BOOK: JOURNEY TO THE HEART OF CUBA: LIFE AS FIDEL CASTRO (2001) BY CARLOS ALBERTO MONTANER
Page 93: ..."The Destruction of Civil Society: In November 1959, a confrontation between democratic and Communist revolutionaries took place at the Tenth Congress of the Federation of Cuban Workers. There were 3000 delegates, and less than 300 of them were Communists. Fidel's rallying cry, which he transmitted to the '26th of July' leader David Salvador, was 'Unity with the Communists', he planned to bring them into the governing apparatus at any cost, but the labor leaders rejected that. Fidel was obliged to attend in person, to try to salvage the situation. Reinol Gonzalez, Jose de Jesus Planas and Eduardo Garcia-Moure, three young labor leaders who had risen through the Catholic ranks, stood out for their passionate defense of democracy. Roberto Simeon was also staunch in that stance, from an aprista position. After gross manipulation, a compromise was reached. This was, however, the only defeat that the government suffered, and even this one was only temporary. But soon, the Communists managed to reverse the situation and take control of the labor apparatus. It took them a little time, but they achieved it. Reinol took the road of conspiracy, and would spend many years suffering in particularly severe prisons. Garcia Moure and Planas were compelled to go into exile in Venezuela after they were forced to seek diplomatic protection in that country's embassy, in Havana. They were joined by Roberto Fontanillas-Roig who, years later, would become the most respected leader of the Cuban exile community in that country." https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=GHorAwAAQBAJ&pg=PA93&lpg=PA93&dq=Jose+de+Jesus+Planas,+cuban+exile&source=bl&ots=8b6DPpHUmX&sig=ACfU3U3d-WX2Smj4HpLW61Ot-YA_hcPrpQ&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiuwYnY5crgAhUcShUIHXCDAxYQ6AEwAHoECAkQAQ#v=onepage&q=Jose%20de%20Jesus%20Planas%2C%20cuban%20exile&f=false
