Papi was assisting the Cuban guards at the Peruvian embassy a few days after the incident on April 6. He guarded around the streets of the Peruvian embassy thru his job at the university(Lacujae) in which he was required to be there but the government claimed it was “volunteer,” and he was in civilian clothes dad had been in the Cuban Military and drove tanks. In 1980 Papi was still loyal to Communism, but he soon started to see horrible things that changed his mind. During those dark grey, dangerous times in Habana 1980 everyone in the streets was talking about leaving and the economic situation plus did Castro mean what he said about the Port of Mariel? But Castro had plans to control the riots that had brought Habana to a stop, and the city was about to begin one of the many dark chapters in Cuban history in a long, tense, hot summer in Cuba, but for the first time Cuban turned against Cuban something we had not seen in our past as a nation. Cuba always dealt with outside forces we had never come to Civil War like most nations. From Fidel’s Gusanos (Worms) speech. “And the Gusanos and the privileged the parasites and the sons of parasites that want to abandon the flag and creating crime and treason against our homeland!.” And from his speech “Quien no Tenga Sangre revolucionaria” (However does not have Revolution in their blood.) “However does not have revolution in their genes, however, does not have revolution in their blood, That does not have the mind to adapt to a revolution who does not have a heart that can adapt to the effort and heroism of a revolution we don’t want them we do not need them.”
