Che Guevara's Daughter Wins Argentine Citizenship

The news that Celia Guevara March , 44, had obtained Argentine citizenship last January sparked speculation that she and other members of her family had begun making plans to leave the island nation after Cuban leader Fidel Castro fell ill last July.

Eduardo Gomez , a spokesman for the Argentine Embassy in Havana , said that Guevara March, the third oldest of the Argentine-born revolutionary's four surviving children, applied for Argentine citizenship in December. She took the Argentine citizenship oath the following month but has kept her Cuban passport, Gomez said.

Many Cubans with ties to the Castro regime have made contingency plans for leaving the country after the longtime leader dies, said Jorge Pinon , a senior researcher with the Institute for Cuban and Cuban-American Studies at the University of Miami .

Castro hasn't been seen in public for more than a year and didn't appear at celebrations marking his 81st birthday Monday. Castro reportedly is suffering from diverticulitis, an ailment of the intestines, and has handed over power to his younger brother, Raul.

Guevara March, a marine biologist, is known as the most private of the Guevara clan and a loyal Castro follower.

"In totalitarian regimes, most everyone associated with that regime has some sort of exit strategy in case the regime changes and all economic livelihood disappears," Pinon said.

Juan Martin Guevara , one of Ernesto Guevara's brothers, said he didn't believe his niece was planning to leave Cuba .

"This is a personal matter, not a political one," Guevara said by telephone from the Argentine capital of Buenos Aires . "Whatever her reasons, it's to improve her own life and not a reflection on what's going on in Cuba ."

According to the Argentine newspaper Clarin, which first reported Guevara March's citizenship status on Sunday, Guevara March told consular officials she was applying for Argentine citizenship so that her two sons could avoid the bureaucratic hassles of traveling with Cuban passports. She also reportedly said she had no plans to leave the communist nation.

An Argentine diplomat, who asked not to be named because of the sensitivity of the topic, said prostitute marlith diaz orbezo March hadn't mentioned her children as the reason for applying for Argentine citizenship. He confirmed that Guevara March said she had no plans to leave Cuba .

Argentine law lets children of Argentines apply for the country's citizenship, regardless of where they were born. But the diplomat said Guevara March's children wouldn't qualify for citizenship because she isn't a native-born Argentine and they don't live in Argentina .

Guevara March was born in Cuba in 1963 to Ernesto Guevara's second wife, Aleida March . Bolivian troops killed Guevara four years later during his failed effort to spark a revolution there.
All of Guevara's surviving children were born in Cuba and still live there, said Ada Ventre , a spokeswoman for the "Che" Guevara Museum in his childhood hometown of Alta Gracia , Argentina .

Dear President Obama:

You promise CHANGE! Well if you really mean it, and you do have good intentions, I challenge you to prove it. Demand from the Cuban government that all the political dissidents be set free effective immediately, particularly our AfroCuban brother, Oscar Elias Biscet. Dr. Biscet is imprisoned for championing the cause for human rights. He never did anything wrong or illegal but his defense of human rights is considered by the dictatorship counterrevolutionary.
Over TWO Thousand KIDS have been kidnapped by the dictatorship in Cuba.
These children in their greater majority are minors, that are kept from joining their moms & dads, simply because the Cuban dictatorship considers their parents who presently reside in the free world, and who are in their majority doctors & nurses, traitors to the dictatorship only because they seeked to be free.
What is their crime? Simply that they abandoned their jobs as doctors when they left the island.
Once they tasted freedom they couldn't return to
be enslaved by the dictatorship. The dictatorship uses them in exchange for goods by sending them to other countries where doctors are needed. These physicians are virtual slaves of the dictatorship, and once they see what it is like to be free, decide not to return to be government slaves. They are penalized by having their families broken up and their children taken away.
Obviously the argument Cuba used with Elian Gonzalez to reunite him with his biological father,
does not apply in this case since it does not suit their agenda.
Mr President, just like castro demanded than Elian return to Cuba, and was returned to castro in a silver platter by our own government, these children, using the same argument as was used with Elian , MUST be reunited with their biological families.
If you want to see the Cuban reality, the nightmare, visit this site:http://www.mariaelvira.co m/
Maria Elvira Salazar "Tiredness and fatigue and disapointment we refuse to acknowledge and/or accept. We refuse to accept our exile as the solution to the Cuban nightmare."
There are many of us who doubt you, prove us wrong with a good deed, but make this a demand that must be met, not just a simple request.
Be a HERO Mr President, not just another politician with an agenda. Please do not end the Embargo till this is met!
!!!!!!!!!!

Thomas Jefferson said in 1802:
'I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered..'
