Juan Antonio Rodriguez Menier

Vignettes from the epoch of a Cuban. Juan Antonio Rodriguez Menier

Only someone who knows Beby or Coqui closely, (he has other nicknames that I still can't quote), can understand the human size of this great man and his family. At first glance, we could think about his condition of being the greatest spy of all time in Cuba, a man who won Abrantes' trust and worked closely with Fidel Castro, Raúl Castro, Ramiro Valdés and most of the persons who configured and configure the high nomenclature of the Cuban government, that he is a spy for vocation. Nothing further from reality, he was one of those brave young men who risked their lives to fight the Batista tyranny. But one day he realized, back in 1966, that something had gone wrong ... For me it's an honor to write about my endearing friend: journalist, writer, political analyst, best known in Cuba for being the creator of "Sector 40" and "Mobile 8", television programs with the highest audience for several years on the Cuban island, and known in foreign countries as the great spy and the first deserter of greater hierarchy of the impenetrable Cuban government at that time. In short, without further ado, I present to you Juan Antonio Rodríguez Menier, descendant of brave mambises. Andy Caso.
