The five former Cuban spies gather to commemorate State Security Day.

The five former Cuban spies René González, Ramón Labañino, Gerardo Hernández, Fernando González, and Antonio Guerrero celebrated State Security Day together.

Happy and flourishing, the members of the failed Wasp Network gathered this week to commemorate the emergence of the organ responsible for the repression and imprisonment of thousands of activists and political opponents for over six decades in Cuba.

"Sometimes it is hard for the five of us to get together, due to the diversity of responsibilities we have, but when it comes to commemorating the 63rd Anniversary of the MININT today, and the 65th of our DGI, we cannot miss it! Congratulations, brothers!" said Gerardo, the most active of all, on Facebook.

Former spies lead different lives in terms of responsibilities and positions, and not all of them are equally visible in the media. However, what is common to all of them is their life far removed from the needs and deficiencies that burden the people.

Their privileges in the country, which is going through its worst crisis, have been occasionally noted. In 2021, Ramon and Antonio visited facilities in Cayo Guillermo, one of the tourist destinations in Ciego de Avila, where they were seen enjoying the dolphinarium.

During those days, Gerardo, national coordinator of the Committees for the Defense of the Revolution (CDR), showcased his Specialized bicycle on social media, one of the most renowned brands in the world for its quality and the thousands of dollars it costs.

These are the privileges granted by the dictatorship to those who were part of the Wasp Network, responsible for the murder by the Cuban regime of four civilians on board the Brothers to the Rescue planes.

The five were apprehended and sentenced in the United States to sentences ranging from 15 years in prison to life imprisonment, after it was proven that they had infiltrated as spies for the Havana regime.

After his capture, the deceased dictator Fidel Castro waged an expensive political campaign for years to have them released and sent back to the Island.
