Interview de Perfecto Romero.
« A la mi-octobre 1958 , quand la colonne du Che est arrivée dans ma
region, la Sierra Escambray, au centre de Cuba, j'avais 22 ans. Avec mes
compagnons nous avons escaladé les monts Gavilanes pour essayer de
rejoindre les rebelles.
Après trois jours de marche, nous avons pris contact avec une avancée de
sa colonne "Ciro Redondo". Sous un énorme bombardement, quatre
hommes nous conduisirent jusqu'au Che. Vers cinq heures de l'après-midi,
le Che, assis sur un tabouret, nous reçut un par un. A ceux qui n'avaient
pas d'armes il demandait de repartir pour en trouver une car il n'en avait pas
à leur donner. Quand mon tour est venu, il me dit « Tu viens à la guerre
sans arme ? » A ce moment-là son regard se posa sur l'appareil photo que
je portais en bandoulière.
« Qu'est ce que c'est que ça » me demanda-t-il ? je lui tendis pour qu'il
puisse l'observer. Il commença alors à me raconter qu'il avait lui-même été
photographe au Mexique et que son appareil avait été trempé pendant le
débarquement sur les cotes cubaines avec Fidel Castro et seulement 80
hommes, fin 1956. Il m'expliqua aussi l'importance d'avoir un groupe de
journalistes pour éditer un journal dans la montagne et me décrivit la façon
dont il était en train de mettre en place une imprimerie pour éditer El
Cubano Libre. Il m?envoya alors à la ville la plus proche, Santi Spiritus, afin
d'acheter du matériel pour monter un labo photo. Mais je ne pus pas
acheter grand chose. Le seul et unique journal fut imprimé à Cabaigan. Il ne
comportait pas de photos, seulement des textes. La guerre s'accéléra, les
soldats n'osaient plus sortir de leurs casernes et le Che mit en marche la
dernière offensive qui culmina avec la prise de Santa Clara. En apprenant
cette défaite, le dictateur Batista prit la fuite.
C'est aussi à cette époque, dans l'Escambray, que le Che a rencontré
Aleida March. C'était une jeune rebelle comme nous, appartenant au
mouvement du 26 Juillet. Elle fut d'abord l'assistante du Che avant de
devenir sa compagne puis sa femme.
Les « Barbudos » purent entrer dans la Havane le 2 janvier. Le
commandant Guevara fut nommé gouverneur militaire de la forteresse La
Cabana. »

Interview of Perfecto Romero
(Jazz Editions).
"Mid-october1958, I was only 22 years old when Che's column of guerillas
arrived in my region, the Sierra Escambray, in the middle of Cuba. With my
friends, I climbed the Gavilanes mountains to try to join the rebels.
After walking for three days, we contacted an advance party of his column
"Ciro Redondo". Under a huge artillery bombardment, four men led us to
Che Guevara. Around five o'clock in the afternoon, we met Che one after
the other. He was seated on a stool. He asked those of us who had no
weapons to leave and look for some as he did not have any to give us.
When my turn came, he said to me "You come to the war without a gun?" at
that moment he stared at the camera which I carried around my neck.
"What is that" he asked ? I handed the camera to him so he could examine
it. He then told me that he himself had been a photographer in Mexico and
had his own camera that had been soaked during the disembarkation on the
Cuban coast with Fidel Castro and the 80 other rebels, at the end of 1956.
He also explained to me the importance of having a group of journalists to
publish a newspaper in the mountains and described to me the manner in
which he was setting up a printing press to publish El Cubano Libre. He
gave me a substantial amount of money then sent me to the nearest city,
Santi Spiritus, in order to buy equipment to set up a photo lab. But I was not
able to buy much? The only newspaper was printed in Cabaigan. It had no
photos, only texts. The war intensified, soldiers no longer dared to leave
their barracks and the Che began the final offensive which culminated in the
taking of Santa Clara. When the dictator Batista heard of this defeat, he left
the country.
It is during this time, in the Escambray that Che met Aleida March. She was
a young rebel like us, belonging to the movement of 26th July. She first
worked as Che's assistant before becoming his companion, and later his
wife.
The "Barbudos" entered Havana on January 2. Commander Che Guevara
was named military governor of the Cabana Fortress" (where war criminals
were tried)
