Vallegrande this June 28th once again becomes news by indication of Fidel. The discovery shakes Cuba, the whole America and the world. More than 28 years after Ché’s death, there was no consolidated and convincing version about the whereabouts of his remains.
The old airstrip of Vallegrande was studied to the millimeter by geophysicists and other experts of the island, after several versions of Guevara de la Serna’s burial were discarded as uncertain.
The disinformation, propagated by the Bolivian official sources was always a dagger. The corpse was cremated and the ashes scattered from an airplane; Ché was dropped from a helicopter in the deep jungle to feed the wild dogs, while others alleged that the remains were in the United States, in CIA basements.
That labyrinth of assumptions had a key piece to interpret it. Among the more than one thousand interviewees was the tractor driver who was in the excavation of the trench to deposit the corpses that night, but he did not retain the place in the depths of his memory.
In view of the proximity of the discovery, the CIA was determined to disinform and discredit the historiographic and scientific work of the Cubans.
Doctors Héctor Soto and Jorge González, some of the best forensic anthropologists in the world, lead the exploration to find the remains of Che Guevara and six of his comrades in arms.
