Summary: The text discusses political purges within Cuba under Fidel Castro's leadership in 1966, focusing on the trial and dismissal of officials accused of engaging in "la dolce vita" (a lifestyle of indulgence). Major Efigenio Amelijejeias, a deputy minister of defense and member of the Cuban Communist Party, was stripped of his military rank and charged with living a hedonistic life. The purge followed the trial of Rolando Cubela and Ramon Guin, who were accused of supporting exiled Cuban leaders in the U.S. Castro criticized officials for indulging in "parties and good brandy" and ordered some to be drafted into the army or sent to farms. Economic challenges in Cuba, including food shortages and declining sugar production, are also noted as contributing factors to the purges. The document includes internal U.S. government communications about monitoring Cuban political developments and potential defections.
