The Newspaper Vocero Occidental wrote an article about Gustavo Gutiérrez, Minister of Finance, on April 17, 1954. The title, "Crematistica Nacional" refers to a government's financial and monetary negotiations. Crematistica refers to the grouping of knowledge and studies regarding the production and the distribution of wealth.
The writer states that Gustavo Gutiérrez, with a brilliant history as a politician, financial expert, and eminent jurisprudent, is not an advocate of "parasitical budgets," but rather, budgets that are functional and practical. "He has earned the confidence of the people and the good faith of Major General Batista. All of the laws that this great Minister of Finance has implemented have solidified the reputation of the nation, placing him on a tripod of honesty, good reputation and hard work which instills confidence and promotes good faith in he who contributes to and borrows from the State. For without these qualities no government can prosper."
The writer adds that Gutiérrez's past experience in the National Junta of Economy will help him in the task ahead, preparing a vast plan of national finance (State budget), increasing the country's quantitative earnings as a result of practical and honest investments, all of which will greatly benefit the people and the nation. He continues saying this present Minister of Finance (GG) fought his first civic battles when he began to shine within the ranks of the revolutionary youth of the so called "Veterans and Patriots" movement headed by General Carlos Garcia Vélez, son of (Cuba's Independence War hero) General Calixto Garcia. Gustavo was also the "voice of gold" (great orator) of the revolution of that time which was won due to the great abilities of President Zayas.
"Since then the nation has never again been able to do without the services of this great statesman; upright, talented, well inspired and often triumphant. From these statements we find good proof of his parliamentary conduct, presiding over the House of Representatives, being elected without sinful compromises..."
" It can be said that Gustavo Gutiérrez is a statesman through and through because not only does he shine as lawyer, professor, parliamentarian, constructive man of revolutionary ideas, functional economist and politician; he's also a great diplomat which he demonstrated in different sectors of the United Nations and specialized congresses."
"For the good of the national economy and the honor of Cuba we hope that Gustavo Gutiérrez triumphs with the same elegance and patrician majesty that he has us accustomed to for some time now especially during these troubled times that humanity presently faces."
