 Havana,
Apr 25 (Prensa Latina) Workers of Prensa Latina Latin American News
Agency (PL), paid tribute today to one of its founders, the Nobel
Laureate in Literature Gabriel García Márquez, who died in Mexico last
week.
Luis Enrique González, President of Prensa Latina, visited the Embassy
of Colombia in this capital accompanied by other officials, to express
their sorrow for the death of a beloved friend of Cuba and author of One
Hundred Years of Solitude, among many other titles.
Prensa
Latina holds him in great esteem, we remember him as the great writer,
friend and colleague in the best profession in the world, as he
described the journalistic profession, wrote Gonzalez in the book of
condolences placed at the diplomatic headquarters.
He recalled
that García Márquez was with the agency in its birth, 55 years ago, and
said he will continue forever as paradigm in the fulfillment of
journalistic work.
The award-winning Colombian writer, alongside
Argentineans Jorge Ricardo Masetti, Rodolfo Walsh, Rogelio García Lupo
and Jorge Timossi, the Uruguayan Carlos María Gutiérrez, and Cuban
journalists, helped create and promoted Prensa Latina's work for several
years.
García Márquez maintained a close friendship with the
historical leader of the Cuban revolution, Fidel Castro, who once said
that Gabo "has on his conscience that I have become addicted to read
fast consumption best-sellers as a method of purification against
official documents".
