unity of martyrdom, of sacrifice, of combat. We want the greatest success for our sister revolutionary organizations, which will never be objects of attack on our part because our only enemy is communism.

Q. - You personally and the M.R.R. in general have always been cited as "favorites" of certain North American groups or governmental agencies. Is that correct?

A. - I would like to have those who speak of this favoritism answer me this question:

Do they call the Bay of Pigs episode favoritism?
Do they call the two years I spent in jail waiting to put my back to the wall and be shot favoritism?
Do they call the state of abandonment in which the clandestine M.R.R. was left in Cuba after the battle of Giron Beach favoritism?
Do they call favoritism the fact that on my leaving jail I had to break with the Revolutionary Committee because it had been converted into an instrument for not carrying the war to Cuba?
Do they call favoritism the fact that we have had to leave American territory to be able to continue the struggle against Castro?
Do they call favoritism the fact that we have to fight a long war because we get no help from those who could make it short?

But these campaigns of "favoritism" do not surprise me.
