Por naturaleza, soy hostil a todo lo que pueda parecer un culto a la persona, y usted puede constatar, ya se lo he dicho, que en Cuba no hay una sola escuela, fábrica, hospital o edificio que lleve mi nombre. Ni hay estatuas, ni prácticamente retratos míos. Aquí no se producen retratos oficiales. Es posible que, en alguna oficina, alguien haya puesto una foto mía, pero es una iniciativa personal y en ningún caso se trata de un retrato oficial.
