We organized a breakfast roundtable with national and international partners to present the report “The House of Terror: How Cuba Has Exported Death and Chaos for Sixty Years”, written by Mike González, Senior Investigator at The Heritage Foundation, and translated by Eduardo Puig de la Bellacasa, General Secretary of the CEU-CEFAS Institute for American Studies. 

During the presentation, González emphasized that since 1959, the Cuban regime has pursued a sustained strategy of international projection aimed at the political and social destabilization of other countries. He also mentioned that the report analyzes how this influence has manifested itself through support for armed movements, ideological training, and collaboration with radical actors, adapting its methods to different geopolitical contexts from the Cold War to present day. 

The report also explores Cuba’s role as a central actor in transnational networks of propaganda, repression, and strategic alliances with authoritarian regimes and illicit organizations. González emphasized that these dynamics do not belong only to the past but continue to have a direct impact on regional security and the stability of democracies. He highlighted the importance of addressing the Cuban case from a contemporary and global perspective.
