José Miró Cardona

He was an anti-communist judge.

The prime minister, Miro Cardona, also a, an anti-communist bourgeois.

He was, uh, the head of the Bar Association.

So your, your f- this new government They come to power, and, and, you know, the people have just had this huge struggle, but they want land, you know.

Yeah.

Well, there's, here's a big difference between the Cuban Revolution and the Russian Revolution is that in Russia it took eight months, and then you had the Bolsheviks come to power.

In Cuba, it took one month, first of all, for the prime minister to resign.

Uh, Cardona is out of there, and so you have sort of like a political crisis and a shakeup in the cabinet, and Fidel himself replaces him as prime minister and immediately gets to business, at least starting to implement some of the most modest reforms.
