Univision Radio's Angelica Mora reports that a meeting of this type had not occurred since 2006, when Raul Castro informed the military command of Fidel's serious illness.
Pursuant to this latest meeting, General Lucio Morales Sabat placed the Western Army (the Cuban military is divided into three armies, the East, Central and West) on high alert.
Further orders were given to close ranks and facilitate more efficient weaponry to military guards at government installations, particularly the Central Committee of the Communist Party and the Council of State, in order to quickly confront "subversive acts."
And that, ladies and gentlemen, are Canadian and European tourism dollars at work.
