"It is with a telephone giving orders"
Cuba wants to Argentina in the equipment
By Miguel Bonasso
From Havana
It had prepared to see it to me, but the reality was much more strong. It even took of gift a trip computer to him. It is to say a type of Argentine leather cartridge holder, that in its interior has spaces predetermined for papers, cards, passage, passport, annotations several, everything what a traveller needs. I know very well that Fidel I castrate does not take to credit cards nor money in its passages by the world, but the modest present locked up a subliminal message: "I hope that soon it is well for returning to travel".
But a thing is what one imagines, fears, it wishes, and another different good the fact in himself. Suddenly the telephone call: "It is to such hour in such side". And nothing else. It could be that it saw it personally or it could be that found me with some of its men of confidence in a preparatory meeting. It could not believe in my good luck: he was the first guest to the Not aligned Summit of the Movement of that had the privilege to see the Commander in its recovery, as they had already seen it before the Summit Hugo Moral Chávez and Evo.
So it was stunned that I forgot until an elementary note notebook in case had the additional luck of which it did a declaration to me.
But when arriving at the appointment I knew that it would see it. With its nearer collaborators I crossed the corridor like in travelling cinematographic where the visitor sees intensify the reality as she advances: in the beginning the men of its safekeeping dressed green olive, soon its personal doctor always wasting bonhomía, at the end of the running length a trio made up of two women and a high man, the three of white cover. Doctors, nurses? Finally one very amiable lady who introduced to me in the room. A fourth austere, white one, totally undressed of adornments. Fidel, who was seated in a bed, with a white and movable table ahead, put itself of foot to give a hug me.
It dressed a dressing gown color came and a pajamas doing game and, luckily, was Fidel of always. Thinner, it is truth, but not as much as they had shown recent photos to it.
"I lost forty and pounds - it remembered to me -, but I am recovering weight. Already almost half of which I lost."
Many kilos for that already seemed hidalgo Spanish of cervantina ancestry and show now a quixotic profile.
We seated to chat. They were the eleven and average in the morning Havanan of the dog days reverberated yesterday and outside. The knot that I brought in the throat relaxed of blow: he can sound incredible, but Fidel was so lúcido and filoso as always. The same confidential tone of conspirador that the listener must unravel, the same mysterious signs or the gestuales accentuations of some verbal finding, some order to its collaborators in high affluent voice, to demonstrate that it can return at any time to oratoria.
"You see", emphasized. "I can speak in high affluent voice if I want."
It happened long awhile before it did the confession to me that load of existencial weight this note. It always started like, enthusiastic by the collective, political facts, putting the personnel in a third or fourth plane of shade. It was excited with the fact that Venezuela wins the battle to occupy a seat of honor in the Security Council of the United Nations. "Genius and figure", I thought. The transit by the disease and the certain presence of the death has not diminished an apex the intensity of their dreams and obsessions.
"they are not going to be able to block the entrance", assured. And it emphasized that his great friend Hugo Chávez Fri'as has become a world-wide leader. "Chávez has been creating an indestructible model. He is not carrying of a socialism extreme, but realistic. Unquestionably it is going to be successful in creating a great party that reunites and represents all the Venezuelan revolutionaries. The diverse parties that supported it have responded to their call well to obtain the unit. In addition - it added - it has promised to make all the changes democratically, consulting the town. He is not extremist. It has promised to cooperate with the average layers and the respect and the collaboration with the private companies that accept the principles of the revolution. In addition it has developed social programs that do not have parallel in the world and that turns it an unbeatable leader. I think that a town so sacked as the Venezuelan deserves east change. And I see with joy the impulse towards the integration of Latin America, in which Venezuela will be an example of which it is possible to be done when a country puts its resources to the service of the town. Chávez not only uses well those resources but that multiplies them with fiscal measures that before were not taken."
Later it approached the subject of the "Operation Miracle", one of the health programs that plus get passionate it. And it did it with the same intensity of always. As if it had not happened through the edge of the knife leaving in terrible condition to million people. It remembered that in hardly two years, about 400 thousand Latin Americans had been operated of cataracts, pterigium and other diseases of the Vista with the new oftalmológica technique developed by the Cuban doctors. And which all those operations, many of which they had been carried out in Cuba, had been gratuitous, in benefit of Latin American the more poor men.
To the short while Fidel it offered more coffee to me, while they removed a pile to us from photos. With his everlasting enthusiasm, it commented to me admired: "these digital cameras Are incredible".
We were approached the confession. On the table there was a voluminous book. The sober cover, made well, announced One hundred hours with Fidel. And down: "Conversations with Ignacio Ramonet. Second edition. Reviewed and enriched with new data ".
Some months before it had seen with inocultable envies the first edition of that megaentrevista in which the Cuban leader reviews to his life and to the world-wide history that emphasizes it like one of its main protagonists. In last June, the Commander had shown his written by hand corrections to me the answers of the first edition. The questions of Ramonet, obvious, had been respected by the interviewed person. By the end of July, when I returned to see it in Cordova, traveled accompanied by the page tests, in the heat of process of revision and increase. But never it had imagined what it happened after the operation of the 27 of July.
"I continued It correcting at the worse moments - it whispered -. I did not stop to correct it. You do not believe that I did it when I improved. From the first days. And I did it not only by its content but because it had promised to the town that would review it before publishing it. So I spent many hours dictating to him to Carlitos (Valenciaga, its secretary). Many hours."
Then it watched to me, with the awares very been on and that expression like of astonishment that clears the mouth to him when it throws a decisive dart, to clarify in a tone deep, but undressed of emphasis and dramatic quality:
"It wanted to finish it because it did not know what time would have".
The shade of the great limit, of the impossibility of all possibility, still nested at heart of the glance like a coffee bottom. I commented:
"Another great battle".
It agreed in silence and it added:
"These things you the story like friend and writer".
Later it was excused of not being able to give me the book for protocolic reasons, until giving a copy to the Chiefs of State who concur to the Not aligned meeting of the Movement of. To our side, the untiring Carlitos Valenciaga - the young collaborator who read the historical proclamation on the crossing of powers weighed some incorporations to this new increased edition:
"There are unpublished letters to Sadam Hussein recommending to him that one retires of Kuwait. The contextualizadas letters to Nikita Kruschev ".
On the white table the cover of the book with the following legend was also a pamphlet reproducing: "Chapter the 24 - events of April of 2002 and other subjects of Latin America".
"it is translated to nine languages", clarified Valenciaga. I requested one to reproduce it as advance payment in Página/12, after it was given to the Chiefs of State. In individual to two faithful friends who the Commander waits with impatience: Moral Chávez and Evo. In that chapter 24, in addition to the privacies of the insolvent blow against Chávez, the reader will find interesting reflections on the nationalistic and progressive military of Latin America, like Omar Torrijos, Juan Velasco Alvarado or the own Juan Domingo Perón. And acute references to the defeat of Carlos Menem and the triumph of Néstor Kirchner in 2003.
The moment of the goodbye approached. Char it had extended during average hour and. Fidel indicated the modest television set that he in front of had the bed (nothing of plasma nor stereophonic equipment) and commented:
"tele is more and more violent. Everything is of an extreme violence. Everything is publicity and violence. From fiction to the international reporters ".
I said to him, with total sincerity, that went very contented to see it so well to me.
"Everything in its right means", noticed, while it gave a handshake me. "it is not necessary to forget that the machine to repair already is eighty years old."
