"Tight embrace to the friends of @PrensaLatina_cu History, tenacity, knowledge, characterize a work that we admire."
Prensa Latina emerged on June 16, 1959, in Havana in the heat of the so-called Operation Truth, in response to the need to transmit the reality of Cuba in the face of the media campaign to delegitimize the nascent Revolution.
According to Cuban historical leader Fidel Castro, it burst in as an independent and proper voice of Our America, who encouraged its creation together with Commander Ernesto Che Guevara, Argentine journalist Ricardo Massetti and other Latin American and Cuban colleagues.
