[translated from TRABAJADORES, publication of Cuba's union federation]

April 18, 2026

Such an event had never occurred: the mercenaries defeated at Playa Girón 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."
