		In any discussion of alternatives to Castro in the 1950s, one cannot neglect Carlos Prio Socarras To be sure, the most bitter critics of Batista's coup recognized that Prio's corrupt administration had done much to discredit democracy in Cuba.
		Yet Prio had, apart from the legitimacy conferred by being the last democratically elected president of Cuba, one major advantage over his competitors in the struggle to oust Batista: he was a very wealthy man and was willing to use his money to finance all sorts of anti-Batista plots.

		After Chibás committed suicide in 1951, Castro believed he should become the leader of the Ortodoxo Party and ran for a seat in the Cuban House of Representatives in the 1952 election.

		Unfortunately, the early promise of the Autentico government was tarnished by widespread corruption, nepotism, economic mismanagement and gangland violence, with the result that a golpe, or coup, launched by onetime stenographer sergeant Fulgencio Batista toppled Prio in 1952.
		The Prio government, while hardly a paragon of honesty itself, attempted to reduce bureaucratic embezzlement through public budgets and standardized accounting procedures monitored by the Tribunal of Accounts, the National Bank and Agricultural and Industrial Development Bank.
		Already prominent in Cuban politics was 26-year-old Fidel Castro, who, after gaining early experience as a revolutionary, had earned a law degree and started a practice, with much of his work offered pro bono in the slums of Havana.

		Carlos Marcello, Mafia boss of Louisiana and Texas, worked with his fellow Mafia commissioner, Joe Bonanno, in carrying out the assassination.
		If one feels the need for further proof of Carlos Marcello and Joe Bonanno's close association with the assassination group, it is a simple matter to trace their membership in the international Mafia to the Swiss corporation, Permindex, and Rome's Centro Mondiale Comerciale and its Italian Mafia director, Gutierez di Spadafora.

		Running a distant third behind the Ortodoxos' Roberto Agramonte and the Auténticos' Carlos Hevia, candidate Batista saw the coup as a means to achieve through the force of arms what the popular will would almost certainly have denied him at the ballot box.
		From the start, the general faced outright opposition from students, especially at the University of Havana, conspiracies from various quarters, and the threat that the hundreds of police and military officers he had dismissed or shifted to new charges would marshall their discontent in sync with the civilian opposition.
		Batista's new cabinet consisted of men largely believed to be in favor of some form of dialogue; several, like Carlos Saladrigas ("ciudadano civil y constructivo por excelencia") and Raúl Menocal ("dotes de caballerosidad y decencia"), had reputations for honesty and civility.

		With the approach of national elections slated for June 1, 1952, it was clear that former President General Fulgencio Batista was running behind the Auténtico and Ortodoxo candidates (Carlos Hevia and Roberto Agramonte respectively) and that he would not be elected.
		Prío was the incumbent who permitted graft and corruption on the one hand and, on the other, had been unable to stop gang violence, the social problem that pollsters found to be the number one concern of Cuban citizens in 1952.
		Major figures such as Aurelio Sánchez Arango and Carlos Prío embraced violent solutions while other leaders such as Carlos Márquez Sterling and Emilio Ochoa sought peaceful settlement.
