Retiro sailors ask for expulsion from the Cuba ambassador to Peru

Behind the walls of the Cuban embassy, no diplomacy is not hidden.

Exoficial de la Marina in retirement accuse the ambassador of that country in Lima, Carlos Zamora Rodríguez, through a public letter, of being an intelligence operator and claiming his immediate exit from the country.

Peru21 has documented these connections since the first days of the Government of Pedro Castillo, when Zamora was close To Peru Libre.

In the document, signed by the congressman of Honor and Democracy, José Cueto, the retirement officers of the Navy of Peru, organized in the Union Naval group, requested the immediate expulsion of the Cuban ambassador, whom they point out not as a diplomat, but as an intelligence operator at the service of Havana.

In a public letter, the exmarinos warn that Zamora – known in the halls of the Cuban dissent with the alias of “El Gallo” – and his wife would have been formed in the gears of the old Soviet KGB.

His true mission, they maintain, would not be to represent Cuba, but infiltrate, capture and stir for the benefit of the Latin American radical left.

“It is a historically proven fact that the Cuban government is a Marxist-Leninist dictatorship whose obsession has been to radiate its ideology in Latin America,” says the pronouncement, which recalls the links of Havana with Chavismo in Venezuela, Sandinism in Nicaragua and recent convulsions in countries such as Colombia, Chile and Bolivia.

Distrust is deepened by recent episodes. The Naval Union emphasizes that during the government of Pedro Castillo, the then Interior Minister, Willy Huerta, held a meeting with Zamora Rodríguez, whose record never appeared in the Transparency Portal.

In addition, they question the arrival of the country of 85 Cuban doctors in the middle of Covid-19, of whom-according to the document-“it is not known what they did or if they still remain in Peru.”

Peru21 He has reported in various research on Zamora’s closeness with leaders of Peru Libre and his role in political meetings of the local left. The retirement military group collects those alerts and goes further: it asks that the Government of Dina Boluarte reduces the diplomatic relationship with Cuba to a strictly consular level, as is the case today with Venezuela.

“For the security and tranquility of our country, especially before the 2026 elections, we exhort that Mr. Carlos Zamora and his wife immediately leave Peru,” concludes the letter.

The diplomatic board is open. Among the symbols of the Cold War that still resonate in Latin America and the fragile local political balance, the pressure of the exmarines turns on a background question: is the Cuban embassy a diplomatic bridge or an undercover intelligence center?
