Clipping from the newspaper Juventude Rebele (Rebel Youth), July 18, 2010.
I have always longed for, among the dates and traditions that were amputated by decree, Epiphany, the Day of the Three Kings. I used to feel equally happy to give as to receive. It was, in short, a very special day for children and adults.
Now, reading this article from the press of my planet, the following questions come to me:
Whose were the hands, then, that erased from the children’s calendar the day of January 6?
Whose hands signed the order to say that children over three couldn’t have jam?
Were they the same hands that also signed the regulation that only children under seven had the right to receive a daily liter of milk?
I refuse to believe that José Martí also have had something to do with it.
