Nota: Publico la segunda parte (ver galería 1) de una serie de imágenes de Fulgencio Batista, organizadas cronológicamente.

Las fotos de hoy sirven (para ayudar) a tener una idea de la vida personal de uno de los dos personajes (acá una galería del otro) que más han influenciado en el siglo XX (y lo que va del XXI) cubano. He respetado los pies de foto de AP.

Junto al Presidente Gerardo Machado que entre otras cosas hizo la Carretera Central, el Capitolio, el dragado de la bahia de la Habana y asfalto' las calles de Sta. Clara, Fulgencio Batista fue el mejor Presidente que jamas tuvo Cuba. En su administracion se hicieron los tuneles de la Bahia y del rio Almendares, las Escuelas Tecnologicas, la Universidad Central Marta Abreu de las Villas el puente entrada a Varadero y el Circuito Norte de la isla. Un gran hombre !
