Jenny León: It was a total shock that Batista left, as much as if Fidel Castro suddenly left Cuba now. And he did it only because things got out of control for him. But the people of Cuba were sick of Batista. We were sick of the government, the thieves, the violence, the relajo [joke] that Cuba had become in those years. Caballero, make no mistake about it—the people were with Fidel!
