When Socialist Guy Mollet became Premier in 1956, he appointed as Minister of Overseas Territories the far-sighted mayor of Marseilles, Gaston Defferre.

Leadership is split between Castro himself, the Havana plotters and a shadow government of sympathetic exiles in Miami. The conservatives at the top fear that the longer they stay behind their desks while Castro is in the hills getting headlines, the smaller their influence on him will be.
