I was thinking Simon Bolivar, Jose de San Martin, Bernardo O'Higgins, Miguel Hidalgo, Pancho Villa, Emiliano Zapata, etc. Fidel and Che can stay too, I suppose. Do we count Toussaint L'Ouverture as well?

Ok lets add my native Cuba's José Martí and Toussaint L'Ouverture as well, he is credited with freeing the black slaves of Haiti, that would make it 10 options, a Post option of other can be option 11. Personally I don't have any favorites, the topic does not really interest me. But I have always supported the idea of a Hispanic Union of nations similar to the EU, Including Belize, Puerto Rico and Perhaps Latin Brazil, not a Hispanic United States of America, or a Hispanic EU super state like the USA. It would only include my native Cuba, if Cuba would become a western style multi political party capitalist republic.

I would suggest to my good friend nak :D to number the Posts like I do, we all should, it makes it easier to follow the results of the Poll. in the case of 10 options:
01 -
02 -
03 -
04 -
05 -
06 -
07 -
08 -
09 -
10 -

Quite possibly. To be honest, a literal disease is the last thing Central America needs on top of all the figurative ones it already has.
