This book was an old idea to compile texts summarizing CADAL’s work in promoting human rights and international democratic solidarity. The motivation to publish it now arose with the news of having been awarded the Gratias Agit 2024 granted by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Czech Republic.

In the words of George Orwell, “one does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship”. That sentence, from his novel 1984 , published in 1949, was to prove true on a remote Caribbean island – Cuba – a decade later. At that moment, the first day of the year 1959, the world looked kindly on the feat of those bearded, idealistic boys, who had defeated the loathsome regime of Fulgencio Batista. (From the Prologue by Jorge Elías)
