# DISPATCHTO:Chief, Western Hemisphere DivisionINFO:Chief, European DivisionChief of Station, JMWAVEFROM:Chief of Station, MadridSUBJECT:Operational/TYPIC/MHAPRON/QUTIMID/QUDOZEPlans of New Cuban Ambassador in Madrid1.  The new Cuban Ambassador to Spain, Orestes Guillermo RUIZ, Perez arrived in Madrid on the Iberia flight of 3 December 1967 accompanied by his wife, Wilda, and three sons. CALZADILLA, RUIZ's predecessor had not been a strong administrator and had let the various components of the Cuban official establishment in Spain run their own affairs. This fact plus the inevitable tendency of a new chief to be a "new broom" and rearrange things according to his own lights, led Station Madrid to expect some changes particularly within the Embassy. However, the QUDOZE and QUTIMID operations have shown RUIZ at least initially to be an aggressive and well organized individual with ideas of his own that clearly reflect his background in commercial affairs and prepared to make changes that promise to go beyond the superficial sweeping of a new broom. Underlying RUIZ's actions and proposals is the clear implication that he came to Madrid with the specific task of upgrading the Cuban mission in Spain both in terms of prestige and effectiveness. Station Madrid will transmit to the addressees the relevant information on this program as it becomes available from the QUDOZE and QUTIMID operations along with information on the official Cuban personalities administering the program.2.  A striking difference between RUIZ and his predecessor was noted in the QUDOZE and QUTIMID reports of that first week. RUIZ has no inhibitions over spending money. One of the Embassy cars, a Peugeot was replaced with a new model and there was discussion of replacing the other two Pougeots with new ones. Nilda, RUIZ's wife, was picked up by the wife of COVIN who turned $200 over to her to go shopping at the Corte Inglesa, one of madrid's two best.Distribution:2 - C/WH Division2 - C/KUR Division2 - COS, JMWAVEContinued ....

CONTINUATION OF DISPATCH OSMA-23,4067. The new Ambassador concluded his report with three recommendations:a. Rent another building where the Chancillary, the Commercia Office, the Consulate and the Cubana Offices can all be housed instead of being dispersed in separate buildings as they are now;b. Rent or preferably buy a residence for the Chief of Mission. The one they now have is not adequate;c. Send another person from Cuba who has the background to take care of scientific work plus continuing the contacts the Mission will have already made. In view of RUIZ's previous statement on the completeness of the staff, such a person would likely be a "non-official" representative of one of Cuba's cultural fronts such as the Casa de las Americas.8. RUIZ concluded his remarks by saying that in Spain there is a tremendous field for the Cubans, they have no language problem and they can do a great work. Such is the goal RUIZ has proclaimed and that Station-Madrid-believes he was sent to attain.Jane D. ASTRAHAN

# DISPATCHTO:Chief, Western Hemisphere DivisionChief, European DivisionChief of Station, JMCOBRAFROM:Chief of Station, MadridSUBJECT:Operational/TYPIC/QUDOZE/QUTIMID/MHAPRONGuillermo RUIZ PerezACTION REQUIRED: FYI1. Guillermo RUIZ Perez, Charge d'Affaires of the Culan Embassy in Madrid, has occupied that post for nearly a year. During that time, the QUDOZE/QUTIMID material has revealed various facets of his personality, showing him to be a man of volatile temper, an incessant talker and with more breadth of experience and outlook than the other members of the local Cuban mission.2. In his public relations RUIZ seems to do well. Here in Spain he has been interested in meeting as many people as possible and in widening his circle of acquaintances. No matter what their political views may be, he feels it is worth establishing some kind of relationship with them and will listen attentatively to persons with a good reputation in the intellectual world. He has laid great emphasis on cultural matters in outlining his plans for the Embassy's activities. He has shown a certain intellectual restlessness, a desire to keep abreast of events in the world outside of Cuba and a willingness to accept whatever he deems to be good or useful from that exterior world. Thus, during his early conversations with his staff soon after his arrival, he extolled the virtues of the Yankee system of "briefing" and the fact that executives have privacy for thinking without being bothered by the routine details of the office RUIZ has been concerned over having Cuba and the Cubans well thought of in Spain. He early said he was pre-occupied by the interpretation he would be able to give to Cuba here, that cultural relations were continued....Distribution:2 - C/WHD2 - C/EUR2 - COS, JMCOBRAGROUP IExcluded from AutomaticDowngrading and Declassification| DISPATCH SYMBOL AND NUMBER | DATE              || -------------------------- | ----------------- || OSMA-24,212                | 13 September 1968 || CLASSIFICATION             | HCS FILE NUMBER   || SECRET                     | 65-6-44/3         ||                            | 65-2-10/9         |

CONTINUATION OFDISPATCHSECRETOSMA-24,212of people he likes to meet. This last winter the couple was able to find a secular school for their children where they would not be taught religion. Along with the rest of his staff RUIZ has exaggerated ideas about the size and aggressive intentions of the WOFIRM organization in Spain and is always on the lookout for a "provocation" even to the extent of refusing to receive an unknown newspaper man who called for an interview.6. RUIZ seems to have little time for his wife, Nilda, and their children and, at least in public, his attitude toward his wife has been quite curt. He has mentioned on at least two occasions having "his problems at home" and that all married couples have problems they alone can solve, but he has never discussed them. Nilda, for her part, in her long conversations with Vera has made no comments that would indicate any special problems. She had always worked prior to coming to Spain and at first was quite discontented with a life of idleness, but adjusted herself to her new situation. She appears intelligent, competent, a good mother and probably a good business woman. She is outspoken but also solicitous and affectionate with her husband, always interested in his work and encouraging him in what he does. RUIZ, like most of the members of his staff, has health problems. He has had trouble with his back since 1955 and here in Spain has had colds and an intensification of the pain in his back.7. Despite health problems, office problems and whatever feelings of inadequacy he may have had, home leave must have done RUIZ good for he returned to Madrid on 30 September 1968 for another year and his wife and children are expected to follow shortly.![Signature of Jane D.

# DISPATCHChief, Western Hemisphere DivisionChief, European DivisionChief of Station, JMCOBRAChief of Station, MadridOperational/TYPIC/QUDOZEConflict Between Guillermo RUIZ Perez and Hector GALLO PortielesReference: OSMA-24,050 dated 12 July 1968Action Required: FYI1. At the time the referenced dispatch was prepared, the QUDOZE Reports were showing the beginning of a full fledged fight between Guillermo RUIZ Perez, the Charge d'Affaires of the Cuban Embassy in Madrid and his first Secretary, Hector GALLO Portieles. As so often happens in human relations, less important issues proved the vehicle for expressing deeper conflicts and problems. In this case, the primary problem can be simply summarized. The members of RUIZ's staff operate independently of their chief and he feels he is neither consulted nor informed by his subordinates on their activities. This is particularly true in relation to GALLO. The specific issues which sparked their quarrels were RUIZ's dispute with Emilio ROMERO, editor of the newspaper Pueblo, and the distribution of Che GUEVARA's Diary.2. A QUDOZE Report of 2 July 1968 outlined a hot discussion that ensued when RUIZ went into a rage over a phone call GALLO had received from Emilio ROMERO. RUIZ and ROMERO are not on speaking terms whereas GALLO and ROMERO get along well. GALLO said he feared enmity with ROMERO would bring about the publication of articles unfavorable to Cuba whereas RUIZ replied that when the first unfavorable article comes out, he will take it to the Foreign Minister and settle the matter on that level. He believes that he represents Cuba in Spain and that his continued ....Distribution:2 - C/WHD2 - C/EUR2 - COS, JMCOBRAGROUP IExcluded from Automatic Downgrading and Declassification.CROSS REFERENCE TODISPATCH SYMBOL AND NUMBERDATE 9 August 1968OSMA-24,112HQS FILE NUMBER 65-6-44/3.SECRET

# CONTINUATION OF DISPATCHSECRETOSMA-24, 112subordinates should back him by taking the same positions in public that he takes, a not unreasonable demand on the part of a Chief of Mission. RUIZ bluntly told GALLO that he, GALLO, had committed an error and GALLO just as bluntly disagreed. GALLO's view was that RUIZ had come in in a bad humor and nothing pleased him whereas RUIZ felt GALLO should try putting himself in RUIZ's place, something he claims GALLO is incapable of doing. Finally, this particular argument ended in a form of compromise with GALLO agreeing to call ROMERO the following day and remind him that he "should call the Minister".3. On 4 July the battle was renewed over the distribution of Che's Diary. At that time the Embassy only had 6 or 7 copies which were being loaned out on an overnight basis. RUIZ said he wanted to send the Diary "to a mountain of people" while GALLO was also offering it freely and without consulting RUIZ about the action or his list of recipients. RUIZ scolded him roundly for this and, ignoring GALLO's attempts at self-justification, told him he had to respect the instructions he received. At one point in his tirade, RUIZ even went so far as to suggest it would be better for one of them to leave and go to work in another country, for example Rumania. Several interesting items emerged from this long quarrel:A. GALLO has some undefined problem which Station Madrid assumes is related to his personality and his approach to his fellow workers. Ruiz said, "Look, GALLO, here everyone knows the problem you have. It is necessary to be hard, because unfortunately all the comrades that have come here through many years, know of the problem..." Ruiz then insisted on the importance of discussing problems among the comrades and said "for example in your case, you have been foolish in not outlining the problem, I was waiting and ESPINO was waiting and PILOTO".B. RUIZ commented that now he can understand the attitude of CALZADILLA. Before, he had thought CALZADILLA was in error but now he feels the same way. He mentions "an ambivalence" and says he will not react the same way, "that CALZADILLA was wrong in limiting himself to a reduced group of persons whereas I will continue to go forward but with everyone, not just a few."C. RUIZ takes a broader view of Party membership than his contemporaries. In commenting on the weekly study circle for members of the Party, he set forth his opinion that all the comrades of the local Cuban Mission should participate even though they may not be members because in his eyes it is as if they all really were members.D. RUIZ repeated a statement he has made on previous occasions - the great interest of his life is foreign commerce. However, in this 4 July QUDOZE Report, he added the interesting detail that he had not wanted to come to Madrid as Charge and, in affect, had been persuaded to come against his will. He believes he is best able to serve in the control of industry and that is where he could perform a tremendous work for his country as every revolutionary
