“He was in Pinar del Río in 1986 – 1987, when the 19 de noviembre Multipurpose Hall was built. He was a military pilot and had a relationship with a girl who was studying for a degree in Physical Education at the ‘Comandante Manuel Fajardo’ Provincial School of Physical Education (EPEF),” explained Valera.
He said that the man from Santiago does not remember the name of the woman, who is believed to be the mother of his daughter.
“He only remembers that she told him she was from Las Palmas (Pinar del Río), that she got pregnant and went with her father to the shelter where he and the other workers stayed. Then he had to go to Santiago de Cuba due to family problems and lost contact with her.”

However, there are also messages of understanding, such as that of an Internet user who expressed: “I think he is being sincere and wants to find the fruit of a love. Maybe they were both very young.
