Despite his irrelevance in Cuban public life, it was the president himself who announced on Tuesday the death of Camilo Guevara March, one of the sons of Ernesto Che Guevara.
“With deep pain we say goodbye to Camilo, Che’s son and promoter of his ideas, as director of the Che Center, which preserves part of his father’s extraordinary legacy,” he wrote. Miguel Diaz-Canelwho sent in his message “hugs to his mother, Aleida, his widow and daughters and the entire Guevara March family.”

With his sister Aleida, yes, they were the most visible heirs. Both traveled the world and participated in official acts
Born in 1962, Camilo was Che’s third son, after Hilda -who was born to his first wife, Hilda Gadea- and Aleida -who he already had with Camilo’s mother, Aleida Marchwith whom he would procreate two more children, Celia and Ernesto.
