# SECRETVictor Rico Galan was born 6 February 1928 at El Ferrel, Spain, and came to Mexico as a Spanish "niño" (year unknown). He became a Mexican citizen and is now a prominent leftist journalist for Siempre and Politica. He lives at Providencia 930, Mexico City. He is head of the National Press and Propaganda Committee of the Movimiento de Liberacion Nacional (MLN). He was a member of the Committee for Solidarity with the Cuban Revolution and of the Periodistas Amigas de Cuba in 1961.Victor Rico Galan is a close friend of Fidel Castro Ruz. He went to Cuba in October 1962 to write a political biography of Castro. He went to Cuba again in May 1963 and interviewed Castro in June 1963 upon the latter's return from the USSR.Between mid-October and mid-December 1963, he traveled to Panaria, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Venezuela, and Brazil and conferred with leading Communists and leftists in each of these countries. In early January 1964 he visited the Dominican Republic and on 28 January 1964 again traveled to Cuba, presumably to interview Fidel Castro who had just returned from another trip to the USSR.In September 1964, Rico Galan had several contacts with Armando Hart Davalos, Cuban Minister of Education and Antonio Nuñez Jimenez, President of the Commission of the Academy of Sciences of Cuba, who were visiting in Mexico.In November 1964, he published an interview he had with Guatemalan guerrilla leader Marco Antonio Yon Sosa.Rico Galan has very frequent contact with Rogelio Rodriguez Lopez, Second Secretary of the Cuban Embassy in Mexico and identified member of the Cuban Intelligence Service (061). He is also in contact with Oldrich Novicky, Second Secretary and Press Attache of the Czech Embassy who is an intelligence officer, and with Ivan Gavrilovich Alferlev, Pravda correspondent in Mexico who is a Soviet intelligence officer.Rico Galan, according to a number of unimpeachable sources, is a professional paid agent for the Cuban government. He has acted as a courier, carrying large sums of money to pro-Cuban groups in several Latin American countries. He supports the Cuban Embassy in Mexico City in its propaganda activities, often using Siempre magazine in this work. His principal assignment, however, is to act as
[104-10221-10004.pdf — page 73]
2. Fidel Castro's chief political subversion agent in Latin America. During a recent trip to Guatemala, for instance, he attempted to orient politically the split Communist factions striving to overthrow the Guatemalan Government. A tape recording exists of a speech he made which was later distributed to Guatemalan guerrillas. In the speech Rico Galon claimed he was speaking as an individual, rather than as a representative of the Cuban government. In fact, he was acting on behalf of Castro, as he was instructed to do by members of the Cuban intelligence service in the Cuban Embassy in Mexico City, with whom he has been in very frequent contact for the past several years.Attached find a copy of the tape recording mentioned above.

# SECRETVictor Rico Galán's membership in the following organizations:IZI - members subscribe to an active campaign to oust U.S. business interests from Mexico and all Latin America, and to fight against U.S. interests and influence in Mexico and throughout Latin America. Members support the Cuban revolution, the Mexican Government's policy of non-intervention and auto-determination and pledge themselves to participate in activities which will bring greater economic, personal and social freedom to the people of Mexico.There is no indication (at least in public/official IZI documents) that the IZI or its members owe allegiance to any foreign power. It has, however, until 1965, been controlled and assisted by the Mexican Communist Party which gives active allegiance to the Soviet Union. The IZI and the other Communist groups with which Rico Galán has been associated, support Soviet foreign policy objectives, usually without any reservations.The Mexican Journalists Friends of Cuba and the Committee for Solidarity with Cuba follow the same lines as the IZI - with emphasis placed on the distribution of propaganda glorifying the Cuban revolution, and advocating the Cuban Government as the ideal for all Latin American countries.Mexicana-Cuban Institute of Cultural Relations - emphasizes exchange of cultural and scientific information, exhibits materials, artists, etc., always, of course, extolling glorious Cuba and urging Mexico to follow Cuba's lead.Arnaldo Orfila Reynal:His only known organizational affiliation is his membership in the Argentina Socialist Party.One source reported that Orfila was a naturalized Mexican citizen - however we have no record of his having been granted Mexican citizenship, and as late as April 1968, he was reported by Cubana Airlines as an Argentine citizen. It is reported that Cubana lists their passengers by citizenship.
