Alcibiades Hidalgo

Alcibíades Hidalgo Basulto (born in 1946) was one of Raúl Castro's Chief of Staffs for twelve years and also served as Deputy Foreign Minister. Later he served as Cuba's ambassador to the United Nations (1992-1994) replacing Ricardo Alarcón. He defected to the United States in 2002 and claimed that "virtually every member of Castro's UN mission is an intelligence agent." "Cuba is, pure and simple, a dictatorship each day more devoid of the attributes that once made it attractive."^[1]

An anti-American -for most of his adult life- Cuban intellectual, Mr. Hidalgo graduated from the University of Havana with a degree in journalism. He was editor-in-chief of the Cuban newspaper Trabajadores. He is divorced and has a daughter, Carolina (b 1991).
