GENERAL ASSERTS POSSIBILITY OF RAUL’S DEPARTURE FROM CUBA

Journalist Oscar Haza, who hosts A Mano Limpia — a popular public affairs television program on Miami’s Channel 41 (America Teve) — interviewed last night ex-Brigadier General José Quevedo Pérez (who was the Chief of Logistics for the Cuban Revolutionary Armed Forces — FAR and defected last year) about the current state of Cuban politics and that of the military.

The general, who inadvertently confirmed while being questioned by Haza of the contacts he has with active Cuban military, asserted that high ranking military officers have made contact with the U.S. Government in the past and present.

For example, he cited a message sent to a US Senator by Major General Raúl Menéndez Tomassevich, who died in 2001 and was commander of Cuban Communist Forces in the War Against the Bandits (Lucha Contra los Bandidos ) as well as leading troops in Angola. Tomassevich said in his message, according to Quevedo Pérez, of his disillusionment in the course of the revolution. He also spoke of the chiefs of the three armies (Central, Eastern and Western) about their allegiances and command.

Quevedo Pérez also made the assertion of the possibility that Raúl Castro might leave Cuba for Spain.

There has been information being circulated over pressures being exerted on Raúl by family members to leave Cuba when Fidel does die.
