Issue:
As Main Topic: One could go to
the most comprenhensive Personalities,
to more precise ones of Diplomatics
Personalities or Ambassadors,
also Cuban Personalities,
and of course the Personality
of Mario Garcia
Incháustegui in particular too.
Then, surrounding the main topic, could be found the followings:
First, Cuba
as the nationality of Mario
Garcia Incháustegui, however, not only this country are
related to him, also the ones in which he was Ambassador could be
related to this issue, that are, besides Uruguay, Chile, Japón, and Malasia. He was also
Extraordinary and
Plenipotentiary Envoy in Paraguay, and Permanent Representative
of Cuba in United Nations.
As Ambassador
in Uruguay
he supported Unions
in Labour Disputes,
and for this reason, or perhaps more precisely using that as the
excuse, the Uruguayan
President of that time, Benito Nardone,
following orders from the CIA
of United States, dismissed
him in 1961.
So, Uruguayan History,
Latin American History,
and the Intervention of
United States in Latin America, could be another Topics
that are connected with this Release
Subsequently, he was Representative
of the Cuban Government in UN headquarters. In
the Debate on the Cuban
Missile Crisis in October 1962, he described the Soviet missiles as Defensive and the Naval blockade imposed by the
Cabinet Kennedy, as an Act
of war. From 1963 to 1968 he Headed
the Department of International Organizations in the Ministerio del
Comercio Exterior (MINCEX), (Cuban Ministry of Foreign Trade)
and Represented the
Cuban government at numerous International Conferences. From
1969 to 1970 he Represented
the Cuban government at the United Nations Office at Geneva.
To
end this section, not a fruit of his great work in this case
add
more Topics to this release, is his tragic death which relate him and
this issue with Planes
and Transports,
and more in particular to Plane
Crashes, and Plane
Hijacks, as he and his wife Gladys Delgado Ortiz
were passengers of the Malaysian
Airline System Flight 653 (MH653), that was a Scheduled domestic flight
from Penang
to Kuala Lumpur
in Malaysia,
operated by Malaysian
Airline System (MAS), that on the evening of 4 December 1977, the
Boeing 737-200 Aircraft
flying the service Crashed
at Tanjung Kupang,
Johor, Malaysia, while
purportedly being diverted by Hijackers
to Singapore,
being the first fatal air crash for Malaysia
Airlines (as this Airline
is now known), with all
93 passengers and 7 crew killed. The flight was apparently
hijacked as soon as it reached cruise altitude. The circumstances in which the
hijacking and subsequent crash occurred remain unsolved.
Now, regarding the desing of the Special Cancelation:
Besides reinforcing the Personality
of Mario Garcia
Incháustegui, as a Portrait
of him with the legend "Embajador
de Cuba", that means "Cuban
Ambassador", it is almost all of the design of the
Cancelation, it also reinfornce the Topics: Cuba, Diplomatics, and Ambassadors, and
adds the Topics: Lenses,
Glasses, and
Baldness.
Finally, in a more symbolic way:
I think that Cuba,
Cuban Revolution,
Anti-Imperialism,
are the Topics better represented in this Release.
Stamps selection:
The stamps selected were:
A stamp released on October
3rd of 2006 about the 40
Years of the Congress of Union Unification, and a stamp
issued on October 5th of
2011 commemorating the 90
Years of the Diplomatic Relationship between Uruguay and Japan.
The reason for selecting these stamps was:
quite different for each one. For the first, I wanted to focus
on Mario Garcia
Incháustegui relationship with Uruguay, and, as he
was dismissed for supporting the Unions,
I thought that the stamp of the 40
Years of the Congress of Union Unification was a good one
to illustrate his work here.
Then, for the second stamp, I choose with a completely
different view. I looked for some stamp related with Mario Garcia Incháustegui
work outside Uruguay,
and the one of the 90
Years of the Diplomatic Relationship between Uruguay and Japan,
seems well suited with this veiw, because is a Diplomatic Relationship
related Stamp, and also it is about Japan,
the country in which he was the Cuban
Ambassador, when he passed away in the tragic Plane Crash
of Malaysian
Airline System Flight 653 (MH653) .
The other merit of the stamp selected, was that includes a nice an
popular Topic, that is the World
Heritage Sites, that are the places (such as a forest,
mountain, lake, island, desert, monument, building, complex, or city)
that are listed by the United
Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)
as of special cultural or physical significance, as it includes the
Site 661 of
his list, the Himeji-jo
Castle
The selection of this stamps, add the following
topics:
The first, besides reinforcing Unions
Topic, also adds Flags,
Manifestations,
40th Anniversary,
Photograpy,
and perhaps more precisely Old
Photography.
The second one, besides reinforcing Diplomatic
Relationship and Japan
Topic, also includes, as already mentioned, the Himeji-jo Castle,
and with it the Site 661
of the World Heritage
Sites, and also is related with the topics: United Nations Educational,
Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), and even: United Nations, Architecture, Buildings, Castles, 17th-century Japanese Castle
architecture, History,
Japan History,
17th-century History.
Also the stamp and it Label, add the Topics: Trees, Flowers, Vegetables by the
beautiful flowered Tree
that appears outside the Castle
Walls, and also a Yukimi,
or Toro, Stone Lattern. The Lattern shown in the
Label is
placed in the only Japanese
Garden of Montevideo, builded on 2001, and located at the
surroundings of the Musseum
"Juan Manuel Blanes". This Lattern is a gift of
the Citizens of Nakatsugawa,
a City located in the Tōnō
Region of Gifu
Prefecture, Japan,
that was founded on April 1st, 1952.
A last Topic that could be added is: 90th Anniversary.
If you consider that there are another topics in
this
stamp, that were not spot in this review, you are encouraged to telling
me about them, so please do not hesitate to post a comment. I would
appreciate your help very much.
