with the performer..

I was introduced to the sounds of Leo Ferre (Léo Ferré, Les Anarchistes, La solitude) and one of the songs got me thinking of Silvio Rodriguez and Playa Girón. It was good to look into the song I first heard decades ago. Snatches of the song come to mind a lot, but I never took the time to read the whole song and get a better idea of what it's all about.
