Castro, 57 years old and in power for 26 years, made the statements during a 6-hour interview with Ricardo Utrilla, president of EFE, who was accompanied by Marisol Marin, the agency's delegate in Havana. The transcript of the interview covered 115 pages. In the interview Fidel Castro also discussed the following subjects: The CIA -- "When I went to Chile, for example, when the Popular Unity government took office, elements trained by the CIA organized a hunt...some of them were even disguised as journalists, Venizuelan journalists, carrying television cameras with arms inside the cameras." "Whenever there is talk of Castro taking a trip, they begin to organize the hunt, the safari." The OAS -- "...The OAS is the organization which, in addition to the United States, takes charge of creating, discrediting, and destroying at the same time." Heritage of the Latin American military -- "They all know that their countries have become unmanageable and they are returning power to the civilians. That is, the crisis is so deep that they no longer consider themselves capable of ruling." Dominican Republic -- "They applied the IMF's formula, and the Army and police had to be called out to kill dozens of persons and wound hundreds more after the initial measures were taken." Panama -- "The attempt to apply some tax measures...also caused a social upheaval. In Panama the National Guard has a patriotic position. It is not prepared to take to the streets to shoot the people." Alliance for Progress -- "Kennedy proposed...imaginative measures...he proposed reforms and economic aid totaling $20 billion over several years. Today the interest amounts to $40 billion a year." Africa -- "Although very serious, the situation is different. There, a large part of the population lives in villages as they have lived for many centuries." Bolivia -- "The real situation at this moment is that no government party controls the workers; they refuse to accept further sacrifices." Peru -- "Social convulsion is evident there. From afar no one can figure it out, no one understands it, and without question it reflects crisis and instability." The pope -- "The pope's trip was subversive because the pope visited some native communities, poor districts, workers' districts and there he spoke of the need to give land to the peasants.... He reflected a situation that exists in Venezuela, that exists in Ecuador, that exists in Peru.... He proposed this as a need of society." Brazil -- "In Brazil the opening occurred as a result of the people's struggle, tile mobilization of millions of persons behind the direct vote.... The political change that occurred in Brazil was not violent, but it was deep, that is, the opening is serious, it is solid." Chile -- "They resorted to the military. Pinochet does not have much time left. The situation is at the most critical in Chile's history..., even the United States no longer likes Pinochet. It is like a volcano." China -- "Twenty years ago they talked about the yellow peril, the red danger..., now they are investing there.... They prefer a more or less orderly China, with social justice, a feudal China, a hungry China." Conservatives -- "If you speak with Latin Americans...you will find that there are very few conservatives left. Occasionally, it is possible that you will not note differences between what a conservative will say and what I tell you...they are horrified." Radio Marti -- It is almost ridiculous at this stage, considering the problems that exist in the area..., a really silly thing to spend money on that station." -END-
